Electric vehicle use statewide has more than doubled since 2020, with 8,594 of them registered in Maine as of October. Of those, only about 99 vehicles belong to people living in Aroostook County. But a big part of Aroostook’s problem with electric vehicles is its meager supply of public charging stations and its lack of fast chargers. While Maine has 389 in total, across The County’s wide expanse, larger than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, there are only 10 charging stations and 17 individual plug-ins.
