National Electric Vehicle Charging Station Coverage Improvement

Planned

The project aims to enhance the coverage of electric vehicle charging stations across the United States, focusing on building fast charging stations along designated highways to facilitate long-distance travel. The federal government has invested $7.5 billion into this initiative, which includes the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program. The study develops a consecutive coverage metric to assess the accessibility of charging stations within 500 miles of each county, revealing that while most counties will benefit from the new infrastructure, some rural areas may still lack adequate coverage.
