Recent data reveals that 20% of drivers have been unable to charge at public locations, indicating worsening conditions for EV charging infrastructure. J.D. Power highlights charging availability as a critical barrier to EV adoption, compounded by geopolitical uncertainties and potential reductions in federal funding, which may stall EV market growth. Despite these challenges, there are cautious signs of hope, according to experts. Improving public perception and investments could still foster a more favorable environment for electric vehicles moving forward.
"Public charging availability has been consistently the top rejection reason for EVs for years now; we measure that monthly," Gruber said.
"Things may look bad on the surface—but there’s still a glimmer of hope.”
"Without NEVI funding to build more chargers, there could be a cooling of EV demand."
"The perception of bad charging infrastructure is one of the biggest roadblocks to wider EV adoption."
