In 2015, there were more than 1,100 electric vehicles registered in the state of Utah. That number, according to data from the State Tax Commission website, jumped to more than 16,000 in 2022.
"I started driving electric in 2019," said Goupil."I wanted to drive something that had zero tailpipe emissions just knowing how bad our air quality is here.""What we're seeing here is level two charging, which people typically tend to use to sort of top off their tank and you would get about 5 to 10 miles of range for an hour of charging," said Goupil.The city said they have 20 free public charging stations.
Sophia Nicholas, the deputy director of the Salt Lake City Sustainability Department, said this is one way to make future multifamily construction EV-ready, by providing a minimum of 20% EV-Ready parking spaces installed on-site. The Salt Lake City Sustainability Department provided FOX 13 News with numbers on Monday, showing the number of registered electric vehicles in Salt Lake County jumped from 624 in 2015 to more than 11,000 in 2023.
Nicholas said the department is leading a community electric transportation assessment that got going last month.
