Source: California Governor orders 5M ZEV target for 2030; more hydrogen fueling and EV charging stations - Green Car Congress

This $2.5-billion initiative will help bring 200 hydrogen fueling stations and 250,000 zero-emission vehicle chargers, including 10,000 direct current fast chargers, to California by 2025.

Also the question, is a completely bare road necessary?
My thought: maybe wider adoption of snow tires could reduce the need for salt.
