When the Trump Administration made a U-turn on federal tax incentives for purchasing electric vehicles (“EVs”), ending the Clean Vehicle Credit last September, consumers rushed to buy EVs while the credit was still available. That drove U.S. EV sales in 2025 to their second-highest mark ever, just behind 2024.
With approximately seven million EVs on the road today, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration projecting that number to increase to between 15 million and 18 million by the end of this year, there will be increased demand for available chargers that EV owners can use while they’re out and about. This presents an opportunity for a new kind of development: EV-focused charging centers that offer a mix of services for EV owners to engage in while their vehicles charge.
