The United States had 80,930 public DC fast-charging ports as of 1 November 2026, according to Alternative Fuels Data Center figures analysed by Mark Kane at EVChargingStations.com. That is nearly 25% more than a year earlier, and a net 2,485 ports more than a month before, the largest monthly change the outlet has seen in two years.
Deployment is speeding up
September also added a net 2,209 stalls, the report says, compared with an average of just over 1,000 a month in the first eight months of the year. The average site is also getting bigger, at 4.92 ports per location against 4.52 a year ago.
Tesla still holds half the market
Tesla Superchargers account for 40,504 ports, about 50% of the total. Electrify America follows with 6,081, then EVgo with 5,414 and ChargePoint with 5,002. The top 10 networks together hold 83.2% of ports. The report notes that ChargePoint does not own most of its chargers, which belong to individual site owners and companies.
Tesla is still adding more stalls than any other network, almost 5,000 so far this year, but the other networks combined have added more than 8,000, so Tesla's share keeps slipping. Ionna, with 1,754 ports after adding 964 in 10 months, is on course to move up the table.
What the count does not show
A port charges one vehicle at a time, even if it has several connectors. The AFDC total includes 1,368 temporarily unavailable ports, about 1.7%, and the database may miss some sites. The estimated 16,460 locations may also be inflated, because neighbouring chargers are sometimes counted as separate stations. For drivers, uptime and local coverage matter as much as the national total.
