Comparing Public Electric Car Charging Networks

EV charging infrastructure is expanding dramatically to meet demand. According to the latest U.S. Department of Energy data, more than 64,000 locations currently offer at least Level 2 EV charging nationwide, and more than 10,000 locations provide Level 3 DC fast charging. The trouble is that the effort is not very centralized. Those 64,000 locations are spread across a myriad of private companies, and navigating that expanded infrastructure can be confusing.

Teslas can charge at Superchargers, and owners can plan optimal routes using Tesla's trip-planning software without leaving the ecosystem. For non-Teslas, it's more complicated. Tesla has Tesla chargers, which can only be used by Teslas and NACS chargers, which can also be used by Ford and Rivian EVs with an adapter. Certain Tesla Supercharger stations offer 'magic docks,' which are compatible with all CCS port EVs.
