The Unserved States

Several states have alarmingly few EV charger installer options:

Alaska: 1 installer entry
North Dakota: 3 installer entries
Wyoming: 10 installer entries
New Mexico: 12 installer entries
District of Columbia: 12 installer entries
Rhode Island: 14 installer entries
Kentucky: 61 installer entries
Mississippi: 44 installer entries
Alabama: 41 installer entries

These states represent the biggest opportunity for new EV charger installation businesses. Demand is growing, but supply of qualified installers hasn't caught up.

Why Density Matters

Higher installer density correlates with:

Lower prices: More competition means 15-25% lower installation costs
Faster service: Dense states average 1-2 week lead times vs 4-6 weeks in thin states
Higher quality: More options means homeowners can be more selective
Innovation: Competitive markets drive better service offerings
