EVs charging: oh-oh. Link here. By Charles Kennedy so you know it's gonna be good.
While electric vehicle registrations in the United States have surged by 142% since the beginning of 2023, the pace at which public charging point installations are growing has been just 22%, risking undermining the current momentum of EV sales in America.
As of September 2024, registrations of electric vehicles in the United States hit 3.5 million units, per data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) cited by Reuters’s columnist Gavin Maguire.
That’s a surge of 142% since the beginning of 2023.
But the number of public EV charging points is rising at a much slower pace of just 22% since the start of 2023, the data from AFDC showed.
While all U.S. states have seen rising EV registrations over the past 20 months, the numbers of public charging points are growing unevenly across the country.
If the U.S. is to sustain the strong growth in EV sales, it needs a faster rollout of public charging points, Reuters’s Maguire notes.
The lack of a standardized plug for charging and the still underdeveloped network of EV charging points have been some of the key obstacles to the wider adoption of electric vehicles.
Many, many other issues not even addressed in this article.
The question not being asked: why? Why is the EV-charging network not being built out, despite all the government's push on EV charging units?
