America’s EV charger deserts continue to vanish as an array of networks switched on 704 new, public fast-charging stations. There are now nearly 9,000 public, fast-charging sites in the US.
At the current pace, public fast-charging sites will outnumber gas stations in the U.S. in about eight years. North American operators will spend a collective $6.1 billion on charging infrastructure this year, nearly double their 2023 investment.
“We’re seeing demand for fast charging skyrocket,” said Sara Rafalson, executive vice president at EVgo Inc., which operates almost 1,000 stations in the U.S. “We’re continuing to build bigger and bigger stations because we need to keep up with that demand.”
