US public EV charging stationsUK average pint of lager price
American EV chargers multiplying as the British pint gets more expensive. Two completely unrelated 2010s and 2020s economic trends on the same upward path. The lager drinker is not, statistically, charging the EV. Yet here we are.
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. The British pint climbed in price across the same span thanks to a separate cocktail of Brexit-era input costs, the 2022 energy crisis, and incremental beer-duty rises. Two completely unrelated lines sharing a window because the same twelve years inflated both an American infrastructure rollout and a British input-cost stack. Different economies, same calendar.
Two completely independent economies grew their own bills. The charger and the pint, both up.
