In February, the California Energy Commission (CEC) proposed awards of $8.87 million to four companies to install a network of DC fast-charging stations along major highways in California. ChargePoint, Recargo, EVConnect and NRG EV Services were awarded grants to install DC charging stations along different routes and sections including Interstate 5, State Route 99 and Highway 101. The significance of establishing a West Coast corridor—from Baja California to British Columbia—for the future of EV adoption should not be overlooked. The CEC is expected to put each of the four projects to a final vote on April 13.
The common perception of electric cars is that they can serve well for local driving, but regional or national trips are prohibitive due to limited range and long recharge times. The combined development of affordable longer range EVs and abundant highway-based quick-charging could change that scenario.
