What are the largest EV charging networks in the US?

What counts as a charging network

The Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), which keeps the Department of Energy's station registry, defines a charging network as a group of stations tied together by one platform, usually a mobile app or website. Networked chargers are connected to the internet, which lets the site host take card, app or RFID payment, track use and offer driver support.

Two things follow from that definition. First, a network is not always the owner: many networks sell software and hardware to hotels, cities and employers, who set their own prices. Second, chargers that are not connected to any platform are listed as Non-Networked. They are the third-largest group by station count, at about 4,800 public sites.

The registry records one network per station, exactly as reported. Roaming agreements that let one network's app start a session on another's charger are not reflected in these counts.

Largest networks by number of stations

Public stations marked available in the AFDC registry, October 5, 2026:

1. ChargePoint: 47,817 stations
2. Blink: 5,835 stations
3. Tesla Destination: 3,918 stations
4. Tesla (Supercharger): 3,146 stations
5. EV Connect: 1,343 stations
6. LOOP: 1,232 stations
7. FLO: 1,224 stations
8. Electrify America: 1,219 stations
9. EVgo: 1,183 stations

ChargePoint alone accounts for about 58% of all public stations in the registry. Its sites are mostly small, averaging under two ports each, and almost entirely Level 2.

Largest networks by number of ports

Counting ports instead of sites narrows the gap, because some networks build far larger sites than others:

• ChargePoint: 84,078 ports
• Tesla (Supercharger): 38,681 ports, about 12 per site
• Blink: 22,299 ports
• Non-Networked: 14,764 ports
• Tesla Destination: 14,561 ports
• LOOP: 10,019 ports

ChargePoint's share falls from 58% of stations to about 32% of the 260,442 public ports in the registry.

Largest networks for DC fast charging

For road trips, the relevant ranking is DC fast ports, which AFDC describes as adding roughly 100 to 200+ miles of range in 30 minutes. Of 77,515 public DC fast ports in the October 2026 snapshot:

1. Tesla (Supercharger): 38,681 ports, about 50%
2. Electrify America: 6,019
3. EVgo: 5,247
4. ChargePoint: 4,737
5. RED_E: 2,167
6. Blink: 1,958
7. IONNA: 1,576
8. EV Connect: 1,574

The fast-charging field is much more concentrated than Level 2. Tesla's two networks also split cleanly by level in the registry: every Supercharger port is DC fast, and every Tesla Destination port is Level 2. Where the registry records a facility type for a Tesla Destination site, it is most often a hotel or inn.

Why network totals vary between sources

Network figures quoted in press releases and on AFDC's own network page often run higher than the counts above. The usual reasons:

• AFDC's network page covers stations in the US and/or Canada; the counts here are US only.
• Some totals include private fleet or workplace chargers; these are public only.
• Companies often count ports, or all equipment sold, rather than public sites.
• Data timing differs. AFDC imports networks with an API daily, imports others from spreadsheets on whatever schedule the network sends them, and re-verifies non-networked stations every other year.

Seeing a network's stations

Each network has a page on ChargeCensus listing its states, cities, largest sites and port mix, with links to every station. The networks index lists every network in the registry, and the largest networks ranking sorts them by size. To see which networks operate in a given place, open a state from the stations index.
