U.S. public fast-charging infrastructure has surpassed 80,000 ports, with Tesla adding the most charging ports again in the third quarter. Charging speeds, site scale and usage have increased, but Tesla Supercharger prices have risen by as much as 15% over the past year, adding to users' costs. Electrek, an electric vehicle outlet, reported on Oct. 13 that an industry report by EV charging data platform Farron showed U.S. public fast-charging ports increased by 4,106 in July to September. The number of charging sites rose by 664, bringing the total to 14,614 locations and 80,964 ports. The pace of expansion slowed. In the second quarter, 4,618 ports were added, a bigger increase than in the third quarter.
