FL leads EV sales but charging gaps risk growth

In this mention

Florida leads the Southeast in electric vehicle sales with over 500,000 vehicles sold, but a new report from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Atlas Public Policy warns that fast-charging infrastructure gaps and policy uncertainty threaten to stall industry growth. Stan Cross, SACE's electric transportation director, highlights that Florida has only 7.9 fast-charging plugs per 1,000 EVs—below the regional average—and the state lost $44 million in federal funding for chargers. Despite these challenges, Cross emphasizes strong consumer satisfaction and market resilience, with 96% of current EV drivers planning to purchase another electric vehicle.
