Implementation for Cycle 2 will begin on July 1, 2019, and continue through Dec. 31, 2021, according to a release. Electrify America is committed to investing $800 million in ZEV projects through four investment cycles over a 10 year period.

The upcoming EV investment plan, as well as the current one that began on Jan. 1, 2017, plans on continuing to support these Californian communities: Riverside; San Bernardino; Santa Rosa; Fresno; Los Angeles; Long Beach; Anaheim; Sacramento; Roseville; Arden; Arcade; San Diego; Carlsbad; San Francisco; Oakland; Hayward; San Jose; Sunnyvale; and Santa Clara, Electrify America has said.

These metro areas are expected to account for 89% of expected battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in operation through 2022, according to a 2017 Navigant report.
