Paren Q2 2025 U.S. EV Charging Report

Paren's Q2 2025 State of the U.S. Fast Charging Industry Report reveals a market defined by record deployment pace, larger and more reliable stations, but with early warning signals around utilization that warrant attention.

The US added 4,395 new DCFC ports in Q2 2025, the highest quarterly figure on record, with a monthly average of 1,465 — far above the 2024 average of 970/month. Stations are getting bigger: 56% of new stations had 5+ ports, and the average new station had 5.4 ports, up from 3.8 in 2024.

Reliability climbed to 91.6 nationally. Average utilization declined slightly to 16.1% from 16.6% in Q1, with the national average masking sharp variation by market and operator. Pricing remained stable at $0.50/kWh average.
