"Charging companies added 699 public fast-charging stations nationwide between July and September, a 12% decline compared to the 794 ports added in the second quarter of this year, EV charging data platform Paren said in a report. The figure is lower compared to the U.S. Department of Energy's report of 780 new fast charging stations in Q3. Paren data accounts for stations that have come online for a more accurate number, whereas the DOE is possibly reporting stalls installed, but ones that haven't yet been switched on."
"Seven hundred new stations in the third quarter may seem like a small number, but they together provide 4,061 new DC fast-charging ports. We reported previously that the U.S. is deploying fewer stations, but those have more ports at each location, with higher-powered stalls delivering faster charging speeds. Tesla was comfortably ahead of the pack. Of the 4,061 new ports added, 1,820 were part of the Tesla Supercharger network. That's more than the next nine networks combined."
More non-Tesla drivers have started using Superchargers as their default network, reducing utilization at some non-Tesla networks. Charging companies added 699 public fast-charging stations nationwide between July and September, a 12% decline from 794 in Q2, while the Department of Energy reported 780 new stations. Paren counts stations that have come online, producing a more conservative tally. The 699 new locations provided 4,061 DC fast-charging ports. Tesla contributed 1,820 ports, exceeding the next nine networks combined. Deployment slowed marginally versus Q2 but remains robust and on track for a record annual rollout. Trends favor fewer sites with more, higher-powered stalls, and federal charger funds were recently unlocked after a court ruling.
