Over the past decade, electric cars have gone from being an oddity to an everyday sight across California with about 670,000 Teslas, Toyota Priuses, Nissan Leafs and other plug-in vehicles zipping down the roads from the Bay Area to Southern California.

Now, as the state seeks to further reduce greenhouse gases and cut diesel soot pollution, particularly in low-income neighborhoods near freeways and ports where health risks are highest, trucks are likely to be the next form of transportation to go electric.
