    Purpose

    The program's goal is to expand the the number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations installed by small businesses in California. Millions of consumers in the state do not buy zero emission electric vehicles because of the average driving range of 80-100 miles and the lack of charging stations. This program provides incentives to small business owners and landlords to install EV charging stations for employees, clients and tenants.
