A map of public chargers is located online, along with data about electric vehicle registrations by county. Marion County currently has 2,977 vehicles registered, and Polk County has 893.

The state park chargers are the result of a public-private partnership with Rivian, Adopt A Charger and Entec Polymers. Chargers are compatible with any electric vehicle.
