Currently, there are 48% more electric vehicle charging stations in the state of California (USA) than gas stations. And in absolute numbers, these are 178,000 charging ports against 120,000 gas stations.
According to information provided by the California government, this most environmentally friendly state in the USA has an interesting situation: there are 48% more electric vehicle charging stations than traditional gas station fuel pumps.
However, it is worth noting that the majority of chargers are slow, while fast DC stations, comparable to traditional gas stations, number only 17,000.
However, the total number of charging stations has almost doubled since 2024. Recall that currently one in four new cars in California is electric.
The state government has allocated $1.4 billion to further develop charging infrastructure, despite attempts by the Trump administration to limit funding.
California intends to completely stop selling gasoline and diesel cars by 2035, although these plans may face serious challenges at the federal level.
