en.Wedoany.com Reported - The expansion of public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the United States continues, with the total number of public charging ports nationwide now exceeding 250,000, distributed across 80,531 locations.

According to data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center, the number of public EV charging ports in the US has surpassed 250,000. This marks approximately half of the goal set by the Biden administration to install 500,000 public EV charging ports nationwide by 2030.

Despite the pandemic, peak inflation, and some political resistance, public EV charging infrastructure in the US has maintained steady growth. Currently, thousands of new public EV charging ports are still in the development pipeline and are not included in the current total of 250,000 public charging ports. It is expected that more charging ports will become operational over the next year or so.

It is worth noting that the total number of public EV charging ports is actually far lower than the number of home EV charging ports. California alone may have over 800,000 home charging ports. When combining home and public charging ports across all states, the total number of EV charging ports in the US could far exceed 1 million, roughly equivalent to the total number of fuel pumps at gas stations across the country.

Most EV charging occurs at home, and the average daily driving distance in the US is less than 40 miles. Trips of 100 miles or more per day account for only about 1% of all trips. This suggests that home charging may already meet the needs of some EV owners.

Specifically, two months ago, there were over 71,000 public fast EV charging ports in the US, and that number has now increased to over 73,000.
