On February 20, 2025, the California Energy Commission (CEC) released a new dashboard that maps the state’s zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) charging and hydrogen fueling points. [Charging points refer to one electric vehicle (EV) charging port, while fueling points refer to one hydrogen fuel nozzle.] Using ArcGIS software, the dashboard maps the location of the 2,128 public charging and fueling points, using color codes to indicate the type of station: orange for EV charging, green for hydrogen fueling, and purple for stations offering both. The dashboard also highlights the estimated 14,199 private fueling positions (ports and nozzles) by county. The majority of these private stations are located at private depots that serve specific fleets to support local and regional needs. The dashboard also includes data layers showing the location of major transportation corridors, air quality district boundaries, county boundaries, disadvantaged or low-income communities, electric utility service territories, and sea ports within California.
According to Hannon Rasool, the Director of CEC’s Fuels and Transportation Division, “This new dashboard will be an invaluable tool in creating transparency, showing the ongoing progress in deploying infrastructure, and evaluating MDHD ZEV infrastructure needs across the state.”
The data used to populate the dashboard was obtained by CEC through an interagency effort with California Transportation Agency (CalSTA), California Transportation Commission (CTC), Caltrans, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Air Resources Board (CARB), and other air quality management districts across California. Broader interagency efforts to support MDHD ZEVs and infrastructure include but are not limited to the Zero-Emission School Bus and Infrastructure (ZESBI), which distributes $500 million to school districts and other educational entities to replace aging school buses with ZEVs and infrastructure; Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), which offers point-of-sale discounts for zero-emission trucks and buses; the Zero-Emission Truck Loan Pilot Project, which provides financing options for small businesses transitioning MDHD fleets to ZEVs; the On-Road Heavy-Duty Voucher Incentive Program, that offers funding to replace higher polluting heavy-duty vehicles that are six years or older; and the EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles Program, which provides funding for EV charging or hydrogen fueling infrastructure to support zero-emission trucks, buses, and associated equipment. These programs will help California meet their goal of 100 percent zero-emission MDHD vehicles on the road by 2045, and reduce transportation emissions from MDHDs, which account for over 35 percent of the state’s transportation emissions.
