How Many Charging Stations Will Be Needed In 2030? A National Laboratory Figured It Out.
PublishedInfrastructure is one of the biggest challenges for EVs right now. The cost of buying an EV is pretty close to what the average sales price is for an ICE vehicle , and the used market is shaping up to provide electric cars at nearly all income levels. There will be challenges to increasing production to serve more of the overall car market with EVs, but the problems are largely known and just need work to conquer them.
Let’s start with some of the report’s key findings. The study determined that to support 33 million EVs by 2030, the United States is going to need approximately: 26 million Level 1 and Level 2 charging ports at privately accessible locations—including single-family homes, multifamily properties, and workplaces.“The great news is that now we have detailed estimates of what infrastructure will be needed,” Wood continued. “American drivers’ interest in electric vehicles is accelerating year over year, and we’re already seeing the market respond with new investments to meet that rising demand.
Fast charging also isn’t just for traveling long distances. There are many people who aren’t going to be able to access reliable home charging, so most of the Level 3 charging is going to need to be used for people to charge away from home on a reasonable timeframe. The remainder of the L3 fast charging needs will be for professional drivers , followed by long-distance driving . So, what we typically think about is only a small part of the effort, but an extremely important one nonetheless.
Page 47 of the report drops a bombshell that gets buried in all of the data: that it’s going to be difficult to make money operating national DC fast charging networks. Why? Because having enough stations to support long-distance drives for 50% EV adoption will still leave many rural stations underutilized even during peak charging times.
