Electrification progresses at various rates depending on the region and it will lead to an interesting disproportion of electric vehicle deployment in the U.S. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's study, highlighted by the DOE's Vehicle Technologies Office, the majority of the EV fleet will be located in suburban areas. The study says about 60% out of the projected 33 million vehicles by 2030 will be in suburban areas. That's almost 20 million EVs.
On the other hand, in urban areas—where the zero-emission feature is very important—potential customers usually do not have a home charging point and their mileage might be lower, which means that the higher price of an EV isn't offset by lower energy/fuel cost. The study also indicates that in urban areas, 40% of EV electricity needs will fall on public DC fast chargers , compared to just 20% in suburban areas and 10% in rural areas.
