Huntsville is one of the most remarkable economic success stories in modern America. Once a small Alabama farming town, it became the Silicon Valley of the South after NASA chose it as the home of the Marshall Space Flight Center in 1960. Today Huntsville hosts the headquarters of Redstone Arsenal, the US Army's largest installation, along with a constellation of aerospace and defense contractors including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and hundreds of smaller firms. This concentration of engineers, scientists, and defense professionals has made Huntsville one of the fastest-growing and most highly educated mid-size cities in America. Huntsville Utilities serves the city through TVA's power supply at rates averaging just $0.1054 per kWh, among the lowest residential electricity rates in Alabama and far below the national average.
The Rocket City moniker is earned. Huntsville has the highest concentration of engineers per capita of any US city and consistently ranks first or second in quality of life surveys among mid-size American metros. Cummings Research Park, the nation's second-largest research park, sits within city limits and houses hundreds of technology and defense companies. This professional population drives EV adoption rates that significantly outpace similarly-sized Southern cities. The population of engineers and scientists who work on space and defense technology tends to be enthusiastic about automotive technology generally and EV adoption specifically.
