Frisco, TX (75033–75036, 75068, 75078) leads EV growth with smart planning, public-private partnerships, and ABR Electric powering installations across homes and businesses.
McKinney, Texas, United States, 18th Apr 2025 – As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates across North Texas, the City of Frisco is at the forefront of infrastructure innovation—partnering with forward-thinking organizations like ABR Electric to build a resilient, accessible charging network. With over 18,025 EVs registered in Collin County as of April 2023 and a 63% surge in regional registrations reported by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), Frisco is demonstrating what strategic leadership looks like in the EV era.
A Regional Leader in EV Charging Infrastructure
Frisco, one of Texas’ fastest-growing cities and a beacon of sustainability, is rapidly expanding its EV charging footprint. From retail giants like IKEA USA to destination hubs like Frisco Square and the Star District, public access to Level 2 charging stations is becoming a community standard. Collin County now boasts 129 public charging stations, and Frisco’s contributions are vital in serving both its 210,000 residents and the millions who visit annually.
ABR Electric, a trusted North Texas electrical contractor, is helping homeowners and businesses alike adapt to this shift—installing high-performance EV chargers. “The future of transportation runs on electricity, and we’re proud to be part of that transformation here in Frisco,” said James Adams, Master Electrician and Owner of ABR Electric. “We’ve seen firsthand how demand has skyrocketed, and we’re committed to making at-home and commercial charging both reliable and accessible.”
Funding, Equity, and Smart Partnerships
Frisco’s leadership includes strategically leveraging state and federal investments—such as the $15 million federal EV funding allocation in 2024—to address infrastructure gaps in underserved communities. The city is prioritizing apartment complexes, multifamily units, and neighborhoods with limited access to charging, aiming to install 20 new public chargers by 2027 as part of a broader commitment to equitable transportation access.
Through its local Air Quality Funding program, Frisco also continues to offer incentives for businesses to install EV chargers at commercial properties, encouraging adoption where residents shop, dine, and work. These efforts not only support cleaner air and modern mobility but also align with the statewide vision to place fast-charging stations every 50 miles along Texas highways, ensuring seamless travel for EV drivers across the region.
Community-First Clean Energy Vision
Frisco’s charging strategy goes beyond infrastructure—it includes a strong focus on public education and community engagement. The city regularly organizes outreach initiatives to raise awareness about electric vehicles, sustainable transportation, and clean energy benefits.
One major highlight is the city’s participation in national campaigns such as Drive Electric Week, which draws hundreds of residents each year. These events feature interactive experiences like EV test drives, expert panels, and informational booths where attendees can learn about available tax credits, state rebates, and local incentive programs. By showcasing a wide range of electric vehicle models and offering real-time Q&A opportunities, these gatherings help demystify EV ownership and inspire adoption across all demographics.
This ongoing education initiative plays a critical role in creating a well-informed, EV-ready community—ensuring Frisco remains not only a leader in infrastructure but also in public understanding and support for clean transportation.
Texas-Wide Goals, Frisco-Led Momentum
With an 8% population increase in just one year, Frisco’s EV Chargers initiatives echo state and national goals to roll out 500,000 chargers nationwide by 2030. Backed by Texas’ $408 million EV infrastructure investment, the city is setting a high bar for innovation, equity, and climate-conscious growth.
Frisco’s approach—blending public investment, private partnerships, and local expertise from providers like ABR Electric—is becoming a model for cities nationwide. As EVs become the norm, Frisco proves that charging should be convenient, reliable, and available to all.
