The United States public electric-vehicle charging network surpassed 250,000 ports in June 2026, according to the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center, which recorded 250,406 individual outlets at 80,543 station locations, including more than 73,000 DC fast-charging ports.
The United States public electric-vehicle charging network passed 250,000 ports in June 2026, with the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) recording 250,406 individual charging outlets at 80,543 station locations. The total comprises more than 73,000 DC fast-charging ports, approximately 180,000 Level 2 AC ports and a small number of Level 1 outlets. Tesla operates the largest DC fast-charging network in the country, with approximately 38,000 Supercharger ports; ChargePoint leads in Level 2 infrastructure with more than 76,000 plugs. The composition of the network is shifting rapidly: new installations increasingly carry both NACS (SAE J3400) and CCS1 connectors as automakers complete the NACS transition, and operators including Ionna offer both connector types at every station. Individual networks continue to grow: Rivian Adventure Network crossed 1,000 DC fast-charging ports in June 2026, and Electrify America is actively converting high-traffic hubs to add NACS access alongside CCS. Despite the scale of the milestone, the United States remains well behind China in the ratio of public fast-charging infrastructure to the size of its electric vehicle fleet.
