IKEA Leads U.S. Retailers in EV Charging Availability, Study Finds

A new Consumer Reports study reveals that IKEA is the only retailer with nearly 100% of its U.S. stores offering electric vehicle charging stations.

Only 1% of 270,000 surveyed retail locations across the U.S. have EV charging stations, according to Consumer Reports.
IKEA stands out as the sole retailer providing EV charging at almost all of its 54 U.S. locations, far surpassing other major retailers.
The study indicates a significant opportunity for retailers to attract customers and boost profits by installing EV chargers.
Federal incentives and potential increases in foot traffic and revenue could offset the installation costs of EV chargers.
Consumer Reports emphasizes the role of retailers in addressing the U.S. charging infrastructure challenge to support wider EV adoption.
