Javascript is required to use this website.

One barrier to an all-EV future in the U.S. is the current lack of a nationwide charging infrastructure. Although the total number of EV chargers has increased from less than 500 to more than 115,000 over the last decade, they are not evenly distributed among states. To determine the states with the most alternative fueling stations, researchers calculated the number of electric vehicle charging ports per capita, then ranked states accordingly.
