New Census data reveal a homeowner-renter divide in America's electric-car transition

New Census data from 2025 highlight a significant divide in America's transition to electric vehicles, with homeowners nearly twice as likely to own an EV compared to renters. This disparity stems from the convenience of private charging access, which homeowners typically enjoy through driveways or garages, while renters often lack this luxury. The implications are substantial, as reliable charging infrastructure is essential for broader EV adoption, potentially leaving renters at a disadvantage in the electric vehicle market.
