Around this time last year there were only 460 EVs registered in Wyoming: https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/news/charging-forwa...

Most EVs in the state are visitors and the highways are going to be electrified anyway. This is going to do nothing to save the oil and gas industry.

Oh, that's interesting. Rather a chicken and egg situation then.

"The median ratio across the US is 14.2 EVs to ports, with Wyoming having the best (lowest) ratio at 4.2 to 1 and New Jersey had the worst (highest) at 41.7 to 1."

Would be nice to factor in population, too.

Gotta keep in mind though that Wyoming has a population of about 600,000 people, or roughly the population of the city of Milwaukee--for those unfamiliar, that's not an especially big city either.
