Before you purchase an all-electric vehicle, where you live could impact your decision. A study from iSeeCars.com showed the worst cities and states to own an EV, particularly if you can't charge at home — these are the areas with the fewest public chargers across the U.S. The absolute fewest were in Louisville, Kentucky.
