America has roughly 204,000 public and workplace chargers — and 40,000 of them showed up in 2024 alone. The map is filling in, just unevenly.

Per capita, the leaderboard flips entirely. Vermont leads, followed by DC and California. The common thread: state-level EV incentives, utility partnerships, and earlier adoption curves that pulled charger deployment forward.
Growth has compounded ~25% a year since 2019, with another 164,000 DC fast and 1.5 million Level 2 chargers already announced. Geography still rules — a good home charger is the hedge.
