The US just hit a major electric vehicle milestone: There are now more than 200,000 public EV charging ports nationwide.
This achievement, announced yesterday by the US Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, demonstrates the momentum of expanding EV charging infrastructure. The Joint Office’s Q3 2024 update on August 30 showed an increase in three months of around 9,000 ports to nearly 192,000 public EV charging ports. This latest announcement shows an increase in the number of ports of around 9,000 in just seven weeks.

Since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration, the national EV charging network, which is driven by public funding and private sector investment, has nearly doubled. At the pace it’s growing, the aim of reaching 500,000 chargers by 2030 is within reach.
Thanks to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula (NEVI), Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI), and Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility (EVC-RAA) programs, new charging stations are popping up, giving EV drivers more places to charge. As of September 30, 2024, drivers can travel almost 58% of the busiest corridors in the country with a DC fast charger available every 50 miles, and by the end of 2025, that availability is expected to reach 70%.
The Joint Office has been working with states, local communities, and industry to build a reliable and accessible national EV charging network. EVs now make up nearly 10% of the US light-duty vehicle market, and with more models hitting the market, charging demand is only growing.
The Joint Office is also advancing standards like the J3400 (NACS) connector, which helps make more of the existing infrastructure compatible with a wider range of vehicles. In August, it launched a $150 million grant project to repair and upgrade 4,500 EV charging ports.
