Check this out:-

“California regulators have turned down a $654 million proposal to build 25,100 electric-vehicle charging stations in Pacific Gas & Electric territory, citing the need to hold several hearings before approving such a high-cost initiative.”

>
> The utility will be allowed to deploy only a fraction of the EV stations it originally proposed.

Is California really an “EV state” as the politician would have you believe?

Pretty expensive charging stations at $26000 each. I’d like the contract on that one. Are the numbers right?
