iSeeCars ranks Louisville as least EV-friendly large US metro, San Francisco as most
iSeeCars data shows San Francisco averages 334 residents per charger, the best of the 50 largest US metro areas, while Louisville, Kentucky averages 2,904 residents per charger, the worst. Los Angeles has the most chargers at 36,318 and Louisville the fewest at 621, using Level 2 and DC fast-charging ports from the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. iSeeCars says network growth has slowed considerably but projects more than 40,000 new chargers by the end of 2026, taking the national total to about 299,800.
Why it matters
The gap between metros in residents per charger points to where public charging coverage is thinnest, which is useful when screening markets for site selection and bid targeting. Louisville's position at the bottom suggests demand for new capacity in under-served mid-sized metros, even as national rollout slows.
