U.S. states have built less than 400 electric vehicle charging ports through April under $7.5 billion federal infrastructure programs, the Government Accountability Office said Tuesday.

As of April 2025, 384 charging ports are operating at 68 stations in 16 states, GAO said, saying a joint office overseeing the program "has not defined performance goals with measurable targets and time frames for its activities." //

Nationwide, there are about 219,000 publicly available EV charging ports, according to the Energy Department. //

Oh, and for the sake of comparison, there are 198,443 gasoline stations in the United States, and to make it apples-to-apples, since the number of EV charging ports are just that - ports, equivalent to one single gas or diesel nozzle - just for the sake of argument, let's assume an average of six pumps per station, with two nozzles per pump; that's 2,381,316 gasoline or diesel ports in the United States. Even our own little local gas station, up the road in our little Susitna Valley village center, has six gasoline pumps and two diesel pumps, so I'm pretty confident with that number.
