Electrify America Network Surpasses 6,000 Fast Charging Ports
The second-largest U.S. DC fast charging operator reports a 16% year-over-year increase in port count.
Electrify America, the second-largest DC fast charging network in the United States, has expanded its infrastructure to include over 6,000 high-powered charging ports. This milestone represents a 16% increase in port count compared to the same time last year.
What Happened
According to data from the Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), Electrify America now operates 6,029 fast charging ports across 1,191 sites in the U.S. The growth comes as the company maintains its position as the primary non-Tesla alternative, trailing only Tesla’s Supercharger network in total capacity. The expansion occurred despite lukewarm EV sales over the past 12 months.
Why It Matters
While Electrify America holds 6.7% of the U.S. DC fast charging market, competitors are accelerating their deployments. ChargePoint, the third-largest operator, deployed 333 ports in the second quarter, surpassing Electrify America’s 202 ports for the period. Additionally, Walmart’s emerging network installed more ports than any other non-Tesla company in Q2, reaching 916 total ports with thousands of 400-kilowatt stalls planned for installation by 2030. Electrify America is also shifting its payment model, ditching account balances in favor of direct billing from the user’s preferred payment method.
The Bottom Line
Electrify America’s network growth continues, but the pace is being challenged by rivals like ChargePoint and Walmart, who are rapidly increasing their footprints to capture market share in the U.S. fast-charging sector.
