California has approximately one-third of all the nation’s electric vehicle charging stations, the largest number by volume. New York state is second, with 20 percent of the total number, according to a new report. However, when the size of the state is accounted for, Vermont leads with 139.7 EV chargers per 100,000 residents, followed by California (104.7) and Massachusetts (70.7). Louisiana had the lowest number of EV chargers per capita, with just 8.3 chargers per 100,000 residents.
