GA leads nation in EV manufacturing but faces disconnect on chargers
In this mention
Georgia leads the nation in EV manufacturing investment with over $27 billion secured, but a new Southern Alliance for Clean Energy report reveals a critical gap: the state lags in EV charging infrastructure and consumer adoption. SACE's Stan Cross highlights the disconnect between attracting manufacturing and creating conditions for residents to actually own and charge EVs, noting Georgia's EV sales lag the national average at 8.2%.
A lot of work has been done to attract business to the state, but not a lot of work has been done to set conditions that make it easy for Georgians to own EVs and have the charging infrastructure deployed that they need.
