US fast-charging network grows as Tesla raises Supercharger prices

The US had 80,964 public fast-charging ports across 14,614 locations by the end of September 2026.

Operators added 4,106 ports in the third quarter, though the rollout was slower than in the previous quarter and a year earlier.

Tesla added more ports than any other network, while IONNA and Walmart ranked second and third.

New charging sites are also getting larger, and many new ports can deliver more power, giving drivers more options at each stop.

Drivers used fast chargers more often, with 50.4 million sessions in the quarter, up 26% from a year earlier.

Tesla Supercharger prices rose, with non-member prices up 15% and member prices up 9% year over year.

Prices at non-Tesla networks stayed nearly flat, averaging about 53.3 cents per kilowatt-hour for the fifth quarter in a row.
