For the first time ever, the U.S. Census Bureau asked Americans about electric vehicles, and the answer is in: about 7.3 million households, or 5.5% of the 134 million nationwide, had at least one all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2025.
The number that stands out to us is the gap. 6.4% of homeowner households had an EV, compared with just 3.6% of renter households. California led all states at 13.8%.
Our take: that gap is largely a charging-access gap. Homeowners can add a charger in the garage. Renters depend on their landlord, their employer, or a public lot. Apartment owners, property managers and employers who add reliable charging now are getting ahead of demand, and it starts with a load study, the right service size, and early coordination with the utility.
