Despite an expected decline in EV sales this year—thanks to the Trump administration taking a sledgehammer to pro-EV programs—the country’s charging network is growing bigger. Charging stations are swelling in size, stalls are delivering more power and the result is a better experience for EV drivers plugging in.
The odds of pulling up to a station with broken, crowded, or painfully slow chargers are shrinking. At the same time, the chances of you finding a reliable, high-powered station—complete with WiFi, restrooms and even a decent cup of coffee and a variety of snacks—are steadily increasing.
The deployment of new fast charging ports, as well as stations, is on record pace in 2025, charging data company Paren said in a report late July.
America is on track to add 16,700 public fast-charging ports by the end of this year, which would be about 2.4 times the number of ports added in 2022. If this pace continues, the U.S. will have 100,000 public fast-charging ports by 2027.
