EV fast-charging networks in the US are expanding at an explosive rate all over the country. In the first half of 2025 alone, these networks added over 7,600 new DC fast-charging ports to the already-existing 58,614, according to EV Charging Stations’ Mark Kane.
By 2027, the US will likely have 100,000 fast-charging ports available to customers, as Inside EVs’ Suvrat Kothari points out. That growth only makes sense. DC fast chargers are the most convenient choice for long-distance commuters, business travelers, and tourists who drive EVs.
Those DC fast chargers are only the tip of the iceberg. Their number will undoubtedly rise as more people discover the benefits of driving an EV. But who are the innovative companies that have driven that growth upward?
In this post, we’ll showcase the fastest-growing DC fast-charging networks in the US. More importantly, we’ll discuss how they achieved success in this rapidly growing industry.
What DC Fast-Charging Companies Top the List of Fastest-Growing EV Charging Networks?
As Kane’s article points out, many of the new DC fast chargers that are swelling these numbers have a power output ranging from 350 to 400 kW. That capability translates to faster charging speeds, allowing more vehicles to charge in less time. That could prove a game-changer for those stations’ profitability. Although DC fast chargers might be more expensive for station operators at the outset, they’re well worth investing in, especially for companies along well-traveled corridors.
Topping the list of the fastest-growing DC fast-charging networks are six familiar companies: Tesla, Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint, Blink, and EV Connect. However, as Kane observes, other charging networks are nipping at their heels, growing faster than these industry leaders.
One worth mentioning is IONNA, a rapidly growing newcomer to the DC fast-charging space. In June 2025 alone, the company put 40 new ports into service, expanding their total number to 182.
Walmart, too, looks to be a major player in DC fast charging within five years. With plans to put a “five-digit number of charging stalls” into service by 2030, it could soon take its place among the nation’s leaders in EV charging.
The road to success these fast-charging leaders took to get to the top is well worth examining for other EV charging networks looking to join this elite group. Here’s a quick rundown.
1. Tesla’s Supercharger Network
With nearly 32,000 DC fast-charging ports and more than half of the nation’s total fast-charger inventory, Tesla’s Supercharger network spearheaded the movement toward a charging system that could rival that of internal combustion-powered vehicles. In September 2012, the all-electric carmaker launched the first six Supercharger stations in the US, with six locations in California.
Using solar energy to power their chargers, Tesla’s original Superchargers operated at “almost zero marginal energy cost.” This cost-saving measure allowed Tesla Model S owners to charge their cars for free — a strategic move to jumpstart the Tesla network’s popularity.
The Superchargers’ speed and cost-free initial promotion won Model S drivers’ loyalty. As Tesla expanded the Superchargers’ capability to fuel almost all Tesla models, those initial six stations blossomed into more than 30,000 fast-charging stations available today.
The Tesla Supercharger network remains at the leading edge of DC fast charging, offering 15-minute charging times and a robust support network. Now that Tesla has opened its Supercharger network to other brands of electric vehicles, it looks to remain on the DC fast-charging leaderboard for years to come.
2. Electrify America
Holding a solid second place in the top six DC fast-charging networks in the US, Electrify America prioritized “convenience, reliability, and speed” to bring its fast-charging stations to life. Until Tesla opened its network up to non-Tesla customers, the company ran the “largest public ultra-fast charging network” in the nation.
Now that Tesla has enabled most US EV drivers to charge at its Supercharger stations, Electrify America dropped to its number two position. Currently, it holds an 8.3% share of the nation’s fast-charging stations with 4,894 ports.
However, as a March 2025 EV Charging Stations post points out, Electrify America plans to expand its network by 30% by the end of 2025. It’s almost there, having grown by nearly 900 chargers to reach a total of 4,000 in 2024.
With battery energy storage systems (BESS) in 170 of its locations, this network looks to make dependability and savings its stock in trade. With battery storage, these stations can serve customers even during outages. Additionally, the stations can switch to the BESS system during peak usage hours, enabling them to provide energy to their customers at a lower cost.
3. ChargePoint
As the largest EV charging network in the world, it’s no wonder that ChargePoint is among the leaders in DC fast-charging stations in the United States. With 4,463 ports, the California-based company holds a 7.6% share of the nation’s EV fast-charging business.
ChargePoint’s growth strategy includes installing its fast chargers “along the most heavily populated and highly trafficked regions on the…coasts,” according to a United Nations Climate Change article. This strategy ensures that EV drivers who commute to work and attend business meetings over long distances have dependable charging along the way.
EV-driving tourists, too, who come to the East and West Coasts to savor beach life, can relax, knowing that they can charge their cars while traveling to their destination. These powerful chargers can fuel an EV up to 80% in fewer than 30 minutes, making them an ideal rest stop for travelers.
4. EVgo
EVgo’s policy of making fast charging available for every EV driver nationwide has led to its massive success. With 4,177 ports and a 7.1% share of the US fast-charging market, the company has made significant progress toward meeting its goal.
So far, the company has installed fast chargers within 10 miles of the homes of 40% of US residents. Compatible with all EVs capable of DC fast charging, EVgo’s chargers are as convenient as they are available.
EVgo also partners with businesses that want to attract the growing number of EV drivers who want the convenience of fast charging. That’s especially true for companies located in high-traffic locations where many long-distance travelers pass through daily.
The company also works with EV fleet managers to provide turnkey charging infrastructure for all types of vehicles, ranging from light-duty to heavy-duty. It also partners with automakers to offer preferred pricing, prepaid charging credits, and other perks to help them entice customers to consider purchasing a vehicle from their EV lines.
5. Blink
Although Blink only has a 2.8% share of the US fast-charging market, it’s certainly moving up the ladder quickly within the DC fast-charging space. Its 1,636 ports are about to get a major upgrade in their visibility with Blink’s newly announced partnership with Hubject.
Hubject, the “largest international eRoaming network” on the planet, will integrate Blink’s stations into its eRoaming platform. This will allow customers across North America to access Blink’s EV charging stations through apps already installed on their devices.
With Hubject’s seamless connectivity across 1 million charging points worldwide, the partnership enables Blink users to gain better access to stations across the Hubject platform.
Hubject, too, looks to gain from the new partnership. Adding Blink’s considerable inventory of DC fast chargers, as well as its massive Level 2 network in many American workplaces, to its network will strengthen its presence across North America.
6. EV Connect
With 15 years of experience in the EV charging space, the EV Connect network numbers among the top DC fast-charger networks in the nation, with 1,621 DC fast-charging ports. It didn’t just get there on its longstanding reputation alone.
From its 2022 launch of its DC fast chargers in several California locations, EV Connect followed an intentional four-pronged strategy to introduce its high-powered charging stations to its prospective customers.
First, those installations included a popular convenience store in an economically-challenged neighborhood, underscoring EV Connect’s equitable approach to providing affordable, fast charging 24/7.
Secondly, the company’s leadership followed up on its intentions by securing funding for its infrastructure from the local utility, PG&E. That funding included everything the new fast-charging stations would need to get up and running, from design to the infrastructure installation itself.
Then, EV Connect installed and activated the charging stations themselves on their proprietary platform, ensuring the new stations would have full support and connectivity from the get-go.
But it didn’t stop there. In an early 2022 blog post, the company paved the way for acceptance by educating customers about DC fast charging and its benefits. It continues to educate its customer base today about newer EV technologies, such as smart charging.
