Ensuring equitable access to EV charging is essential for creating a sustainable and inclusive future in San Mateo County. As electric vehicle adoption grows, many residents, particularly renters and those in multifamily housing, face significant barriers to charging at home.

Sustainable San Mateo County’s 2024 Indicators Report, “Equitable Paths to EV Charging,” provides an overview of the county’s EV charging landscape, focusing on key indicators and insights from local governments. It also offers recommendations to help provide the infrastructure necessary to encourage more residents to purchase EVs.

The guiding principle throughout this report is the belief that access to EV charging should not be determined by housing type, income or location. By adhering to California’s Right-to-Charge policy and embracing community-driven solutions, San Mateo County can build a network that is robust and accessible to everyone.

With targeted investments, collaborative efforts and forward-thinking policies, the county can support its environmental and transportation goals while ensuring no community is left behind.
