TDW,

There is not an electric utility in the world that wants to see EVs go down. These utilities are, of course, selling electricity, so there is a symbiotic relationship there. In California companies such as San Diego Gas and Electric  are in the process of rolling out thousands of charging stations for EVs. SDG & E claims that there are economic, environmental and health benefits associated with more EVs. (Of course, Trump says the exact same thing about coal!)

Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric as well as Governor Moonbeam are all on board. PG & E will roll out 7,500 charging stations in northern California initially. SDG & E will construct a similar number of stations in southern California. Most people will continue to charge while sleeping at home.
