EV Charging Networks
Public EV charging networks (CPOs - Charge Point Operators) provide corridor and urban DCFC coverage for consumer and light-commercial EVs, and increasingly for fleets and commercial vehicles. The US CPO landscape has consolidated significantly since 2023 — several early entrants have been acquired, gone bankrupt, or exited the market. This directory covers all active US and global networks with current operational status.
Tesla Supercharger remains the reliability and coverage benchmark. V4 Supercharger at 500 kW and Magic Dock NACS-to-CCS adapters have transformed the competitive landscape — non-Tesla vehicles now access the best-maintained network, while other CPOs are measured against Tesla uptime and user experience.

DCFC share estimates based on available AFDC and industry data as of early 2026. Port counts change continuously — see DOE AFDC Station Locator for current data.
Defunct & Acquired Networks
The US CPO landscape has seen significant consolidation. Understanding which networks have been acquired or shut down is important for asset tracking, real estate due diligence, and understanding who now operates legacy equipment.
| Network | Status | Acquired By / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Volta Charging | Acquired / Partial shutdown | Shell acquired Volta assets in 2023; advertising-model free charging discontinued; select sites rebranded Shell Recharge |
| EVConnect | Acquired | Acquired by Blink Charging; platform integrated into Blink network; hardware maintained |
| SemaConnect | Acquired | Acquired by Blink Charging; L2 workplace/multifamily focus absorbed into Blink portfolio |
| GreenlotCharging | Acquired | Acquired by Shell; technology integrated into Shell Recharge platform |
| Webasto Charging | Exited US public network | Webasto exited US CPO market; hardware business continues; OEM and fleet focus retained |
| Recargo / PlugShare | Acquired | Acquired by Electrify America; PlugShare app continues as independent crowdsourced charging locator |
