Streaming service subscriptionsUS public EV charging stations
American public EV charging stations and global streaming subscriptions, both climbing. The car is being charged. The show is being streamed. The same household is, statistically, doing both within five minutes of each other.
Streaming service subscriptions ballooned from a few million Netflix households in 2010 to over a billion subscriptions worldwide by 2022. 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. Two completely unrelated infrastructure-and-platform lines sharing a window because the same twelve years scaled both global digital-content distribution and a domestic charging network. Different power, same era.
Two infrastructures arrived together. The cord-cutter household and the EV-charging household, often the same.
