I recently published a new article on Medium exploring the rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States and what’s driving that shift.

Starting with the basics, this articles dives into registration statistics and sales trends throughout the years. It shows how states like California, Florida, and Texas dominate in those areas while more rural states like Wyoming and Iowa are still in the beginning stages of adoption. The imbalance shows a central insight that access and policy shape the EV story as much as consumer demand.

This narrative isn’t just about the uneven nature of the start of adoption. Using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the article shows that EV sales surged after 2010 leading to over 3 million vehicles sold in 2024. The story also speaks about infrastructure, exploring how charging station density and costs are creating both opportunities and challenges in the push toward more electric vehicles.

In short, my article blends together registration, sales, infrastructure, and policy data into a clear and accessible snapshot of where we stand, and where we’re headed, on the road to EV adoption.
