Indeed, the Alamo City ranked as the fifth-worst metro for EV infrastructure, having just one EV charger per every 3,775 residents. In contrast, the San Francisco area, one of the nation's best spots for EV owners, has a charger for every 412 residents.
iSeeCars compiled its data by analyzing the number of Level 2 and Level 3/DC Fast Chargers in large U.S. metro areas, a statistic published annually by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center. For reference, Level 3 chargers are faster than Level 2 chargers, allowing EV owners to juice up their cars in far less time.
Between 2022 and 2023, the number of Level 2 and Level 3 chargers in the San Antonio area grew 31.6% — the fifth-highest rate of improvement of any U.S. metro.
