A new article from U.S. News explores the evolving landscape of EV charging across the United States, providing insights into availability, growth trends, and leading networks.
While EV sales have remained relatively flat in 2025, charging infrastructure has expanded significantly. According to the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, the number of DC fast chargers in the U.S. is up 35% year over year, with more than 228,000 charging ports now available at roughly 76,000 locations.
Tesla continues to dominate the fast-charging space with more than 33,400 ports, followed by Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint. Walmart is also emerging as a major player, with plans to develop its own nationwide network.
U.S. News highlights the uneven use of charging stations across the country. High-demand regions such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City see utilization rates above 50%, while other areas remain underused. This uneven distribution underscores both the opportunities and challenges of building out a national charging network.
Another trend is the shift toward larger, more customer-focused charging hubs. Tesla’s stations average over 15 ports each, and other networks are following suit by adding more capacity, reliability, and amenities to improve the charging experience.
