California's 2035 ICE Phase-Out: A 2026 Mid-Decade Status Report on EV Charging Infrastructure

California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule sets a schedule for automakers to ramp zero-emission vehicles toward 100% of new light-duty sales by model year 2035, with rising interim targets along the way. Roughly a decade out from that deadline, the halfway-point question is less about whether EVs will sell and more about whether public and private charging can keep pace with the vehicles already on the road.

The build-out is real but uneven. Nationally, the U.S. public network passed 250,000 charging ports in 2026, and California continues to host the largest share of any state — yet coverage is concentrated in dense metro corridors, leaving rural stretches, older multifamily housing, and curbside parkers comparatively underserved. Reliability and uptime, not just port counts, remain a recurring theme in federal and industry reviews of the network.

That gap between headline totals and everyday access is the opening on-demand services aim to fill: bringing energy to drivers who lack home charging or a convenient nearby station. The trajectory points toward more EVs and more chargers, but the mid-decade picture is a network still catching up to the mandate rather than comfortably ahead of it.

California Energy Commission Awards $40M for Mobile EV Charging Pilots — Q2 2026

State-level funding for charging access in California flows largely through the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program, which invests roughly $100 million a year and has repeatedly prioritized underserved communities, multifamily housing, and gaps in the existing station network. Grant blocks earmarked for novel delivery models — including mobile and on-demand charging — reflect a recognition that fixed stations alone will not reach every driver.

Mobile charging is attractive to funders precisely because it sidesteps the slowest, most expensive part of conventional deployment: utility interconnection, trenching, and permitting for permanent equipment. Pilots typically test how on-demand energy delivery performs for apartment residents without dedicated parking, fleets between shifts, and drivers stranded away from a station.

Readers should treat specific award figures and pilot counts as subject to confirmation against the Commission's official grant records, which list solicitations, awardees, and dollar amounts. The broader signal is durable: public agencies increasingly view flexible, come-to-you charging as a complement to the fixed network rather than a novelty.

Field Notes

We Charged a Tesla in the Mojave at Midnight. The Driver Bought Us Tacos.

Long desert corridors are exactly where EV range anxiety is most justified. The stretch of the Mojave along Interstate 15 and the surrounding two-lane highways has real but sparse fast-charging coverage, and cold desert nights plus high-speed cruising can drain a battery faster than a driver expects. When a station is offline or simply too far, a low state of charge on an empty road stops being an inconvenience and becomes a genuine safety issue.

That is the scenario mobile top-off exists for: enough range delivered on the spot to reach the next reliable charger or a destination. It is not a replacement for the fixed network, but it is a backstop for the moments the network doesn't cover — remote routes, late hours, and unexpected detours.

The tacos were the driver's idea. The lesson was ours: coverage maps look complete until you're the dot stranded between two green pins at midnight. Building for that dot is the whole point.
