For over a century, the ability to fuel up on the open road has symbolized American freedom and choice. Today, Americans are choosing EVs for their performance, innovation, and convenience, and they need a charging network that delivers the same freedom and reliability they’ve come to expect. 

To keep up with this demand, a reliable, nationwide network of EV fast chargers is crucial to give drivers the freedom to go where they want, when they want, in the vehicle they prefer. Collaboration between public and private partners is key to help improve and advance our nation’s charging infrastructure to meet growing consumer demand. 

The EV market in the U.S. is accelerating rapidly; there are over 4 million EVs on the road, and that number could be 30-42 million by 2030.¹ Meeting this surge in demand means deploying more than 1 million public chargers, a massive leap from the ~204,000 public and workplace charging ports installed by the end of 2024.² 

To keep pace as more drivers choosing electric, the U.S. must accelerate deployment and ensure that reliable, fast charging is available in every community. Investment in EV charging plays a crucial role in establishing a nationwide network that supports consumer choice and drives economic growth.
