Rhode Island has the densest EV charging network in the United States, with 1,018 charging ports serving 8,300 registered EVs, or 746 EVs per 100,000 residents, according to a study by Ladah Injury & Car Accident Lawyers Las Vegas. Despite the highest density, the state ranked 24th overall nationally with a total score of 92.17, reflecting moderate EV adoption alongside strong infrastructure readiness. Mississippi, West Virginia and Louisiana led the overall rankings.
Why it matters: The study highlights Rhode Island as a market with infrastructure capacity ahead of demand, signalling potential for CPOs to scale operations as EV adoption grows. The density metric underscores the state's readiness to absorb rapid EV growth, a key consideration for procurement teams evaluating network expansion opportunities.
