Here’s the short version up front: public chargers are expanding fast in Bellingham and around the U.S., and reliability is slowly improving—enough that, for most households who can charge at home, owning an EV is easier than it was even a year ago. But public charging still shapes perceptions (especially for apartment dwellers and road-trippers), and states are actively rethinking how to fund roads as gas-tax revenue erodes (EV fees, “pay-per-mile” pilots).
