Atlanta Among the Most Electric-Vehicle-Friendly Metropolitan Areas in 2023 US

The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta metropolitan area ranks 21st nationally for EV-friendliness, mainly prompted by a strong EV ownership mindset, the overall favorable infrastructure, the growing availability of charging stations in rental buildings and affordable fuel costs.

Moreover, Georgia is the 11th best state for electric car uptake with more than 47,600 registered EVs.

I’ve asked Doug Ressler – a business intelligence manager at Yardi Matrix, a research firm and our sister company – to offer some insights on the main concerns around driving an electric car:

”The electric car movement is gaining momentum, but it isn’t without its challenges. The high price of an EV – although brought down by incentives now – range and charging stations still pose some problems. However, with the expansion of the charging network – including in apartment buildings – and the gradual lowering of the EV price, buying and using an EV can become mainstream in the foreseeable future. […]By 2045, EVs are projected to dominate most of the car market. Moreover, by 2050, EVs could make up about 90% of the car market.”
