In the last six months, more than five percent of all new car sales in the United States have been electric vehicles (EVs). If the United States follows the pattern of other countries, five percent is the tipping point where mass adoption of electric cars occurs, and we start to see the stress on the charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n
More EVs are indeed coming. Just look around the country at some of the significant investments that automakers are making. EVs are making an increasing proportion of automakers’ lineups, with most of the major auto manufacturers committing to go fully electric in the next 15 years, such as Volkswagen, Audi, and Land Rover\/Jaguar. Using some basic math comparing the rate of EV adoption against the speed of EV charging infrastructure growth, we find that demand outstripping the supply of charging in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n
This tipping point could become a tidal wave in a few short years. To meet the demand of this EV wave, we have much work to be done.<\/p>\n
