As of 2023, California boasts approximately 178,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers, surpassing the 120,000 gas pumps in the state. This significant growth in EV infrastructure has nearly doubled the number of chargers since 2023, aided by better identification of previously uncounted stations. However, projections indicate that California will require around 1 million chargers by 2030 to support an anticipated 7 million light-duty electric vehicles. Initiatives like new building codes will facilitate EV-ready parking for renters and multi-family dwellings, but challenges remain in retrofitting existing buildings.
As of this year, California has 178,000 EV chargers compared to 120,000 gas pumps, marking a significant shift in the state's energy infrastructure.
The number of public and shared chargers must increase to 1 million by 2030 to support California's projected 7 million light-duty electric vehicles.
