The U.S. EV charging network continued to expand in the second quarter of 2026, although the pace of new fast-charging station growth slowed compared with last year.
According to recent industry data, charging operators added:

๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ
This represents a decline compared with the same period last year, when 4,865 ports and 891 stations were added.
However, the slowdown does not necessarily mean the EV charging market is losing momentum.
Instead, charging companies are shifting their focus from simply building more stations to improving:
โ
Charger reliability
โ
Charging speed
โ
Customer experience
โ
Long-term network sustainability
Another notable change:
Tesla Superchargersโ overall market share dropped below 50% for the first time as other charging networks continued to expand.
In Q2, Tesla added 1,185 new ports, while other major players including Walmart, ChargePoint, Red E, and Electrify America also increased their charging footprint.
๐ Regional growth remains uneven:
California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and New York accounted for a large share of new charging installations, while some rural areas continue to face limited charging availability.
Despite the slower growth rate, the bigger picture remains clear:
The U.S. EV charging infrastructure is continuing to grow โ with a stronger focus on reliability, accessibility, and better driver experiences.
