Charging Ahead or Falling Flat? A State-by-State Analysis of the US EV Charging Infrastructure

Some American states lack adequate numbers of public EV chargers

There's been a 32% rise in the overall count of electric vehicle charging points across the U.S. since 2023, yet this expansion hasn't been uniform across all states, according to recent research by Here Technologies.

Here, a provider of mapping data for automotive navigation systems and location-oriented services, assessed the electric vehicle charging network by examining the distance drivers need to travel to locate a charging station, the speed of the charging process, the volume of electric vehicles present in a particular state, and the probability of arriving at a charging station that is not already in use.

Each state was evaluated and scored based on four criteria, with each category offering up to 25 points, cumulating in a maximum score of 100. Delaware emerged as the top scorer with 79.4 points, with the District of Columbia coming in second with 72.5 points. Both Massachusetts and Nevada shared the third spot with a score of 64.2, while Connecticut was next in line with a score of 63.7 points.

Alaska came in last with a score of 19.6. Just ahead of Alaska, Arkansas earned 33.3 points, followed by Idaho at 35.3 points, Nebraska at 37.3 points, and Minnesota at 40.7 points.

When examining particular data points, the states of Delaware, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, and Indiana experienced the greatest advancements in their electric vehicle charging systems, as reported by Here. On the flip side, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maine, and Nebraska topped the charts in terms of reliability, boasting a 98% operational rate for their charging stations during the assessment period. Meanwhile, Alaska, Washington D.C., and Hawaii reported higher than average instances of out-of-service chargers, exceeding a 10% malfunction rate at the time the study was conducted.

There's a noticeable unevenness across regions in the sluggish deployment of the nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging grid, which is supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The pace at which this network is being established varies, as states have the autonomy to decide the allocation of federal funds and are advancing at diverse rates in executing their plans for charging infrastructure.
