The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates the country will need 28 million charging ports by 2030 to refuel the 33 million light-duty electrics that could be on the road by then.
The United States will need vastly more electric vehicle chargers to support the transition to zero-emissions driving.
1 million chargers will need to be publicly accessibly Level 2 chargers located hear homes and workplaces In April, the Biden administration laid out a bold plan to accelerate EV adoption. Under new Environmental Protection Agency rules, two-thirds of all new passenger vehicle sales need to be electric by 2032. EVs are projected to account for about 8% of total new-vehicle sales this year, according to Cox Automotive. Today they make up about 1% of the 284 million vehicles in operation on U.S. roads.
Their analysis found that most EV buyers before living with their new vehicles want charging that is as fast as possible, but after purchasing their vehicles, they prefer home charging because of its lower cost and convenience. Almost 95% of EV drivers recharge their vehicles at home, according to a new EV owners survey from Plug in America released last month.
A Level 1 charger operates with a standard 120-volt outlet and is capable of adding about five miles of range per hour. A Level 2 charger requires a 240-volt power source and can add up to 35 miles of range per hour. Level 3, or fast charging, can add up to 300 miles of range in an hour.
