The State of California, which is suffering from massive budget deficits, will spend $1.4 billion to expand a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to assist drivers of the cars that Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to require by 2035.
As Breitbart News noted earlier this week, Newsom’s EV mandate is in trouble, with sales falling far below targets. In addition, as the Los Angeles Times reported, Newsom is raising eyebrows by continuing to propose new spending — even though the state is suffering under massive budget deficits, despite lavish coronavirus relief from the federal government under President Joe Biden’s inflationary American Rescue Plan, which he signed on taking office in 2021.

“stuck on stupid”
Don’t worry. California voters will right that sinking ship.
The fed spigot gets closed in 5 weeks. The reality train is heading down the tracks
Federal spigot closed...
Don’t count on it.
$1.4B is a lot of money. I bet they can build at least 5 charging stations with money like that.
somebody is not going to get paid. I wonder who.
Hyperbole. I’m sure it will take time to undue to Ca fed money flow but it Gavin’s gold card will be canceled.
bttt
I wonder if California will oblige
Yes they have many are hit the media tries to keep it mum and the scrap dealers doing the same.
Illegals much happy
It will take some time but the new administration is going to squeeze CA dry.
thats about 3 more stations according to the biden math
by drilling holes on the high side.
It is 12F right now in my neck of the woods. I’am never going to own one of these sunbelt EV’s. The better off in my area drive them but they aren’t going to take them on road trips in these conditions..
“Don’t worry. California voters will right that sinking ship.”
Didn’t you mean:
Don’t worry. California voters will sink that righted ship.
....they can put a charging station on every corner, but without electricity it doesn’t matter...
and shutting down gas stations ? LOL
Just think of the pollution caused when the thieves burn the insulation off.
In any case the CA grid will melt down since thew stupid dims closed the power stations down.
In other new AI and Bitcoin searches are energy intensive.
Microsoft is planning to reopen a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, but it's not the only tech giant tapping into nuclear energy to meet AI's increasing power needs: Google is also getting into the game with a new partnership.
On Monday, Google signed "the world's first corporate agreement" to buy nuclear energy from engineering company Kairos Power. Within the next six years, Kairos Power will get its first power-generating nuclear reactor up and running. By 2035, the company will provide Google with multiple sources of nuclear power.
The agreement adds 500 megawatts (MWs) of power to the U.S. grid.
By Federal DOT standards that should build about 1/3 of a charging station.
Having the government involved is actually a good thing because the dissatisfaction with the service is a sure fire way to kill the EV industry.
