Fueling with Electricity Presents Intractable Equity Challenges

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:55:57 GMT

The urgent global effort to defeat climate change cannot succeed without practical alternatives to gasoline, but today’s electric vehicles have rigid charging limitations that make it challenging to distribute electric fuel in an equitable way. Level 2 home chargers provide the most convenient, least expensive way to charge an EV, but many motorists have living situations that preclude regular access to a home charger. If they were to purchase an EV, they would be forced to rely on public chargers for all of their electric fuel. Inequitable access to home charging is a fundamental barrier to universal EV adoption that cannot be fully remedied by increasing the availability of public chargers.If you have no way to reap the benefits of a home charger, fueling an EV imposes significant burdens that homeowners are able to avoid. Roughly 80% of EV charging is currently carried out at home. A standard240-volt, Level 2 home charger delivers fuel to the EV at a slow, steady pace while the E...
