EV charging analysis

Chicago’s normal climate does not significantly degrade battery range, allowing for consistent daily driving performance year-round. However, the absence of an estimated EV count makes it difficult to assess current demand versus supply. For a city of this size, the infrastructure appears nascent, potentially constraining adoption until station density increases and more routes are established to support both local and regional mobility needs.
