The United States now has over 80,000 EV charging stations with more than 250,000 charging ports as of July 2026, according to The Motley Fool. The number of stations has increased by 16% since the start of 2025, while the number of charging ports has risen 28%. The network serves over 3.5 million electric vehicles on the road, though distribution remains uneven across states and within individual states.
Why it matters: The 28% year on year growth in charging ports signals strong infrastructure expansion for CPOs and contractors, though uneven geographic distribution suggests continued opportunity in underserved markets. The emergence of dominant network operators may influence procurement strategies and partnership decisions for site hosts and installers.
