EV charging analysis

The station count suggests that most residents can access a charger within a short drive, though it is not yet dense enough to guarantee on-street availability for all. However, the cold climate reduces battery efficiency by roughly 20-30% in winter, meaning drivers may need to charge more frequently than in milder regions. With no estimated EV count available, it is unclear how many residents currently rely on this infrastructure, but the station-to-population ratio of one per 2,525 people is modest compared to leading EV cities. For daily commuting, the current network likely supports early adopters well, but expansion will be necessary as adoption grows.
