Today, the Board unanimously adopted LA County’s first ZEV master plan that I introduced w/ @hollyjmitchell. The plan will bring us closer to:

1️⃣Expanded electric vehicle charger infrastructure 
2️⃣Enhanced charger reliability
3️⃣A fully zero-emissions fleet by 2035

There are currently ~30K public EV chargers in LA County, short of our goal of 60K chargers by 2025. The plan aims to resolve these challenges by increasing deployment of public chargers, updating permitting to prioritize EV adoption, & promoting transitions to green jobs.

The County’s Recommended Budget also includes $3.8 million to expand EV charging stations at County facilities for the public, a move that will significantly improve access to renters & community members who don’t have access to at-home charging or want to transition to an EV.
