The progressing expansion of the electric vehicle market and huge expectations about future growth have prompted massive EV-related investments in the U.S. Aside from new EV factories and a small tsunami of EV battery factories, there is also a significant wave of new EV charging equipment factories coming right now, an analysis of Department of Energy data shows.
We can see a visualization of the investments thanks to the DOE's Building America's Clean Energy Future website, which generates interesting maps: Announced American-Made EV Charger Investments as of September 2023 The report says that these investments will create more than 3,000 new jobs. As we understand, that's only for the manufacturing sites, while many more new jobs will be created to install and maintain the equipment.
