CA SB1258

Requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to prepare and regularly update a statewide assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure needed to support 5 million zero-emission vehicles on California roads by 2030 and 40% greenhouse gas emission reductions below 1990 levels by 2030.

Assessment must examine all necessary charging infrastructure, vehicle categories, road and highway electrification, port and airport electrification, and existing and future infrastructure needs throughout California including low-income communities and emerging electric vehicle use cases such as electric autonomous vehicle fleets.

Assessment shall identify workforce development and training resources needed to meet state goals, including qualified apprenticeships, on-the-job training programs, and career pathways in the zero-emission transportation sector in disadvantaged communities.

Commission must regularly seek data and input from stakeholders including the Public Utilities Commission, State Air Resources Board, electrical corporations, local utilities, transportation agencies, charging companies, environmental groups, and automobile manufacturers.

Commission shall update the assessment at least once every two years.
