“The California EV driver experience is getting better by the day,” CEC Chairman David Hochschild said in a statement.

“Not all customers will be able to afford higher-priced tires that can meet or exceed whatever rolling resistance target the CEC will require.”

"The plan will increase access to charging and hydrogen fueling for individuals, businesses and public agencies, while supporting our emerging manufacturing ecosystem and creating jobs," CEC's Lead Commissioner for Transportation Patty Monahan said in a statement.

CEC Commissioner David Hochschild, a Newsom appointee, compared the meeting to “looking through a picket fence” with commissioners “seeing only some of what’s on the other side.”

The CEC source called for quick movement on the plan.
