Creates the EV Infrastructure Council consisting of representatives from eight state agencies (Energy Commission, Public Utilities Commission, Air Resources Board, Office of Business and Economic Development, Department of Transportation, and others) to meet quarterly and coordinate electric vehicle charging infrastructure efforts.

Requires the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program and Public Utilities Commission-approved transportation electrification programs to be consistent with the Electric Vehicle Charging Master Plan.

Mandates the master plan include strategies for streamlining permitting, coordinating state agency efforts, upgrading building codes, prioritizing low-income and disadvantaged communities, and leveraging multiple funding sources for charging infrastructure deployment.
