California Allocates $55 Million to Expand Public EV Fast Charging Infrastructure
The California Energy Commission has announced $55.2 million in funding to expand public electric vehicle (EV) fast charging infrastructure. This initiative is part of the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project, aiming to install up to 1,000 direct current fast charging ports. The funding prioritizes installations in low-income, disadvantaged, and tribal communities. The project addresses the need for more fast chargers to support longer EV trips, complementing the existing network of over 201,000 public chargers, most of which are Level 2.
