Consumers increasingly accept electric vehicles, but not every state offers the infrastructure needed to make the lifestyle switch. Massachusetts outpaces New York and California when it comes to EV access, according to a new study from StorageCafe.

The storage company ranked U.S. states based on factors like EV adoption, EV infrastructure and multi-car ownership capacity based on data from the U.S. Department of Energy and other sources.

Massachusetts placed No. 2 nationally for public charging density at 14 stations per 10,000 households and more than 10,200 public charging locations statewide.

Apartment dwellers have more access to EV charging in Massachusetts than they do in New York or California. Currently, 12.1% of Massachusetts multifamily units offer EV charging, ahead of California’s 11.7% and New York’s 3%.

“Unlike homeowners, renters have no ability to install their own chargers, so they’re entirely dependent on what the building provides,” said Doug Ressler, business intelligence manager at Yardi Matrix. “If it isn’t there, the option simply isn’t available to them.”

Simply offering the option to charge at multifamily developments may advance EV acceptance and access for all.
