Charging network size statistics
- 250,406 public charging ports across 80,543 U.S. station locations (mid-2026). (U.S. DOE / AFDC, 2026)
- 180,000+ of those ports are Level 2. (U.S. DOE / AFDC, 2026)
- 73,000+ are DC fast chargers. (U.S. DOE / AFDC, 2026)
Charging infrastructure growth statistics
- 28.5% growth in DC fast-charging stalls during 2025 (≈51,000 → ≈68,000). (Paren, 2025)
- ~19,500 new DC fast ports forecast for 2026 (12,200 non-Tesla + 7,300 Tesla). (Paren, 2026)
Charging network leader statistics
- ~38,000 Tesla Supercharger ports — the largest DC fast network. (EVChargingStations, 2026)
- 76,000+ ChargePoint Level 2 plugs — the largest Level 2 network. (EVChargingStations, 2026)
Most charging still happens at home. Compare a Level 2 home charger or a travel charging adapter, and see our full EV charging statistics.
