States with low EV adoption rates that could potentially see significant growth include North Dakota, Louisiana, and Mississippi. These states currently have some of the lowest EV adoption rates and EV charging infrastructure, which are critical factors in EV adoption. However, factors such as declining EV costs, improving charging infrastructure, and potential policy changes could help increase adoption in these regions over time.
Factors for Future Growth:
- Economic Factors: As electric vehicles become more affordable, they are likely to become more appealing in lower-income states, which tend to have lower EV adoption rates.
- Charging Infrastructure: Improvements in charging infrastructure could significantly increase confidence in owning EVs. States with low charging port rates might see growth if investments in charging infrastructure rise.
- Policy Incentives: Changes in state or federal policies, such as incentives or mandates, could encourage higher adoption rates in these states.
While specific growth predictions for these states are not detailed, broader trends suggest that as costs decrease and infrastructure improves, more states are likely to see increased adoption. In 2025, J.D. Power forecasts that EV retail share will remain at 9.1%, but growth might come from emerging markets rather than traditionally strong EV states like California.
