Charging Infrastructure for Advanced Clean Trucks in California

This technical report outlines the charging infrastructure necessary to support the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation in California through 2032. It details the projected electric medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) vehicles expected on California roads under ACT compliance, estimating approximately 360,000 vehicles by 2032. The report specifies the types of charging ports required, indicating that the majority will be Level 2 ports located at depots, with a smaller number of en-route fast charging ports. The analysis suggests that California will need around 74,000 Level 2 charging ports for class 2b/3 vehicles and approximately 82,000 charging ports for class 4-8 vehicles by 2032. Additionally, the report discusses the expected electricity consumption associated with this EV adoption, estimating a total of 7,474 GWh per year, which represents 3.0 percent of the state's total annual electricity sales. The findings aim to support planning and infrastructure development for zero-emission transportation in California.
