Few announcements have rocked the automotive industry as hard as the one-two punch of General Motors'' notice of intent to exclusively produce electric-powered vehicles by 2035 and the Ford Motor Company''s $30 billion investment in electric vehicle development. The latter has thus far resulted in the release of an all-electric F-150 and Mustang, the automaker''s two top-selling models. Of course, other automakers have taken a dip into the EV pool, among them Chevrolet, Volvo, Porsche, Mazda, and Mercedes Benz, and it would seem that Tesla set a gold standard for the development and marketing of the electric vehicle.
While Elon Musk''s multibillion-dollar Tesla "experiment" has without question forced the auto industry to rethink the public''s appetite for EVs, it''s the anteing up of the big players that has the potential to permanently change the nation''s approach to vehicular travel. Just 30 years ago the industry dismissedelectric vehicle investment as though it were an allowance given to an unruly child so they wouldn''t ask for something more expensive.

- Percentage of registered vehicles that are electric: 0.12%- Total registered electric vehicles: 6,740 (#26 overall)- Number of statewide charging stations: 1,053 (#14 overall)- Number of charging ports per 100 EVs: 32.6 (#11 overall)
On a wider scale, global EV sales reached 6.6 million in 2021, a more than threefold rise over the previous year. This number is impressive in and of itself but becomes staggering when you consider that in 2012 only about 130,000 EVs were sold across the globe. There are now an estimated 16 million EVs on the road, and if sales trends pan out as predicted, that number is going to get a whole lot bigger. When it does, naturally the other side of the equation will be a decrease in gas-powered vehicle sales.
The need for a nationwide network of charging stations to allow cross-country travel has emerged alongside the expansion of electric vehicle ownership. At best, the longest range a current EV (the Lucid Air Dream Edition) can go on a single charge is 520 miles—but it also comes with a $170,000 price tag. The Tesla Model S, one of the most popular EVs on the market, can get 400 miles to a charge, which is no small feat. But without the right kind of charging infrastructure, it still won''t get you from the Rockies to an East Coast vacation spot, to say nothing of making it across a state as expansive as Texas (where, incidentally, the most popular truck is the F-150).
In its December 2021 Action Plan, the Biden-Harris administration outlined its strategy to "put [the country] on the path to a convenient and equitable network of 500,000 chargers and make EVs accessible to all Americans for both local and long-distance trips." This strategy includes a $5 billion investment in the national EV charging network and a further $2.5 billion to be made available through a grant program to ensure states'' ability to support rural charging and charging access in disadvantaged communities.
Read on to see which states have the most and least electric vehicles.
States with the most electric vehicles
#1. California: 1.43% of registered vehicles are electric#2. Hawaii: 0.86% of registered vehicles are electric#3. Washington, D.C.: 0.74% of registered vehicles are electric
States with the fewest electric vehicles
#1. North Dakota: 0.02% of registered vehicles are electric#2. South Dakota: 0.03% of registered vehicles are electric#3. West Virginia: 0.04% of registered vehicles are electric

The "DRIVE Electric USA" (DEUSA) initiative is providing funding and guidance to state partnerships to help them fully build their own statewide "Drive Electric" programs. The purpose of the DEUSA initiative is to break down barriers to accelerating EV education and awareness, engagement, and adoption. We will use our states as great and dissimilar examples of how to successfully build statewide, successful efforts to accelerate the purchase and use of EVs of all sizes by general citizens and fleets.
To fully realize this, project leaders and their partners have been and will continue to educate consumers, utilities, utility regulators, and government officials; engage auto dealers and fleet leaders; conduct corridor and community EV infrastructure planning; and develop local EV chapters. Please visit the "Priority Areas" (PAs) menu to access info about the PAs as well as specific pages related to each PA. All of this is and will occur in each state (or DC) under the banner of a statewide EV initiative, which will be guided by that state''s stakeholders.
Hastening transportation electrification in the USA brings benefits to Americans, including reduced emissions (both greenhouse gas and criteria pollutants), supporting the growth of clean-energy jobs in EV manufacturing and the related Tier 2 and 3 jobs, and developing more equitable transportation solutions for all citizens (not just single-occupancy vehicles – electrified mass transit, bicycles, scooters, ridesharing, and more).
One of our primary charges from the DEUSA1 project was to create a “Replication Playbook” or set of success stories from each of our Priority Areas – or barrier-reduction – efforts. Across our 14 state-centric initiatives, each team created three stories, and then these were compiled by Priority Area (abbreviated as “PA” across the document), which resulted in between 5-7 stories in each PA category of addressing EV adoption barriers.
The introduction provides some project background, a description of what each initiative was tasked with doing over the three years in the project (the specific subtasks of work), and then short briefs on their work and what was learned. The full stories from each initiative include the gist of the what/when/who/where/how/why, photos and graphics related to the work, and then both Outputs & Outcomes and Best Practices & Lessons Learned from the work. Access the entire Replication Playbook below, or delve directly into the subsets of stories from each Priority Area.

Orange EV''s pure-electric terminal trucks are a ''beachhead'' technology – they can help us expand use of pure EVs in HD applications. Orange EV''s commercially deployed fleet has achieved unparalleled milestones – including uptime performance – in terminal truck operations. As of November 2021, the deployed Orange EV fleet has surpassed 1.1 million hours and 3.7 million miles of operation. The T-Series is meeting the most rigorous duty cycles and 24×7 shift schedules in container handling operations across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. Visit their website at
E-MO seeks to advance policies at the state and municipal level that will prepare Missouri''s homes, businesses, and government-owned facilities for an electrified future.
Advancing ordinances and incentives will allow for appropriate electrical infrastructure to support the current and future of electric vehicles (EV) in Missouri. Neighboring states and cities have already moved forward in their efforts to attract EV users as a means to encourage new residents, additional business, and updated technology which is an overall positive impact on the economy. In addition, there is a direct benefit that EV’s provide to our public health.
Missouri consumers are using more plug-in gadgets, electric cars, scooters, and other services that require more and more electricity. The electric vehicle market continues to grow as several automakers introduce mass-market EVs.
With new business partnerships, you will soon see fleets of vehicles converted to EVs. Don''t believe it? Two words, FORD and AMAZON. We believe Missouri should think like Ford and Amazon and prepare now for the future. Whether it’s a commercial development, municipal parking lot, or a rest stop along the highway, infrastructure for EV charging stations should become part of any construction plan. These hookups are far cheaper to install during construction than afterward. These efforts will exemplify why Missouri really is the “Show-Me State.”
