According to foreign media reports, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced last week that the number of charging piles installed in the state has exceeded 150,000, including 137,648 L2 charging piles and 14,708 fast charging piles.
The news comes just weeks after zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) have just reached the second-highest market share in history in California.
In addition, California is expected to receive more than $380 million in funding from President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build charging piles.
Newsom said: “No other state can surpass California in building zero-emission vehicle infrastructure.
California is committed to clean transportation, investing unprecedented amounts of money to drive transformation.
We are building a bigger, better charging network that charges faster.

These projects range from deploying charging piles in communities lacking charging infrastructure to rapidly expanding charging networks along some of the state’s busiest corridors.
, California is working to make electric vehicles operate more smoothly in the state, including better collecting data to understand where charging stations are most needed and tracking the state’s progress in meeting its goal of building electric vehicle charging stations.
, Data shows that since the end of last year, California has added more than 47,000 new charging piles, of which 24,202 new charging piles were installed in the first half of 2024.
Every day, more electric vehicle charging stations are put into use in California, improving the daily lives of electric vehicle drivers in the state.
, ZEV sales have risen significantly since Newsom issued an executive order in 2020 requiring all new car sales in California to achieve zero-emissions by 2035.
, Data released by CEC shows that a quarter of all new cars sold in California in the second quarter of this year were ZEVs, with a total of 118,181 vehicles, with an average of 1,300 vehicles sold per day.
As of now, the number of ZEVs in California has reached nearly 2 million.
Data released by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) shows that 34% of new ZEVs sold in the United States come from California.
