There are more than 2.5 times as many publicly available electric vehicle chargers today as there were three years ago, slightly outpacing the growth of EVs on the roads during that time.

But the rollout has been far from even, reports Route Fifty.

Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington, Colorado, Maryland, Ohio, and Michigan rounded out the top 10, according to industry data from HERE Technologies, a location data platform, using its ChargePoint API.

The top 10 states accounted for more than half of the new chargers installed in the last three years. Read the rest of the article, including which states bring up the rear.
