US public EV charging stationsOscar ceremony US viewership
American EV charging stations multiplying as Oscar viewership declines. Two completely unrelated American industries on opposite sides of the regression line: one infrastructure rollout, one broadcast institution slipping in viewership as audiences fragment.
US public EV charging stations grew from about 3,000 in 2010 to over 60,000 by 2022 as federal infrastructure spending and EV adoption expanded the network. Oscar ceremony US viewership declined from about 41 million in 2010 to roughly 19 million by 2022 as broadcast TV fragmented and streaming redistributed attention. Two completely unrelated lines on opposite trajectories sharing a window because the same twelve years scaled one charging network and emptied one broadcast tradition.
One infrastructure expanded. One ceremony lost viewers. The decade was generous to charging and frugal with attention.
