Why are electric vehicle sales lagging in Texas?
Electric vehicle sales are rising in Texas, like they are everywhere. But convincing Texans to go electric carries particular difficulty, car dealers and advocates say, mostly because many electric vehicles can’t travel more than 200 miles without a charge and many Texans consider driving a few hundred miles in a day a regular part of life.
So-called range anxiety is a problem for electric vehicle manufacturers all over the world. Electric charging stations are few and far between and commonly take up to an hour to fully charge a vehicle — a difficult hurdle for motorists used to filling up their gasoline tanks in a manner of minutes. “The No. 1 concern I hear is about range,” he said. “Texas is such a big state, and people are concerned they can’t get from one side of the state to the other.”plans to build fast charging stations every 50 to 70 miles along Texas interstates
The hope among advocates is that investment will spur the construction of many more chargers, which along with better batteries that last longer and charge faster, will create a surge of new EV buyers.
