State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission: electric and zero-emission vehicles: charging and refueling infrastructure: ports.

Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, working with specified state entities, to prepare a statewide assessment of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure needed to support the levels of electric vehicle adoption required to meet the goals of putting at least 5,000,000 zero-emission vehicles in service by 2030 and of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Existing law requires that the assessment expand on the commission's electric vehicle infrastructure projections to consider all necessary charging infrastructure, all vehicle categories, road, highway, and off-road electrification, port and airport electrification, and other programs to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles to meet those goals, and examine existing and future infrastructure needs throughout California, including in low-income communities. This bill would specify that the assessment's examination of existing and future infrastructure needs throughout California also includes the needs of communities affected by port operations, including port operations at the busiest commercial land port of entry in the state. This bill would require the commission, for purposes of supporting the reduction of vehicle emissions associated with the state's commercial port operations, to allocate certain moneys for purposes of deploying light-, medium-, and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle charging and refueling infrastructure to the state's commercial ports, including the busiest commercial land port of entry in the state.
