Hosam Al-Baderi Calls for Broader EV Infrastructure and Education in Utah

Utah, US, 13th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, CEO of Amari Motors Advocates for Community-Driven Support of Electric Vehicle Expansion Across the State

Hosam Al-Baderi, CEO of Amari Motors and Amari Customs and Designs, is urging Utah residents, businesses, and policymakers to come together in support of broader electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, accessibility, and public education across the state.

With EV adoption accelerating nationwide, Utah is currently lagging in infrastructure despite growing interest. According to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, as of late 2024, there were just over 23,000 registered EVs in the state — a number expected to double by 2027. Yet many rural and suburban areas remain underserved by charging networks.

“Utah has the space, the innovation, and the community spirit to be a leader in clean transportation,” said Al-Baderi. “But we need to move faster, and we can’t rely on just government programs or corporate investment — it starts with everyday people choosing to support this shift.”

Al-Baderi’s call to action follows a recent company initiative at Amari Motors to begin integrating more custom EV options and retrofitted restorations that combine classic design with electric drivetrains. His goal is to show that EVs can appeal not just to tech-focused drivers but also to enthusiasts who value performance, craftsmanship, and style.

“I’ve worked with cars my whole life — gas, diesel, custom builds — but EVs aren’t just a trend,” he explained. “They’re a natural evolution. And with the right infrastructure and outreach, we can make sure everyone benefits from this shift, not just a few metro areas.”

Key Facts:

• Utah currently ranks 26th in the nation for EV charging station availability per capita.

• A 2023 U.S. Department of Energy report noted that Utah has fewer than 400 publicly accessible DC fast chargers statewide.

• The state’s Clean Air Partnership found that EV adoption could cut vehicular emissions in urban counties by over 30% within the next decade.

Al-Baderi stresses that increasing charging availability is only part of the solution. “We need education. A lot of people still have misconceptions about EV range, maintenance costs, and performance,” he said. “We need workshops, school programs, and local advocacy to fill those knowledge gaps.”

He also believes Utah’s unique geography offers a testing ground for EV performance in diverse conditions — from snowy canyons to desert highways. “If an EV can handle Utah, it can handle just about anything,” Al-Baderi joked. “That’s a message worth sharing.”

A Community-Driven Call to Action:

Al-Baderi encourages Utahns to take simple steps that help push the state forward:

• Support local businesses that are investing in EVs or installing chargers.

• Talk to local leaders about funding for infrastructure in underserved areas.

• Attend EV education events or request them in schools and community centers.

• Consider a hybrid or EV for your next vehicle — or test drive one to learn more.

“Change doesn’t come from one source,” Al-Baderi said. “It comes from all of us making better-informed decisions, supporting local progress, and thinking about the long-term health of our state and our families.”
