Speaking of California’s dysfunction, the state has vowed to become the world leader in forcing electric vehicles onto the marketplace, but only 43,000 public chargers have been installed statewide and many of them are often out of service due to outages.

Charging companies say there simply aren’t enough certified electricians to install and repair the devices.

Power outages in California are also an increasingly common occurrence.

California will need 1 million electric chargers by 2030 to reach its green dream, but so far there are only 105,000 public and “shared private” chargers today. To meet the 2030 target, 130,000 new stations – more than seven times the current pace – must be built every year for the next seven years. By 2035, all new cars sold in the state must have zero emissions.
