Approximately 204,000 public chargers and publicly accessible workplace chargers for light-duty vehicles had been deployed across the United States as of the end of 2024. From 2019 to 2024, the deployment rate of this non-home charging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles (EVs) grew about 25% annually. This is roughly equivalent to estimates of the growth rate needed in annual charging deployment to support continued expansion of the EV market. Charging deployment has not been uniform across the United States, and more chargers have been deployed in states with the most EV sales. Publicly announced investments in charging infrastructure from retailers, automakers, and charging providers sum up to 164,000 new DC fast chargers and 1.5 million new Level 2 chargers in the years ahead. These investments cover a substantial share of the chargers that we estimate will be needed by 2030.
Non-home charger deployment
About 6.3 million light-duty EVs had been sold and 204,000 non-home chargers deployed across the United States by the end of 2024 (Figure 1). In 2024, new EV sales surpassed 1.5 million, representing about 10% of all new light-duty vehicles sold in the United States. In 2024, more than 40,000 new non-home chargers were deployed, which was more than any other year. From 2019 to 2024, the rate of charging infrastructure deployment grew about 25% annually, which is roughly equivalent to estimates of the annual charging deployment growth rate needed to support continued EV market growth to 55 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads in 2032.
Total non-home charging deployment increased from 151,000 in June 2023 to 204,000 in 2024, a 35% increase. In that time span, the number of Level 2 chargers went from about 118,000 to 153,000, a 29% increase, and DC fast chargers increased from about 33,000 to 51,000, a 56% increase.
