EV Charging Networks
US Charging Network Growth
Quarterly US charging-station count by operator, across all charger types: L1 (slow wall-outlet), L2 (overnight home/destination), and DCFC = DC Fast Charging (highway-speed, 50–500+ kW).
US DC Fast Charging Network Growth
Quarterly count of DCFC = DC Fast Charging stations (the high-power highway-speed chargers, typically 50–350 kW) in the US by operator. Tesla Supercharger, EVgo, and Electrify America are nearly all DCFC; ChargePoint is mostly L2.
China Charging Network Operators
Total public charging connectors by operator in China: the world's largest EV charging market by a wide margin. StarCharge, TELD, and State Grid lead; combined, China has roughly 15x the public charger count of the US.
European Charging Networks
Public EV charging ports (individual plug connectors, not stations) by operator across Europe. Tesla, Ionity (premium-OEM joint venture), and Fastned focus on highway DCFC (DC Fast Charging); Allego covers urban/destination.
Global Network Comparison
Side-by-side stats for major charging networks worldwide: total stations, total ports (plugs), max kW, supported connector standards (NACS / CCS), and whether the network is open or brand-restricted.
| Network | Type | Region | Stations | Ports | Max kW | Connector | Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 TELD | Platform | China | 95,000 | 807,000 | 600 kW | GB/T | Open |

 ChargePoint | Pure-play | NA / EU | 34,000 | 330,000 | 400 kW | CCS1 / NACS | Open |
 Tesla Supercharger | OEM | Global | 7,000 | 65,000 | 500 kW | NACS | Open (NACS) |

US Public Ports by Power Class
National inventory of publicly accessible US ports split into Level 2 (slow AC) and DC fast. Year-end 2024 and 2025 from IEA; August 2026 from DOE AFDC. This is hardware class, not operator share.
Largest European Public Charging Markets
IEA year-end 2025 public charging points in the four largest European markets. The Netherlands leads on point count because of a dense AC street-charger stock, not because it has the most highway DC stalls.
China Charging Guns, Public vs Private
NEA and EVCIPA gun counts. Private home and workplace guns are now more than three times the public stock, which is why China can post a low EVs-per-public-charger ratio and still cover most daily charging off-street.
Tesla Supercharger Stations and Connectors
Global Supercharger stations (right axis) and connectors (left axis) from Tesla quarterly shareholder updates. Connector count is Tesla's disclosed global stall total, not a US-only AFDC extract.
EVgo Stalls in Operation
EVgo total stalls from earnings releases, including public-network, autonomous-vehicle, and eXtend stalls. Q2 2026 additions were partly offset by legacy removals under the Renew program.
Disclosed Network Size from Filings
Latest footprint each listed operator actually discloses. Metrics are not interchangeable: Tesla connectors are not ChargePoint software ports. Read the notes column before ranking names against each other.
| Operator | Metric | Value | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Supercharger(TSLA) | Connectors | 82,357 | 2026 Q2 |
| Tesla Supercharger(TSLA) | Stations | 8,704 | 2026 Q2 |
| EVgo(EVGO) | Stalls in operation | 5,380 | 2026 Q2 |
| ChargePoint(CHPT) | Active ports on software | 385,000 | FY2026 |
| Fastned(FAST.AS) | Stations | 406 | 2025 YE |
| Shell(SHEL) | Own-operated public points | 88,000 | 2025 YE |
