Currently there are nearly 190k charging ports (public + private) and nearly 70k charging stations
If we replace all gas cars with electric, we would need about 850k more charging stations.
Currently, there are 240 more charging stations planned.
They also say many existing charging stations are poorly maintained and/or don’t work.
They alsoalso say 20% of Americans report that they don’t have access to consistent off street chargers for night time charging, and I am fairly confident that number is a huge underestimate.
A huge number of people live in apartments that have none, or at best a small percentage of parking stalls that are or can be set up to support EVs.
I feel that that number must only be sampling current actual EV owners (ie, basically the double or above median area income, environmentally conscious, well to do urbanite/suburbanite crowd) and not people generally, and 20% of current EV owners do not have the ability to charge overnight.
Go on zillow and look up how many apartments in any US city you can afford on the median wage of an area that support EV in their parking lot/garage.
Ok, now in for those you’ve found, every apartment complex like that I have ever heard of of seen offers maybe 5, 10 percent of their parking stalls as EV capable.
Okay dad, just tell us the punchline.
