Headings: EEI Celebrates 1 Million Electric Vehicles on U.S. Roads

Content: Compared to the prior forecast released in 2017, EV sales are estimated to be 1.4 million in 2025 versus 1.2 million. About 9.6 million charge ports will be required to support 18.7 million EVs in 2030. This represents a significant investment in EV charging infrastructure. Electrifying transportation offers numerous benefits for customers and communities, including increased efficiency, improved sustainability, economic growth, and energy security. Automakers are responding to customer demand and are developing more EV models, including both plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery-powered electric vehicles that are increasingly cost-competitive with internal combustion engines. In addition, customers are purchasing EVs in record numbers, and electric companies are working with stakeholders to move the EV infrastructure market forward. With more than 18 million EVs anticipated to be on the road in the United States in 2030 and with every EV owner expecting to be able to charge his or her car at home, on the street, at the office, at shopping locations, or along major highways, targeted deployment of charging infrastructure and coordinated collaboration among all stakeholders are required. Electric company participation in the development of EV charging infrastructure supports state-level clean energy and transportation goals, expands customer choice, and helps to scale and ensure the availability of needed EV charging infrastructure to support the growing number of EVs on U.S. roads. ​​
