Illinois is the fifth market in The Juice Index’s national expansion, starting with Chicago. The rest of the state isn’t covered yet.
Illinois runs a DC-fast-heavy mix for an expansion state — 2,671 fast ports against 3,116 Level 2 ports, the closest ratio to our core Pacific Northwest states of any market in this batch. Chicago itself has 341 stations per the NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center. Illinois is also the only Midwest state in our initial expansion list, and its winter driving conditions are a genuine parallel to the cold-weather planning content we’ve already built for Washington and Montana.
See the Chicago city guide for current coverage. The rest of Illinois will build out the same way the rest of our expansion states will: real station data first, editorial depth after.
