Shocking News: Only 4 States Have Enough EV Chargers—Is Yours One of Them?

Daniel Kim Views  

A new report from EVgo, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging company in the U.S., reveals a troubling shortage of adequate charging stations nationwide.

According to a study by SBD Automotive, an automotive research and consulting firm, the current infrastructure fails to meet EV drivers’ needs. The study analyzed various factors, including the distance drivers must travel to find a charger, charging speeds, and the number of EVs on the road.

Alarmingly, it found that only four states—Delaware, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Connecticut—currently have charging stations that can adequately accommodate EV drivers. Delaware has improved significantly, climbing from 15th place last year to 1st place in 2024 by increasing its high-output DC fast charging stations.

In contrast, several states have seen a decline in their rankings. Michigan, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Maine all dropped in the standings. Minnesota, Nebraska, Idaho, and Alaska continue to lag at the bottom of the list.

The reliability of charging stations also varies significantly. In Kansas, Massachusetts, Maine, and Nebraska, over 98% of chargers are fully operational. However, more than 15% of chargers in Alaska, Washington D.C., and West Virginia were found to be out of service. Hawaii reported a staggering 21.8% of its chargers as non-functional.
