"For example, charging infrastructure has been somewhat of a bright spot in a dark EV world; reliability is up, access is expanding and new EV drivers are finally understanding how to use the things. Now, EV charging deserts and dead zones are becoming less common, as consumers continue to build confidence in EV ownership. And yet, despite all the bright news, some charging woes persist."
"ChargePoint says that despite installing a whopping 190,000 new charging points (both level 2 AC charging and DC fast charging) in 2025, EV charging utilization outpaced growth by 20%. The company also says the number of charging sessions on its network shot up 34%, despite a much smaller increase in the number of EVs on the road. It expects the mismatch to get worse in 2026, unless the rate of EV charger installation continues to grow."
ChargePoint recorded a 34% rise in charging sessions on its network in 2025. The company installed about 190,000 new charging points (level 2 AC and DC fast) that year. EV charging utilization grew 20% faster than charger installations, creating a supply-demand mismatch. Global EV sales rose 20% in 2025, European sales rose 33%, and U.S. sales reached the second-highest annual total. ChargePoint expects the mismatch to worsen in 2026 unless charger installation rates accelerate. Plug-in hybrids account for roughly 16% of ChargePoint's level 2 AC charging events. Nearly 60% of driving miles enabled by ChargePoint chargers occurred in the past two years of its 18-year history.
