August New DCFC Ports Were On Pace With YTD Average

August was another solid month in the US for deployment of new DC fast charging ports, though well below the highs so far in 2025 in May and June. At 1,262 new ports, the August numbers were on par with the YTD average of 1,252 and also consistent with March, April, and July.

We are forecasting that 2025 will have at least 16,500 new ports, with 17,000 or more possible. Most months will be at or above the YTD average, with the exception of October, which in both 2023 and 2024 saw significantly lower deployments than the monthly average. On the flip side, in both 2023 and 2024, the most new ports in any month occurred in December. So expect 2025 to end with a bang.

Tesla and EVgo continue to lead across all months, but three companies stood out in August with significant new openings. IONNA opened 106 new ports from 7 new station openings, bp pulse opened 55 new ports from 4 new station openings and FLO, a Canadian charging company that only recently began opening stations in the US, opened 45 new ports.
