Georgia currently has the most extensive public charging network in the Southeast, leading the region in both total coverage and per capita access. The state ranks highest in public charging ports per 1,000 residents and in EV registrations per 1,000 vehicles. However, this rapid expansion has not been fully comprehensive, making data-driven insights and forecasting tools essential for guiding future planning and equitable growth.
GNEM’s flagship report series, Georgia’s Charging Infrastructure Roadmap provides a comprehensive, data-driven view of the state’s public charging network and its evolution within the broader Southeast mobility ecosystem. By giving a clear understanding of today’s and tomorrow’s trends and needs, it charts a forward-looking path for continued economic development and momentum.
Part 1 introduces the concepts of usability and usable coverage.
Usability describes the driver experience and how easily, reliably, and safely a driver can find, access, and complete a charging session.
Usable coverage extends that idea to the network level, representing how much of today’s public charging infrastructure consistently delivers that same high-quality experience. Together, these measures define how access, reliability, and driver experience shape real-world market performance and confidence.
Part 2 builds on these findings by modeling the geographic and market-based gaps identified in Part 1. It analyzes existing trends driving charging infrastructure growth, as well as, where and how charging infrastructure must evolve to meet future energy demand, travel behavior, and adoption trends across Georgia and beyond.
Part 3 expands the framework further by connecting a high-performing public charging network to its broader economic potential, including grid resilience, workforce development, and the growth of Georgia’s advanced automotive and battery manufacturing economy.
