Powering the EV Future - The Electrification of America’s Roads
There are tens of thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the United States, strategically installed in key locations for public and workplace use, complementing residential charging. While most EV owners primarily charge their vehicles at home, infrastructure expansion has accelerated in recent years.
This SAS Visual Analytics report visualizes the number of EV charging stations per 100,000 people by state as of September 2024. The data is sourced from the U.S. Department of Energy, with population data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
With approximately 76,000 stations nationwide, I've aggregated station data at the postal code level, represented by yellow data points. Larger points indicate areas with a higher concentration of chargers, while state boundaries are color-coded based on the number of stations per 100,000 people to illustrate station accessibility. Surprisingly, while California has nearly 50 stations per 100,000 residents, Vermont and Washington, D.C. lead with over 60 stations per 100,000. Nevertheless, California tops the U.S. in total EV chargers with 18,561 stations, making up 24.34% of the national total and serving its population of 38,965,193. New York follows with 4,847 stations (6.35%), while Florida and Texas have 4,001 (5.25%) and 3,964 (5.20%) stations, respectively. Together, these four states play a pivotal role in supporting the growing demand for EV infrastructure.
