# ChargeCensus

> The public census of America's EV charging stations. ChargeCensus catalogues every EV charging station in the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center registry — locations, networks, connector types, port counts by charging level, pricing and access — as free, indexable per-station pages with network, state and city roll-ups. Dataset last updated July 2026.

ChargeCensus (chargecensus.com) is operated by Hyder Media. All records come from the US Department of Energy / NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) station registry, electric (ELEC) fuel type — the federal reference dataset for US EV charging infrastructure. One page per station; network roll-ups grouped by the AFDC ev_network code; port counts are EVSE counts by charging level (DC fast, Level 2, Level 1) as reported to AFDC.
