EV Tourism in Northeast Iowa

An opportunity for Rural Iowa to get on the Map

I was recently asked, what did you learn upon completing an EV Tourism Study for Northeast Iowa? The first word that came to my mind was, opportunity. An opportunity for Northeast Iowa to claim itself as an EV-friendly vacation destination. It seems that many communities and regions have yet to connect to the electric vehicle market especially in the Midwest. With Northeast Iowa’s strong history of tourism travel, already seen as a destination by many, remaining accessible to all drivers will provide a large economic benefit to the region. With the expected growth of EV sales, a larger percentage of vehicles on the road will be EVs, meaning these users will be seeking out places that have the resources they require to travel. Building EV charging infrastructure in our communities provides an opportunity to market the region as an EV-friendly destination to attract these drivers as they research and plan out routes for their trips.
