EV Charging Networks — USA & Canada

Every major public charging network in the US and Canada. DC fast charging, public Level 2, and municipal stations — but no destination chargers (hotel / AirBnB Level 2 sites that are private to their property). Filter by network, payment method, country, and Tesla compatibility.

Who actually has the most DC fast chargers?

US + Canada DC fast sites by network, from the NREL station database. Tesla's ~8,800 Supercharger sites (~83,000 stalls) would top this chart but are tracked separately — see the Supercharger map.

Max powerV3: 250 kW · V4: 350+ kW
Pricing$0.25–$0.50/kWh · TOU varies
ConnectorNACS (Tesla)
Native — Plug in, identify via account, done. No app required for Tesla owners.

How to pay: Tesla account auto-billed (Tesla owners). Non-Tesla: Tesla app required at Magic Dock or NACS-equipped V4 sites.

Electrify America DCFC

Born from the VW dieselgate settlement. 1,000+ sites with mostly 150 kW and 350 kW chargers.

🇺🇸 USA CCS1 CC tap Plug & Charge

Max power150 / 350 kW (most 150 kW)
Pricing$0.36/kWh (Pass+ $4/mo: $0.31)
ConnectorCCS1 · CHAdeMO (some sites)
Needs CCS1 adapter — Tesla sells the CCS Combo 1 adapter ($175) for 2021+ Model 3/Y/S/X. Cybertruck requires a different one. Pre-2021 cars need a retrofit.

How to pay: Tap-to-pay credit card at most sites (NEVI compliance), Electrify America app, or RFID. Plug & Charge supported on most newer EVs.

EVgo DCFC

One of the oldest US fast-charging networks. Now ~1,100 sites, expanding rapidly with Tesla NACS rollouts.

🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇦 Canada CCS1 NACS at newer sites CC tap

Needs CCS1 adapter at most existing sites. NACS-equipped newer sites work natively with Tesla. Check the EVgo app — they label NACS sites.

How to pay: Credit card tap (NEVI sites), EVgo app, RFID. EVgo Plus membership ($7/mo) drops rates significantly in high-priced states like CA.

Ionna (iONNA) DCFC

The 8-automaker joint venture (BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, Stellantis, Toyota). Premium "Rechargery" sites with lounges and amenities.

🇺🇸 USA NACS (36%) CCS1 (64%) CC tap Plug & Charge

How to pay: Rivian app (sign in, add payment, find site). Non-Rivian users access via the same Rivian app. Some sites have credit card tap.

Note: Site locations favor scenic/outdoor destinations rather than highway corridors — useful for road trips, less useful for commuting.

ChargeHub L2 DCFC

Quebec-based aggregator and operator. Their app maps every other network in addition to their own stations.

🇨🇦 Canada 🇺🇸 USA
StationsAggregates all major networks

Best use: The ChargeHub app (Passport) lets you find and pay at most networks in Canada through one interface.

Regional, Municipal & Independent

Beyond the major networks, you'll find chargers at:

Municipal & Town L2 Some DCFC

City- and town-operated chargers at libraries, town halls, parking garages, parks, and transit centers. Often subsidized or free.

🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇦 Canada
PricingOften free or very low ($1-$2/hr typical)

How to find: Use PlugShare or Open Charge Map — most municipal stations are listed. They typically run on a host network (ChargePoint, Blink, Volta), so payment uses that network's method.

Tip: Search city websites for "EV charging" — many cities list their public chargers and rates.

State & National Parks L2

Increasingly common at park visitor centers, campgrounds, and lodges. Often part of state initiative + a host network.

🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇦 Canada

Examples: Vermont State Parks have ChargePoint installations. National Park Service has expanded EV charging via the IRA + Great American Outdoors Act — Acadia, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier all have public chargers near visitor centers.

How to pay: Same as host network (often free or low-cost for park visitors).

Independent Operators L2 DCFC

Local businesses, RV parks, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants. Often run on a smaller network platform or completely independent.

🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇦 Canada

Where to find: PlugShare is the best community-driven directory. Open Charge Map also lists thousands of independent stations.

Payment: Highly variable. Some accept credit cards directly, some use Bluetooth pairing, some require calling the host for activation.

What about "Destination" chargers?

You'll see two distinct types of Tesla-branded chargers in PlugShare and Tesla's own map:

TypeSpeedWhereCost
Supercharger (public) 150-350 kW DC Highway corridors, urban hubs Tesla bills automatically
Destination Charger 9.6-19.2 kW L2 (AC) Hotels, restaurants, wineries, AirBnB hosts, resorts Free for property guests / paid customers only

Destination chargers are private to the property's customers — they're installed free by Tesla as long as the host agrees to make them available to guests. The hotel front desk may or may not authorize non-guests. You can't reliably show up and charge if you're not a customer of the host. That's why this page excludes them — they're not actually "public" in any reliable sense.

If you're traveling and staying at a Tesla Destination Charger host, great — call ahead to confirm it's working and you'll have access. For trip planning, route through real public networks instead.

The NEVI mandate — why credit-card tap is becoming standard

Federal funding from the NEVI Formula Program ($5B over 5 years) requires every federally-funded charging station to:

So if you see a new EVgo, Electrify America, bp pulse, or Ionna station opened in 2024-2026, it almost certainly has credit card tap built in — no app required. Older sites are slowly being retrofitted.

Plug & Charge — the future of EV payment

ISO 15118 Plug & Charge lets the car identify and authorize itself the moment you plug in. No app, no card, no tap — just plug and go. Tesla has been doing this for years at Superchargers; the industry is finally catching up.

Networks supporting Plug & Charge today: Electrify America, Ionna, Mercedes-Benz HPC, bp pulse (newer), and growing.

Vehicle support varies by manufacturer — Ford, GM, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche have it in most recent EVs. Tesla works natively at Superchargers; Tesla on non-Tesla networks still requires the network's app most places.
