# U.S. Adds 4,106 Public Fast-Charging Ports

The U.S. added 4,106 public fast-charging ports at 664 stations in Q3 2026, bringing the national network above 80,000 ports, although deployment grew more slowly year over year. The reported market signals include growing demand for 250–400 kW equipment and continued coverage gaps in rural areas. No government solicitation or contract award is identified, so this is market intelligence rather than a specific procurement opportunity.

- Public-sector buyers and infrastructure providers can use the demand for higher-powered equipment and rural coverage gaps to inform charging-network planning and equipment requirements.
- Companies offering 250–400 kW charging equipment or station deployment services may find opportunities as the network expands, particularly in underserved rural areas.
- Because the signal identifies no procurement vehicle, funding announcement, or solicitation, businesses should not treat the reported network growth as a current bid opportunity.
