The California Energy Commission recently released its report "2015‐2016 INVESTMENT PLAN UPDATE FOR THE ALTERNATIVE
AND RENEWABLE FUEL AND VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, " available from http://www.energy.ca.gov/2014publications/CEC-600-2014-009/CEC-600-2014-009-SD-REV.pdf
Some highlights of California state spending on ZEV infrastructure:
$40M spent on Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure in 2013 - 2015, with $20M more planned for 2015-2016.
$22M spent on electric charging infrastructure with $18M more planned for same periods (Table ES-2, p.4)
9 DC fast chargers installed as of late 2014, 104 more planned (by late 2016?; Table 13 on p. 34)
DC fast chargers cost about $15,000 each vs. $1500 per L2 (Table 14, p. 36)
There are 100,000+ BEVs in CA, and probably less than 1000 (my WAG) hydrogen cars.
The CEC has spent nearly 2x more on hydrogen than electric fueling / charging stations in 2013 - 2015.
Is this how you want our state to spend our money???
If not, contact them at [email protected] or any of the other contact points listed at http://www.energy.ca.gov/contactus.html
It would be great if a few of us wrote them about this egregious imbalance of funds.
