Cowboy logic: Why Wyoming Leads in EV Chargers per car — But Not in Access

Wyoming may top the U.S. in EV charging availability per vehicle, but it’s far from the easiest place to own an electric vehicle. Doug McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis, explains two methods of assessing EV charging infrastructure: total chargers and chargers per hundred vehicles. California leads in overall charging stations due to its large population and high EV-adoption rate, whereas Wyoming ranks highest in charging stations per vehicle vehicles, boasting 22 chargers per 100 vehicles. However, Wyoming’s vast, sparsely populated landscape makes these chargers harder to access.
