Ranked by number of charging stations listed in our directory.
Cumulative registered plug-in vehicles, per California Energy Commission (CEC) ZEV statistics dashboard, in partnership with the California DMV. Numbers approximated from the Q1 2025 cumulative population view. (Q1 2025).
Charging-infrastructure counts are SpotCharge directory aggregates compiled from OpenChargeMap, the US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), and OpenStreetMap, covering publicly-listed stations in California.
EV registration figures are 2024 data from AFDC (data from Experian Information Solutions). Numbers reflect publicly-accessible charging only (private/workplace/fleet sites excluded). Port counts are individual L2 or DCFC ports — a site with 8 DCFC ports contributes 8, not 1. EV count is BEV+PHEV combined; BEV-only is shown separately. Registration data is the latest annual AFDC/Experian snapshot.
