Notes: Between 2011 and 2013, the electric vehicle charging counts reflect only the number of EVSE ports because data was not captured in these years about the number of stations (geographic locations).
This chart shows the growth of U.S. public and private electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure since 2011. The number of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) ports has grown consistently, and the number of EV charging station locations has also increased steadily since 2014 when the National Renewable Energy Laboratory started tracking the two figures separately. Between 2015 and 2019, the number of charging stations nearly doubled. In 2020 alone, the number of charging stations grew by 18%.
