- The deployment of public fast-charging ports slowed in Q3 2026 in the U.S.
- However, the total number of ports added was still impressive, with a stronger Q4 expected.
- Americans logged a record 17.6 million public fast-charging sessions in July alone.
America added fewer public fast-charging ports in the third quarter than it did a year earlier, as electric vehicle sales cooled following the U.S. government’s rollback of EV-friendly policies. But the slowdown in charger deployment doesn’t tell the whole story. Charging networks continued to expand across the country, adding thousands of ports and investing in higher-powered stations hoping for an eventual rebound in EV demand.
