As of September 28, 2026, SpotCharge's directory lists 70,975 EV charging locations in the United States, with 304,156 charging ports across 86,400 stations. 17,517 locations (24.7%) offer DC fast charging; the other 53,458 are Level 2 only. 98.9% of listings show no photos and 78.9% list no price. 6,525 of the locations are at hotels, inns or B&Bs. 506 locations were added in the past week. That is +496 locations versus the September 21, 2026 edition. Since July 6, 2026 the directory has grown by 3,521 locations (5.3%) and 29,896 ports, and DC fast locations rose by 848.

Charging speed and networks

Ports by listed power

150 kW and above: 86,989 · 35% of listed
50 to 149 kW: 25,253 · 10.2% of listed
Under 50 kW (Level 2 and slow DC): 136,073 · 54.8% of listed
No listed power: 55,841 · 18.4% of all ports
DC fast locations with no listed power: 604 · 3.4% of DC fast
NEVI-funded locations: 224 · 1.3% of DC fast

Shares are of ports with a listed power. The US DOE AFDC feed gives a port's level but not its power, and OpenStreetMap only when tagged; those ports are counted as not listed rather than given an assumed figure (since 2026-09-08). An owner who claims a listing can add the rating. NEVI-funded locations are those NREL lists with the federal NEVI program among a charging unit's funding sources; the program requires at least four 150 kW DC fast ports and round-the-clock access.

From the directory's daily per-state counts, read on each Monday. That series uses a slightly narrower query than the snapshot above, so its latest row can differ from the headline by a few dozen locations; compare within the series. Only locations, ports and DC fast have a recorded history — completeness, hotel and network figures are not back-computed.

98.9% of listings show no photos, 78.9% list no price, and 18.7% list no hours.

Where does this data come from?

SpotCharge merges OpenChargeMap, the US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center (NREL) and OpenStreetMap into one directory, de-duplicates locations within 100 metres with matching names, and re-syncs weekly. Owner-managed listings are labeled as such. Each weekly edition is stored as a snapshot, so the numbers on this page do not change after publication.

Methodology

Counts cover active charging locations listed in SpotCharge's directory, which merges OpenChargeMap, the US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center and OpenStreetMap. Locations from different sources within 100 metres of each other with matching names are treated as one. A location is “DC fast” when at least one of its ports or stations is DC. “No photos” means no owner, driver or OpenChargeMap reference photo; “no price” and “no hours” mean the field is empty in every source. Hotels are locations whose facility type is hotel, inn or bed and breakfast, including types inferred from the name. “Confirmed” means a source re-verified the location inside the last 12 months. Each edition is computed once on Monday after the weekend OpenChargeMap and Monday AFDC syncs and stored; OpenStreetMap syncs on Tuesday and appears in the following edition. Numbers on an edition page never change after publication.
