⚡️Visited @ridezum's bus yard in Oakland: the first 100% electrified school district transportation system in the country!
🚌 74 V2G capable electric school buses
🔌 74 chargers & 84 ports
💡 It's a Virtual Power Plant that can send 2 GW hours of energy back to the grid annually

Another positive proof point in California's clean energy transition — 1 in 4 new car shoppers are choosing zero-emission models. Let's keep up the momentum.

Electrifying news! ⚡ According to @CalEnergy, zero-emission vehicle sales are surging, with 1 in 4 Californians choosing non gas powered vehicles.
And the momentum keeps building! CA just secured over half a billion dollars to boost grid reliability and deliver cleaner, more affordable electricity statewide. Plus, local tribes are receiving $88 million to support their communities! This is a huge win for our #cleanenergy future.

Zero-emission vehicles sales in California have officially notched one of their best quarters ever!
Last quarter, more than 118,000 new ZEVs were sold — 25.7% of all new vehicle sales in the state.
Delighted to join with CARB Chair @mslianeran on this op-ed in the @mercnews to clear the air on the future of zero-emission vehicles. Far from being over, the EV revolution is in full swing 🔌🚗⚡️ mercurynews.com/2024/05/29/o… #CAClimateAction
Honored to have been recently re-appointed & sworn in to another term as @CalEnergy Chair.
As we approach CEC's 50th anniversary, we've grown to nearly 800 dedicated staff, together responsible for a $10 billion budget that'll help CA continue to lead the way.

More⚡️electrifying news: 100K EV chargers🔌 across California! @CalEnergy continues to push forward to provide accessible, reliable, & convenient charging for all.
California just hit another EV milestone: 100,000 public chargers have been installed across the state. 🚗🔋⚡
No other state in the nation is doing as much as California to make our tailpipe-free future a reality. gov.ca.gov/2024/03/01/califo…
Opening the Tesla network to all EVs marks a tremendous milestone in the journey toward a clean transportation future 👏
We're opening our Supercharger network to NACS-committed automakers starting today.

🌐@ChairHochschild, Commissioner @NoemiGallardo & Senior Advisor on Tribal Affairs Sierra Graves represented #CalEnergy at @ENERGY's #TribalCleanEnergySummit in Temecula, CA.
The two-day event yielded historic investments in tribal clean energy projects & infrastructure. 🍃
Reports of a downturn in the EV market are greatly over exaggerated. The fact is sales are exceeding state projections & are expected to remain strong in the years ahead.
Take a look at annual EV sales in California over time. In 2023 there were 446,961 EVs sold in California. Ten years ago, in 2013, there were 39,805 EVs sold in California. That's a 1022% increase 😱 #ElectricForAll

Consumers are making it clear that the future is zero-emissions, and new data shows that California continues to break records and make progress toward its air quality and climate goals.
California truly is a postcard from the future on this issue, and many others. Thanks to the @washingtonpost for having me on this week to help set the record straight about the growth that is happening in this sector.
.@ChairHochschild, chair of the California Energy Commission, and @apoorv_bh89, CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, join @PostLive for a series of conversations that assess the demand for electric cars and the role of the grid in powering the vehicles. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1YqJDgloj…
You may have news recently suggesting that EV transition may not be happening. In reality, 2023 was the highest ever EV sales in CA & around the nation — 2024 is on track to be bigger still. 1 in 4 cars sold in CA today have a plug & we are adding 1200 EVs every day in our state.
The Q4 EV Market Report is here. Data shows a 29% increase in new EV sales from 2022 to 2023 and an 8.2% increase in new EV sales in Q4 2023 compared to Q4 2022. Additionally, over 1.2 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2023! Read the full analysis here: veloz.org/q4-2023-data-shows…

Working with @CalEnergy @ChairHochschild to make sure the @USNavy @USMC are ready to face the shared challenges of climate change. Six years of partnership, working together to increase energy resilience for our installations and communities.
Met with our partners at the @USNavy in San Diego this week on electrification, power plant siting, energy storage and more. Fantastic to see new fast charger installed for sailors to encourage electric vehicles.
