EV charging infrastructure: California will get another 1,500 EV charging stations as state regulators approved a 22m dollar initiative by Southern California Edison. If successful, the utility aims at expanding the programme to include 30,000 EV chargers. The stations will be erected at workplaces, fleet facilities, multi-unit dwellings, parks and shopping malls. Participants will own as well as operate the charging stations.
