California electric vehicle infrastructure expansion

Overview

California municipalities are implementing various initiatives to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. In Santa Barbara, new 400-kilowatt DC fast-charging stations have been installed at a public library, funded by state and local grants to provide carbon-free charging in residential neighborhoods. Simultaneously, Santa Monica is investing $56 million into electric transit infrastructure, including 130 DC fast-charging ports to support a goal of a fully electric bus fleet by 2032.

In San Francisco, the city has transitioned from a 2025 pilot program to a permanent citywide curbside charging initiative. Managed by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, the program seeks to install 100 curbside stations by 2030 to assist residents without private charging access. The city has introduced a map allowing residents to nominate locations for new chargers and is now accepting applications from qualified charging operators.
