Electric living isn’t a trend — it’s a transformation.

From Houston’s downtown towers to The Woodlands’ master-planned suburbs, today’s homebuyers are beginning to ask new questions:

  • Can I charge at home without a retrofit?
  • Are there public chargers nearby?
  • Will this area still make sense when most vehicles go electric?


The EV Home Buyers Guide explains what an EV-ready neighborhood looks like, how the EV Radius Score helps quantify charging access, and how to evaluate a property for the electric future.

🧭 Why “Electric Future” Matters Now

1. Your home is becoming a power hub

New homes are being built with 240-volt wiring, solar conduits, and battery storage options — making the garage part of the energy grid.

2. Access is the new location

Five minutes to a fast-charging corridor can be as valuable as five minutes to the freeway. Location, location, location now means access, access, access.

3. Buyers are voting with demand

For the next generation, EV-ready isn’t luxury — it’s logic. Electricity costs less per mile, and buyers recognize that convenience is the new curb appeal.

⚙️ How the EV Radius Score™ Works

A data-driven index based on verified U.S. Department of Energy AFDC station data. It measures four factors around a property within 1, 3, 5, and 10 miles:

Factor What It Measures Weight
Coverage Number of public stations nearby 30 pts
Diversity Variety of networks & operators 20 pts
Connector Mix NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO, J1772 availability 25 pts
Convenience Average distance to nearest station 25 pts
Grades: A+ to F 100 points possible. Higher scores reflect denser, more diverse charging coverage.

💡 What It Means for Your Wallet

Retrofit savings: Homes pre-wired for 240 V can avoid approximately $2 k – $4 k in retrofit costs.


Energy economics: Home charging can cost up to 70 % less per mile than gasoline.


Resilience: Solar + storage + V2H systems provide backup power during outages.


Combine your home’s electrical readiness with its EV Radius Score™ to see total lifestyle fit and long-term value.
