DALLAS (KDAF) — Texas is among the least-favorable states for electric vehicle owners in the United States, according to a study that analyzed EV infrastructure, safety factors, road conditions and traffic.
Electricity experts Texas Electricity Ratings analyzed the most recent data from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Census Bureau, National Highway Traffic Administration, Federal Highway Administration and the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer to assess the landscape for electric vehicle ownership across the United States.
A total of 13 factors were analyzed for each state, including but not limited to: the number of EV charging stations and charging units (2025, per 100,000 people), the number of registered electric cars (2023), the percentage of roads in acceptable condition (2023), and the average commute time for drivers (2023).
