As EV Sales Collapse, California To Spend $1.9B More On Charging Stations

California Governor Gavin Newsom is pushing ahead with $1.9 billion in state spending on a public electric vehicle charging network as EV sales plummet.

The state aims to build 40,000 chargers, compared to the just over 10,000 EV fast chargers it currently has. [emphasis, links added]


“Our clean transportation future is here with more than 1 in 4 new cars sold in our state being electric. That’s why California is building a bigger and better zero-emission charging network – the most extensive in the nation,” said Newsom in a statement.

Should the state spend the allocated $1.7 billion out of the $1.9 billion on 30,000 chargers, each charger will cost nearly $60,000.

California EV sales fell 10% in the last quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter, and another 3% in the quarter before that after skyrocketing over the prior decade.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

The only people more stupid than Mejifornia politicians are military flag officers so may the machines can be sold to the military for a "respectful" profit.
