Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs - in this paper defined as pure battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles) are viewed as an essential part of the strategy to decrease our carbon footprint and lower our impact on climate change. Their adoption is increasing; however, significant barriers remain. Range anxiety is most often cited as a reason for EV's lack of penetration in the market. This paper examines whether increasing the number of EV charging outlets to mitigate this concern would have a positive effect on EV adoption. Panel data is used from 50 states plus the District of Columbia to analyze the market share of EV sales annually from 2011 to 2017. According to a fixed-effect statistical modeling technique, the number of outlets is not statistically significant suggesting that money and resources could be better spent on other incentives to encourage EV usage.
