What the state-by-state numbers show
The public charging market remains highly concentrated. California is still the clear leader in both station locations and charging ports, and it has more than three times as many public ports as New York, the second-ranked jurisdiction. Florida, Texas, and Massachusetts also sit well above the rest of the field.
The national mix shows how mature the public market has become. Level 2 ports still make up the majority of public connectors, but DC fast charging already represents more than a quarter of the total, which matters for highway travel and quicker turnaround times.
At the lower end of the ranking, several smaller or more rural states remain below 700 public ports. That does not necessarily mean they have no statewide coverage, but it does show that their public networks are much thinner than the leading coastal and large-population markets.
Methodology
All figures in this article come from the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center Station Counts by State table, using the public-access view available on March 11, 2026. For electric charging, AFDC reports both station locations and charging ports. Residential charging infrastructure is not included, and AFDC notes that legacy chargers are included.
