California surpasses 150,000 electric vehicle chargers

 


SACRAMENTO – Today, Governor announced California has surpassed 150,000 chargers installed statewide, including 137,648 Level 2 chargers and 14,708 fast chargers. This announcement comes just weeks after California posted its second highest ever market share in zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales.

Furthering today’s announcement, California is also expected to receive more than $380 million from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for building out chargers.

Building a bigger, better charging network is a key part of the Governor’s build more, faster agenda delivering infrastructure upgrades across the state. Find projects in your community at build.ca.gov.

Better data collection

California is working hard to make driving and EV even more seamless in the Golden State, including gathering better data to understand where chargers are most needed and tracking the state’s progress in meeting its EV charger goals.

Today's announcement of updated charger totals is the result of improved data collection by the CEC through the use of additional data sources to track operational chargers. Of the more than 47,000 chargers added to the data set since the end of last year, 24,202 new chargers were installed in the first half of 2024. Each day, more EV chargers are coming online in the state, improving day-to-day life for California’s EV drivers.
