In 2024, California boasted 178,500 total EV ports compared to around 120,000 estimated gas nozzles, according to the California Energy Commission.

More than 700,000 Level 2 chargers are installed across the state in single-family homes, according to state estimates.

Those are pretty nice numbers. I was going to post that, given the time difference for refueling, you would need a lot more chargers than gas pumps for an equivalent number of vehicles, but they're already there.
