California has reached another clean-transportation milestone. The California Energy Commission (CEC) reports that the state now has more than 200,000 publicly available and shared electric vehicle (EV) charging ports<\/a> \u2014 about 68% more than the number of gasoline nozzles statewide. Chargers can now be found everywhere from grocery store parking lots to office complexes and medical centers, making it easier than ever to plug in instead of fill up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 94% of Californians living within 10 minutes of a charger, and thousands more being added each month, the state\u2019s infrastructure is keeping pace with the rapid growth of EV adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Work Behind the Charging Expansion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As California\u2019s charging network expands, qualified professionals \u2014 including electricians certified through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP)<\/a> \u2014 are key to turning policy into progress. EV charger manufacturers also certify electricians to install and maintain their own equipment, ensuring reliability and performance across different systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEI Construction\u2019s teams bring this hands-on expertise to every EV project statewide, with field crews experienced in installing a variety of chargers, including ChargePoint<\/a>, ABB<\/a>, Delta<\/a>, Tesla<\/a>, and EVBox<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEI Construction has already completed more than 50 EV infrastructure projects and installed over 600 chargers across California. Our work spans healthcare, municipal, and education facilities, including electric school bus fleets, which demand higher power capacity, smart load management, and long-term scalability. Projects like the Turlock Unified School District\u2019s EV and solar installations show how BEI designs systems that balance grid coordination, energy efficiency, and future expansion, allowing districts to cut fuel costs, reduce emissions, and modernize student transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses are also realizing the economic upside of clean energy. Installing solar panels and EV chargers can transform parking areas into revenue-producing assets<\/a>. Drivers who stop to charge tend to shop or dine nearby, boosting local sales. When solar generation supports those charging stations, organizations can lower energy costs, reduce grid reliance, and build resilience during peak demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charging Toward a Cleaner Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Redding in the north to Tehachapi in the south, BEI is helping shape California\u2019s charging landscape. With more than 200,000 public chargers now in service, the state\u2019s progress is unmistakable \u2014 and BEI Construction continues to help build the reliable, safe, and scalable infrastructure powering that future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
