More than 110,000 PEVs are on the road in the United States, and the number of PEVs worldwide is rapidly growing. In parallel the U.S. is reaching the end of a large-scale PEV infrastructure investment. As this round of federal funding ends and these vehicles continue to sell, planning on the national scale will begin. It is important for key stakeholders to understand the number and relative location of PEV infrastructure. The results described here provide an estimate of the number of charging locations needed to support a national network or regional infrastructure, and can be used as a metric for approximate locations. For national planning this focuses on building a charging network based on two main analyses: the first concentrates on roadways and traffic and the second focuses on cities and towns. The results of this analysis do not assume exact number or perfect location of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), but instead give an approximation based on size and scale.
