In a new corporate-conducted study from a leading auto insurance provider, Idaho ranked as the third-worst state for electric vehicle owners. The company based its research on three factors:
- EV charging port density
- Gas savings
- Government incentives
In Idaho, there are only 14 charging ports for every 100,000 people, and the state only offers three incentives for drivers of electric vehicles, compared to as many as 10 or more incentives in other states.
The three best states to own an EV are Massachusetts, Vermont and California, where drivers can save up to $8,000 by switching to EVs with financial incentives offered by their local governments. You can read the full study at tinyurl.com/wrwstudy.
