Data Files for “The 2030 National Charging Network: Estimating U.S. Light-Duty Demand for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure"

Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-01-17T20:54:03Z
This data set includes modeling results from “The 2030 National Charging Network: Estimating U.S. Light-Duty Demand for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure” including region-specific [i.e., national, state, and core-based statistical area (CBSA)—cities/towns] electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) port count requirements in 2025 and 2030 for multiple scenarios described in the study. Please cite as: Wood, E., B.

    APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM
  • With the support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office and the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, NREL has applied the <https://www.nrel.gov/transportation/evi-x.html>EVI-X modeling suite to conduct a national EV infrastructure needs assessment. This report considers a 2030 scenario in which 50% of light-duty sales are electric (including plug-in hybrids), resulting in an on-road stock of 33 million vehicles. We consider the needs of vehicles used for typical daily driving, drivers without access to residential charging, corridor charging supporting long-distance travel, and ride-hailing electrification. We find that a cumulative capital investment of $82 billion in public and private charging infrastructure will be necessary in our baseline scenario (approximately 3x greater than our estimate of planned investments to date). This result is framed as a conservative estimate as the assumed costs include charging equipment and installation but exclude the cost of grid upgrades and distributed energy resources.
