Wyoming
WY2 / 10AdoptionWyoming has the lowest EV adoption in the continental US. No state rebate, no ZEV mandate, and an economy built around fossil fuels. NEVI investments reached full build-out on I-80, I-25, and I-90 in 2025, closing the state's worst charging gaps. Jackson Hole and Yellowstone access are the primary EV tourism use cases.

Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- Status
- full retail
- Summary
- Wyoming requires investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives to credit net metering customers with systems up to 25 kW at the full retail rate. Rocky Mountain Power and Black Hills Energy use a kWh credit system with annual true-up at avoided cost for any unused balance. The 25 kW cap applies across customer classes, which limits the program for larger commercial installations.

Public charging network
Tesla Supercharger and ChargePoint have minimal presence in Cheyenne, Casper, and Jackson. I-80 (the primary east-west US highway) historically had significant charging gaps through Wyoming, one of the most cited EV range challenges on cross-country travel. WYDOT's NEVI-funded build-out along I-80, I-25, and I-90 was certified fully built out in 2025, the third state to reach that status, closing the worst of the corridor gaps.
| Network | Stations |
|---|---|
| Tesla (incl. Destination) | 28 |
| Electrify America | 6 |
| EVgo | 7 |
| ChargePoint | 34 |
| Other networks | 45 |
| DC fast ports | 167 |
| Level 2 public ports | 164 |
