LIMATE AND WEATHER PATTERNS ARE
changing in California and across the planet. Extreme weather events such as wildfires are happening more frequently,
precipitation has become increasingly variable, heat waves are more common, and temperatures are
warming. Climate and weather scientists have tracked the
observed changes since the mid-20th century and linked
them mainly to human activity and influence. The human
activity, including the burning of fossil fuels, has led to a
significant release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which disrupts the global carbon cycle and leads to global warming.

According to the 2018 California Energy Commission
report, in that state, transportation is the largest source of
greenhouse emissions, accounting for about 40.6% of the
total and more than 50% when emissions from refineries
are included. Given this, the fundamental effort of California for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to transform
the transportation system from gasoline to electric vehicles (EVs), aligned with Senate Bill 350 encouraging transportation electrification.
Currently, EVs make up only a small percentage of the
auto market. In 2017, the new EV sales market share in
California was 4.92%; for the United States, this number
was 1.18%. Obstacles to increasing EV market share
