Summary
Texas EV registrations have surged past 457,000, tripling in just a few years, but the real bottleneck? Charging stations. With 1,500 new EVs hitting roads weekly, demand outpaces infrastructure—especially outside cities. Sales dipped early in 2026 due to fading incentives, pushing buyers toward used EVs as prices drop. Drivers love fast chargers in places like Houston, but often face empty stations on the road. Texas plans to add 300 new chargers in 2026, backed by federal funds, while also training a new workforce. Though the U.S. lags behind global leaders, the electric future is accelerating—chaotic, complex, but unstoppable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
