Financial comparison site Forbes Advisor analyzed data from the U.S Department of Energy as well as all 50 states and Washington D.C. to establish how many electric charging stations there are in each state, per million people.  

The study found that Vermont is the easiest place to charge an electric car with 484.84 charging stations per million people across the state – the most of any state in America. This comes as a result of 313 total charging stations in the state and a population of 645.570.   

The hardest state in America to drive an electric vehicle is Louisiana. Louisiana has only 30.49 electric charging stations per million due to a population count of 4.6 million and only 141 charging stations across the state.  

Commenting on the study, a spokesperson from Forbes Advisor said: “The electric car industry is growing at a rapid pace for numerous reasons, including rising gas prices, as well as electric vehicles being an eco-friendlier mode of transport. However, these findings offer a fascinating insight into the disparity between states when it comes to accessibility for drivers of electric vehicles.”
