It's getting easier for Pennsylvania electric vehicle owners to find charging stations.
Why it matters: EVs and charging have been a chicken-and-egg-problem.
By the numbers: Pennsylvania has nearly 2,100 public charging stations with more than 5,200 plugs, per data from the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.
Zoom in: In Philly, EV drivers can access 440 public charging stations within a 15-mile radius of Center City.
The big picture: Spurring a switch from gasoline-powered cars to battery-electric vehicles was a key part of former President Biden's climate agenda.
What's next: The Philly area is on track to get 100 new charging stations after receiving an $11 million federal grant this month.
