"USA's 2030 EV Charging Network: Costing Billions, Millions of Chargers Needed"

A recent report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that it will cost the U.S. between $55 billion and $127 billion to supply the necessary charging infrastructure for the expected 33 million EVs on the road by 2030. This includes 182,000 public-facing fast-charging ports, one million Level 2 chargers, and 26.8 million Level 1 and 2 chargers at homes and private offices. With only 148,000 chargers currently installed and the struggle to produce EVs locally and affordably, reaching the idealistic deadline will be an expensive challenge.
