This spring, we celebrate growing our national charging network! Since the last quarterly progress update, there are now more than 183,000 publicly available charging ports, an increase of more than 13,000 ports in the last three months. We’re more than a third of the way to reaching the Biden Administration goal of 500,000 public ports available by 2030! You can track progress by checking out this new interactive chart, showcasing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure growth.

Congratulations to Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont for contributing to this goal by opening their first National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program-funded stations in the last three months. New York opened the state’s second and third NEVI-funded station locations in February and March. Now, there are eight stations in six states with 33 public charging ports in operation supported by NEVI funding. A total of 36 states have released at least their first round of solicitations. Of these states, 23 have issued conditional awards or put agreements in place for more than 550 charging station locations that will each have at least four fast charging ports. Five states—Maine, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ohio, and Kentucky—have released their second round of conditional awards, which are detailed below.
