"More than 2.5 million electric vehicles have been sold in California since
2010, exceeding one of the state’s EV goals despite setbacks in clean energy
brought on by the Trump administration.
This week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Gov. Gavin Newsom
announced that the Golden State surpassed a target to put 1.5 million
zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown set the goal in 2012 with an executive order that also
allocated $120 million for charging infrastructure. Prior to 2010, fewer than
600 zero-emission vehicles had been sold in the state, according to the
California Energy Commission.
“California didn’t reach 2.5 million zero-emission vehicles by accident — we
invested in this future when others said it was impossible,” Newsom said in a
statement. “California is ensuring American workers and manufacturers can
compete and win in the industries that will define this century.”"
