3 Key EV Charging Infrastructure Issues that need to be Addressed

Clean Fleet Report

APRIL 1, 2024

EV infrastructure is much less widespread than gas stations—and the number of EV chargers is only part of the problem. Although California has numerous charging options, there are comparatively fewer in parts of North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. Increasing EV ownership rates is one way to do that.
