      Phoenix's Electric Vehicle Progress

      The City of Phoenix is committed to advancing electric vehicle (EV) adoption and infrastructure to support a cleaner, more sustainable future. This page provides key data on EV registrations, the City's transition to an electric fleet, and the growth of EV charging stations. Learn about Phoenix's goals, current progress, and future plans as we work toward expanding EV accessibility and reducing transportation-related emissions. 

      EV Registrations

      Electric vehicle (EV) registrations are on the rise. In 2022, Arizona ranked #9 among U.S. states for plug-in electric vehicles, with 9.86 EVs per 1,000 people. 

      Data sources: PEV registration data from Experian Automotive, analyzed by Argonne National Laboratory (accessed December 9, 2022), and U.S. Census Bureau population estimates (December 2022).

      Forecasted EV Ownership in Phoenix by 2030

      The Transportation Electrification Action Plan (TEAP) sets a goal of supporting 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. The table below outlines a 30% compounded annual growth rate, forecasting the number of EVs in Phoenix through 2030.

      City of Phoenix – EV Fleet Transition

      The City of Phoenix is leading by example by transitioning light-duty fleet vehicles, as well as some solid waste trucks and buses in the heavy-duty fleet, to electric. The TEAP aims to transition 200 fleet vehicles to EVs by 2030. The table below provides details on the current EVs in the fleet and those on order.

The City of Phoenix currently operates 68 electric vehicles across eight departments, supporting its commitment to sustainable transportation.

      EV Charging Stations

      The number of EV charging stations in the U.S. has steadily increased since 2011. Between 2015 and 2020, the number of charging ports more than doubled, and in 2021 alone, there was a 55% increase.
