EV Charging Infrastructure

Home and public electric vehicle charging infrastructure solutions are increasing.
Use the tool link below to find electric vehicle charging stations in the United States and Canada.

Public Charging Availability

  • As of February 2025, the United States has over 210,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers publicly available at over 76,000 charging stations, with charger reliability seeing consistent gains throughout last year and this year.
  • Nearly 1,000 new public chargers are turned on every week thanks to a combination of direct federal funding, federal tax incentives, state and local funding, and private investment.
  • Common new fast chargers along highways can get a car 100 to 200 miles of range in 30 minutes.
  • Today, families can travel nearly 60% of the most heavily trafficked corridors in the country and expect a fast charger at least every 50 miles, enabling a majority of long trips with an EV. By the end of 2025, upwards of 70% of those corridors will be covered. Today’s EV owners can expect an ever-improving charging network over the life of their vehicle.

Use the tool on U.S. Department of Energy’s website to discover public chargers available and find stations nearby.

Home Charging

  • About 80% of electric vehicle charging happens at home.
  • The average cost to install a faster Level 2 home charger in the United States is about $1,800, including the cost of equipment and installation. A tax credit of 30% of the charger’s cost, up to $1,000, is also available to eligible consumers. Visit the 30C Tax Credit Eligibility Locator page and mapping tool for additional information.
  • A Level 2 charger can charge most major EV models overnight for most daily driving needs (up to approximately 250 miles for a 10-hour overnight charge).
  • Although residential utility rates vary by state and can be affected by several factors, home charging is often cheaper than utilizing public charging stations, offering a considerable cost savings.
  • Installing a Level 2 charger can increase property values, making it more attractive to future home buyers who own EVs.
