At least 100,000 public and workplace electric vehicle (EV) chargers, costing $2.2bn, will be needed across 100 US municipalities to cope with the 2.6 million new EVs expected by 2025, according to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation. The ICCT report also showed that the cost for public charging infrastructure decreases on a per-vehicle basis as chargers become more utilized and developers shift to more outlets per charging site. The report, released today, says that in order for cities like Los Angeles or New York City to meet their EV targets, they need an additional 500,000 chargers – enough to power about 200,000 cars.
