Will EV charging stations soon surpass the number of gas stations in the U.S.? Bloomberg's latest analysis examines the rapid expansion of public EV charging infrastructure and its potential to overtake traditional fuel stations, marking a significant milestone in America's transition to electric transportation. https://lnkd.in/esURJnDw #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTransportation

With over 700 new public fast-charging stations added in the last quarter alone, and nearly 9,000 fast-charging sites now available, America's EV charger deserts may be history soon. At that pace, gas stations may be outnumbered in just 8 years. Operators are investing $6 billion in charging infrastructure this year – double the investment from just two years ago. The forecast for 2030? Another doubling of that spend. Read more! 👉 https://ow.ly/3prS50SFEv9 #EVcharging #infrastructure #transportation

The US is🔌🔋~charging~🔋🔌(pun intended) ahead with EV Charging Stations! Bloomberg recently highlighted the rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure in the U.S. The number of public EV chargers is set to exceed that of gas stations in the near future (about 8 years). As electric vehicle adoption grows, the U.S. is making significant strides to support this shift, potentially leading to a new era in transportation where charging up becomes as routine as filling up at the pump.

In the USA, EV charging stations to surpass number of gas stations in the near future; positive change continues. Maybe its time for your business parking lots to install EV charging stations! Who is next? https://lnkd.in/d4KexmHy #EVs #ElectricCars #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Environment

“At the current pace, public fast-charging sites will outnumber gas stations in the US in about eight years — but charger momentum is only expected to accelerate.” The majority of non-EV owning consumers point to a lack of charging infrastructure as a primary reason against going electric, but the times are changing! According to Bloomberg, there will be more charging sites than gas stations in only 8 years. Wild to think of how exponentially quick charging infrastructure is going to grow, especially in more rural areas. https://lnkd.in/da_EcRQu Side anecdote - we took our EV from Charleston to the Outer Banks last week for our annual family beach trip and charging was a breeze. Marcia Newbert and I were even saying that we would have never considered stopping at one of the host restaurants that we charged at, but did because they offered fast charging. And we’re glad we did, too, as they made some fantastic hush puppies. EV charging shouldn’t be seen as an additional amenity, but rather as a core business strategy to increase brand awareness and foot traffic with new customers!

Demand for fast-charging for EVs is skyrocketing: At the current pace, public fast-charging sites will outnumber gas stations in the US in about eight years — but charger momentum is only expected to accelerate in coming years. North American operators will spend a collective $6.1 billion on charging infrastructure in 2024, nearly double their 2023 investment, according to BloombergNEF estimates. That annual spend is expected to double again by 2030. https://lnkd.in/eDEwX2-x

Public EV chargers are predicted to outnumber gas stations by 2032. 👀 Big strides are being made in the EV world and I hope that the trend continues! ⚡ California leads the way with nearly 29% of the nation's chargers. ⚡ Publicly accessible charging stations have doubled since 2020, to over 60,000. ⚡ Over 64% of Americans live within 2 miles of a public EV charging station. https://lnkd.in/gYAgf2ek 🔌 Bloomberg Green 🔌 Bloomberg 🔌 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 🔌 BloombergNEF 🔌 Sara Rafalson 🔌 EVgo 🔌 Union of Concerned Scientists 🔌 International Energy Agency (IEA) 🔌 Badar Khan 🔌 Stable Auto

EV domination isn't a generational eventuality: it's right around the corner. "At the current pace, public fast-charging sites will outnumber gas stations in the US in about eight years — but charger momentum is only expected to accelerate. North American operators will spend a collective $6.1 billion on charging infrastructure this year, nearly double their 2023 investment, according to BloombergNEF estimates. That annual spend is expected to double again by 2030."

Nationwide installations of public charging stations for electric vehicles are accelerating and will potentially surpass the number of gas stations by 2032. In the second quarter, 704 public chargers were activated, bringing the U.S. total to about 9,000. The growth was partly fueled by the Biden administration’s infrastructure program, which deployed about $5 billion to jump-start EV charging systems. Meanwhile, EV operators are projected to double spending this year on charging infrastructure to about $6.1 billion. EVgo, a manager of charger networks, says people are driving their EVs farther than they used to. https://lnkd.in/guTDYX6e

⚡️A monumental policy victory marks a new era for #EVcharging across the United States! New legislation passed in Nebraska now permits charging station operators to sell electricity by the kilowatt-hour (kWh) in all 50 states and Washington, DC. ⚡️ This decade long journey underscores the power of ecosystem collaboration to make progress. Together, we've defined the regulatory landscape and opened new horizons for EV charging across America.
