Abstract
To equitably decarbonize transportation, we must address barriers to EV adoption among disadvantaged populations. One critical obstacle is a lack of home charging. People living in multifamily and older homes and renters face unique barriers to installing chargers, although little is known about their rate of EV adoption. We evaluate the relationships between EV adoption, housing characteristics and home chargers in Burlington. Our results indicate that charger installation costs are higher in rental homes. Increasing a home’s overall electrical capacity is the most expensive type of upgrade. Properties that are single-family, high-value, and high-quality show higher odds of EV ownership.
