Publisher

Electric vehicle (EV) market share is increasing and substantial public and private investment in EV charging infrastructure is rising to meet demand. This report examines recent developments across a dozen states in the Southeast.

In particular, this brief will answer:

  • What are the recent changes in overall Level 2 and direct current fast charging (DCFC) port counts across Southeastern states?
    • Are there substantial differences in the growth of EV ports between states during the last year (2023)?
  • How has EV charging infrastructure per capita changed in the last five years across the region?
    • Are there substantial differences in the number of EV ports per capita in the last five years?

The analysis reveals that the number of EV charging ports in the Southeast continues to grow rapidly; however, the at-large public EV charging port access in the region remains behind the national average.
