Homes with electric vehicle chargers could soon hold greater resale value than those without, Realtor.com chief economist Danielle Hale says.
Why it matters: Access to at-home EV charging is a rare and increasingly desirable amenity.
Between the lines: Home chargers are often more convenient than public ones, and faster than charging cables that come with most EVs.
What they're saying: "I don't want to worry about getting to a charging station and waiting," says Chicago-area homeowner Jeanne Gallo, who received a federal tax credit to install a charger in her garage.
Reality check: You've got time to install that charger. EV adoption hasn't been swift, Axios' Joann Muller reports.
State of play: A small but growing share (0.9%) of U.S. homes listed on Realtor.com in 2023 were described as EV-friendly, up from 0.1% five years earlier, according to the company's and Cox Automotive's report.
- Areas with higher EV ownership rates saw higher shares.
Note: Cox Automotive's parent company, Cox Enterprises, also owns Axios.
