DCFC Locations, Ports and Ratio: Tesla vs. Other Networks
At the end of August, the Tesla Supercharger network reached 11,125 DC fast charger ports across the US, accounting for 57.1% of all DCFC ports. With 1,118 locations, however, the Supercharger network accounted for only 20.1% of the total DCFC locations.
Number of Public Level 1, Level 2 and DCFC Locations and Ports in the US
Using the latest (as of August 31) public EV charging data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center, we see that there are now 107,479 public charging ports (Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charger).
7-Eleven Expected to Become the 6th Largest US EV DC Fast Charging Network By the End of 2022
Convenience store chain 7-Eleven recently announced they are going to install at least 500 DC fast charging stations (ports) at 250 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Based on the ratio of DC fast chargers in Canada to the US, we are projecting that 400 of these fast chargers will be installed at approximately 200 7-Eleven stores in the US.
DC Fast Charging Ports & Locations – Tesla vs. All Others
Tesla continues to dominate with 56.4% of all DC fast charging ports in the US. The Supercharger network, however, only accounts for 20.4% of all DCFC locations.
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Manufacturers Overview
We looked at the category of EV charging equipment manufacturers, known formally in the industry by the term Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).
DC Fast Charging Network Statistics
Using data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center, the following are new charts that look at three new metrics for DC fast charging networks as of December 31, 2020. Tesla continues to have the most DCFC locations in the US, though with ChargePoint and EVgo roughly about 150 locations behind and gradually closing the gap. […]
2019 – 2020 ICE and EV Sales Change in Selected Countries and Regions
The International Energy Association (IEA) recently released a fascinating chart that compares ICE and EV sales across various countries and regions for the years 2019 and 2020. As you can see, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of ICE vehicles declined in all countries and regions shown, except for Korea. On the flip side, sales […]
California: DCFC Well Ahead of Level 1 & Level 2 2025 Target Goals
In 2019, the California Energy Commission established target goals for the number of EV charging connections by DCFC and combined L1 and L2. As of December 3 using AFDC data, the state was much closer to achieving the targets for DCFC stations at 59.4% of the low target and 29.4% of the high target. This […]
Where Are the Level 1 Charging Connections in the US?
Those Level 1 120v EV charging plugs that everyone has at home and at businesses, where are they available for charging in public locations? Using AFDC data, there are less than 1,500 L1 plugs in the US, versus more than 77,000 Level 2. (The L1 number might be so low simply because the non-networked, non […]
Tesla Dominates DC Fast Charging Connections in the US
While the various fast charging networks continue to grow at a fast clip, the Tesla Supercharger network has maintained its recent dominance at a 54% market share based on number of connections. The Tesla Supercharger network, however, drops to a more earthly level at 22% when based on the number of US locations.
US & Calif. Ratio of EVs in Operation to Total Public + Private Charging Connections (all types)
California accounts for 24.3% of US charging connections, but 31.9% of EVs – so the EV to charging connection ratio is higher than for the total US. What is the needed ratio? That is a complex question – the IEA has said 10 to 1 for Europe, but my last estimate for Norway, the country […]
