Michigan has increased its number of public fast-charging stations to over 560 and nearly 1,700 Level 2 charging stations statewide, according to a report by the Anderson Economic Group.
Charging Access Remains Uneven
Despite the growth, researchers say charging access remains uneven, with about one-third of Michigan residents living within a 10-minute drive of a fast charger, compared to over 90% living within that distance of a gas station.
Cristina Benton, director of market and industry analysis at Anderson Economic Group, noted that the difference remains a major consideration for drivers deciding whether to switch to electric vehicles.
Industry experts say expanding charging availability will be important as more consumers consider electric vehicles and automakers continue increasing the number of EV models available.
