Residents and the state\u2019s Low Carbon Fuel Standard and EnergIIZE rebates raised more than $1 million to create the EV station, the news release said. It is estimated that the EV station site<\/a> will balance 11,400 CO2 tons by year, according to the project\u2019s website. That\u2019s equivalent to getting rid of 1.2 million gasoline gallons.<\/p>\n EVs have been described as a cost-effective fuel option as well. Robert Hymes is the chief development officer at Mynt Systems. He said, for example, his drive from Santa Cruz to West Sacramento only cost him $7. Mynt Systems partnered with Quick Quack to house the EV chargers.<\/p>\n \u201cCommuters are freaking out as they watch their driving costs double overnight,\u201d Hymes said. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating, and it feels powerless, but it doesn\u2019t need to be that way.\u201d<\/p>\n Mynt Systems was the developer of the EV station and is a development, engineering and construction firm.<\/p>\n The Sacramento region currently has more than 200 EV charging stations, according to ChargeFinder.<\/a><\/p>\n More than 2.5 million EVs were sold in California<\/a> as of the end of 2025, according to the California Energy Commission. The commission estimates that there are more than 200,00 EV public and shared EV charging ports, surpassing the number of gas pump nozzles.<\/p>\n Will Wiseman, the CEO of Climatize, said the building of EV chargers is part of something larger than a substitute for a gas station. It\u2019s assisting in building environmental infrastructure \u201cat a time when energy is not just an environmental conversation, but a geopolitical one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is what progress looks like. It\u2019s not one big moment, it\u2019s many small decisions that are aligned,\u201d Wiseman said. \u201cIt\u2019s partnerships like this one and projects like this one, and it\u2019s communities like West Sacramento choosing to be part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n The U.S. Department of Energy said EVs have been shown to refine the fuel economy<\/a>, decrease fuel costs and lower the environmental affects on air quality.<\/p>\n Loading\u2026<\/p>\n Related Stories from Sacramento Bee<\/p>\n New EV charging stations in West Sacramento.
