It’s getting easier to find a charger for your electric car in the US. The number of public chargers doubled inthe last four years, driven by a combination of private and public investment. There are more than 207,000 public EV charging ports today — up from around 95,000 when Biden took office.

And those public chargers are only needed for the occasional extended road trip, and urban dwellers without access to charging at home. For the rest the cars charge themselves at night while the owners sleep and are full every morning. It’s one of the greatest conveniences of owning an EV, and one which those who have never owned one don’t really fully appreciate.
