Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas-powered cars. However, one of the main barriers to mass adoption is "range anxiety" - the concern that an EV could run out of battery power before reaching the next charging station. To alleviate these worries and encourage more drivers to make the switch to electric, robust charging infrastructure is essential nationwide.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, EV Charging Station sales have increased significantly in recent years. In 2021 alone, EVs made up around 5% of new car sales in America. As the market share grows, so too does the need for convenient, reliable public chargers for those without home charging capabilities. Some key stats highlight the current situation:
- There are only around 50,000 public charging stations in the United States currently. This is far below the estimated 500,000 public and shared stations that will be needed by 2030 according to the International Energy Agency.
