California ranks first in total EV infrastructure, study finds
In Alabama, CBS 42 reported that California state ranks first in total EV infrastructure, with over 51,000 chargers, according to data from iSeeCars. New York comes in a distant second place with 11,951 chargers, followed by Florida with 9,776 and Texas with 9,060, according to the report. “California ranks well in total electric vehicle chargers, but it’s outranked by Vermont in residents per EV charger,” said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars executive analyst.. “Massachusetts, Colorado, and Maryland round out the top 5 states for electric vehicle chargers per resident, while Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, Kentucky, and Alabama are the least EV-friendly states.” Nationally, Level 2 chargers grew by 20.6 percent last year, while Level 3 chargers grew by almost twice as much, at 37.5 percent. “This growth in Level 3 chargers is encouraging because the increasing size of newer electric vehicle battery packs magnifies the need for more Fast Chargers to effectively serve the drivers of those vehicles,” said Brauer.
