Access to Public Near-Home Charging Among Electric Vehicles Without Home Charging

This California Energy Commission report assesses access to home and near-home charging for electric vehicle owners across California, with a particular focus on renters and residents of multifamily housing. Using vehicle registration, housing, and charging data, the report identifies significant disparities in access to home charging and examines how nearby public charging can help fill those gaps. The findings reinforce the importance of expanding home charging opportunities in multifamily housing to support equitable EV adoption while reducing reliance on more expensive public charging.
