Electric vehicles and charging dead zones in California: Why owning an EV isn't easy for everyone

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California hopes to accelerate its push toward 100% zero-emission new car sales by 2035. But some people who want to do their part to lessen the carbon footprint are having to install impractical, makeshift charging stations.

The charging station Rebecca Lucky of Santa Clara County constructed to charge her 2019 Nissan Leaf is not like charging stations you may have seen in parking lots or garages.

There's exactly one charging station in all of Macon County. It's located at the power station in Lafayette and I've never seen a single car hooked up to it.
