Charging ports per resident, state by state

Each square is a state, placed roughly where it sits on a map, and shaded by public charging ports per 100,000 residents: the darker the square, the more ports each resident has to share. Each fifth of the states gets one shade. Select a state to jump to its row in the table.

What each column means

Rank

Position by charging locations, most first. States with the same count share a rank. Sorting by another column renumbers the rows in that order.

Locations

A charging location is one physical charging site: every charger at one address counts once. We count open, public locations only, each in the state of its address.

Ports

A port is one plug that can charge one car at a time. The total adds Level 1, Level 2 and DC fast ports.

DC fast ports

Ports that charge with direct current, the fast chargers drivers use on road trips. Most deliver between 50 and 350 kilowatts.

Tesla (NACS)

Locations with at least one port using Tesla’s North American Charging Standard plug, also called SAE J3400. Most are Tesla Superchargers and Tesla destination chargers; a growing number of other networks have added the plug.

Ports per 100k

Ports for every 100,000 residents, using Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2025. It compares states of different sizes.

New, 30 days and 90 days

Charging sites confirmed open in that window by our growth feed, which reads AFDC opening dates and, for Tesla Superchargers, supercharge.info. Expansions at an existing site do not count as new.

NEVI-grade

DC fast stations meeting all three National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure minimums: at least four CCS ports, each able to deliver 150 kW at once, within one mile of a designated Alternative Fuel Corridor.

Methodology

The table reads the same live counts as each state page on ChargingNear.me, so a figure here always matches the page it links to. Station records come from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, which our sync reads every day. We group records at the same address into one charging location, keep only open and public locations, and count each one in the state of its address. Territories such as Puerto Rico are not in the table.

Ports per 100,000 residents divides each state’s ports by its resident population. New openings come from our growth feed, the same one behind the map above; the feed refreshes twice a day, at 6 AM and 6 PM Mountain Time. The NEVI column comes from our daily NEVI station check, which tests every open public DC fast station against the federal minimums.

We never estimate a missing figure. If one part of the data is unavailable when the page is built, its column is left blank rather than filled with a guess, and it returns on the next build.

What these numbers don’t tell you

A listed port is not always a working port. Counts show what is installed and open to the public, not whether each charger worked today; our charging reliability index covers that. Large states lead on raw counts, while the per-resident rate favors small states and places many visitors drive through. Neither measures how far apart chargers are on a highway, which is what our NEVI charging gaps page maps. Counts also say nothing about price, crowding at busy hours, lighting, restrooms or how long the wait is; each station page covers what we know about that site.

The Tesla column counts every location with the plug, whether or not that site is open to other cars. The NEVI column counts only stations that meet every federal minimum; many useful stations miss on one count, such as having three fast ports instead of four.

How drivers, reporters and planners use this table

• Drivers moving or planning a road trip compare DC fast ports between states, then open a state page to find chargers city by city, or test a drive with our Will I Make It range check.
• Reporters and researchers can quote any cell. Every figure is dated, sourced and in the free download, and the Cite as line below gives the exact wording. The counts refresh daily, so quote the data date with the number.
• State and local planners can set the per-resident rate beside the NEVI column. One shows coverage for the people who live in a state; the other shows highway-grade fast charging for travelers passing through.
• Fleet managers choosing where to base electric vans or trucks can check fast-port density and the newest openings before committing to a depot.
• Businesses and property owners weighing an installation can see where public ports are scarce for the population. Our pages for businesses explain how hosting public chargers works.

What explains the differences between states

Charging follows drivers. States with many registered electric cars, dense cities and generous utility or state rebate programs tend to have the most ports. Rural states crossed by long Interstates often rank higher per resident than their size suggests, because networks build for travelers passing through as well as for the people who live there. Building codes that require EV-ready parking, the pace of NEVI awards and where Tesla expands its Supercharger network all shift the numbers from year to year.

Why other totals differ from ours

Other trackers publish different totals for honest reasons. The Department of Energy lists station records, and one parking lot can hold several records from different networks; we merge records at one address into one location. Some totals include private chargers at workplaces, dealerships, fleet depots or apartment buildings, which this table leaves out. Others add planned sites or count Tesla destination chargers on their own. A single company’s map can be newer than the federal list, but it misses every other network. Rates per resident also depend on which census year is used. When you compare figures, check what each source counts as a station, and on what date.
