Tulsa, state improving in electric vehicle chargers, study says

The Tulsa metro area ranks No. 68 out of 210 metro areas for electric vehicle friendliness, and its EV friendliness improved by 14.0% in 2023, according to an iSeeCars study.

Oklahoma ranks No. 28 in the U.S. for EV friendliness, and its EV friendliness improved by 10.7% in 2023.

Electric vehicle infrastructure in the U.S. grew by 23.9% in the past 12 months, according to the study, which identifies the most and least EV-friendly cities and states.

The study analyzed how many chargers are available per resident to determine the cities and states with the best and worst electric vehicle charging access.

The Tulsa metro area has 543 chargers, or 1 EV charger for every 2,239 residents.

Oklahoma has 1,398 chargers, or 1 charger for every 2,900 residents.

“When ranked by the ratio of residents to EV chargers, California remains the best state for driving an electric vehicle, with five of the top 10 most EV-friendly cities located within its borders,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “Southeast and Midwest cities are among the least-friendly EV metro areas.”

The San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, California metro was ranked the highest for EV friendliness; Milwaukee was ranked the lowest.
