Record EV Fast Charger Deployment in USA — Trump or No Trump - CleanTechnica

A recent report from Paren titled "State of the Industry Report: U.S. EV Fast Charging — Q2 2025" reveals that despite reductions in federal support under the Trump administration, the United States is on track for record deployment of electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers in 2025. The industry is seeing significant advancements in charger design, with a trend toward stations featuring more charging ports to reduce wait times and improve efficiency. Additionally, higher-power charging stations are becoming more common, reflecting ongoing technological progress from earlier standards like 50 kW chargers. The report also notes improvements in reliability and more predictable pricing, with a national average price per kWh declining slightly in Q2 2025, partly due to a shift toward time-of-use pricing models. Paren projects a 19% year-over-year growth in charging ports for 2025, building on 2024’s record high deployment. Major charging providers are expanding or opening stations with 8 to 12 or more ports,
