When you look at the slow-down in EV sales, many people report that the lack of charging stations, especially fast chargers, is affecting whether they want these vehicles. In many states, there are few of these per capita. In others, their numbers are rapidly growing.
The number of EV fast chargers per capita is increasing in virtually every state. Here’s where the highest numbers are per capita.
SmartAsset ranked states by the amount of DC fast chargers – which provide the closest equivalent to a trip to the gas station, in terms of “refueling” – per capita.
California
With 8464 EV fast chargers across the state, California is doing a good job of adding these chargers. Despite its enormous population, it has the best per-capita number of these chargers of all the states.
Wyoming
Wyoming has the smallest population of any state but is in second place for fast chargers per capita. At just 94 chargers, it has enough for the major population centers.
Vermont
This state is one of the fastest growing for EV chargers. Its number of fast chargers has grown by about 37%. With its 103 fast chargers, it’s quickly becoming more convenient for EV drivers.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma’s growth rate at adding EV fast chargers has actually been dropping here, but there are still a lot in the state. Oklahoma has 630 of these chargers available to those who drive electric vehicles.
Nevada
With 426 fast chargers, driving an EV in the Silver State is getting easier. Its level of growth in adding these chargers around the state has been almost 24%, making it a top mover.
Maine
It may not sound like a lot to say a state has 177 of these chargers, but Maine’s small population means there is a lot out there for EV drivers per capita.
Colorado
As a major U.S. market for EVs, Colorado is working to get more fast chargers in place. With 733 fast chargers, it has one of the highest numbers of any state and one of the highest per-capita rates.
Oregon
It’s no surprise that Oregon is working hard to get more chargers in pace. With 480 fast chargers, it’s building an infrastructure that will make driving an EV in the state easier.
Maryland
Marylanders are taking more EVs out for a night on the town, necessitating the installation of 681 fast chargers in the state. The growth rate of these chargers being installed year over year is more than 16%.
Washington
Washington isn’t adding fast chargers as fast as Maryland, but it does have 811 for its extensive population. Electric vehicles have been increasingly popular here, especially among the tech companies.
Delaware
There may be only 105 fast chargers in Delaware, but that’s a lot for the population of one of the smallest states. With fast-charger growth of over 15%, it’s a great place for EV drivers to get around.
Virginia
This larger state has 886 fast chargers, one of the largest numbers across all the states. It’s getting more at a year-over-year rate of about 17% as population centers continue to grow.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire may only have 138 fast chargers, but it has the highest growth rate on this list. It has a year-over-year growth rate of more than 42%, making this a big mover in the EV direction.
Connecticut
With this state so densely populated, it’s easy to see why they need their 349 fast chargers. The growth of these chargers isn’t as high as many states, but the number of them does keep growing each year.
Montana
In Big Sky Country, there are 108 fast chargers for the state’s relatively small population of just over a million people. There are also 98 charging stations in this sparse state.
