ChargePoint Network Data Demonstrates Charging Demand Continues to Outpace Growth of Charging Infrastructure

• Total ChargePoint-enabled charging sessions up 34% in one year, outpacing new ports which grew by 16%
• More than 1 million EV drivers using ChargePoint on a monthly basis
• Vehicles identified as plug in hybrids in the ChargePoint app make up ~16% of all commercial AC charging sessions

ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT), a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, today announced data insights from more than 100 million EV charging sessions the company enabled in the last year. The company's own data combines with recently-released 2025 EV sales figures to suggest that charging infrastructure is not keeping up with driver demand.

ChargePoint released data insights showing that ChargePoint-enabled sessions were up 34%, outpacing new ports which grew by 16%, indicating that charging infrastructure is not keeping up with driver demand.

ChargePoint's data shows notable growth in both charging port expansion and utilization across the ChargePoint network and demonstrates that the number of EVs on the road is growing faster than the charging infrastructure needed to support them.

"ChargePoint believes we have entered the next phase of EV adoption. Nearly 60% of the 19.3 billion electric miles we've enabled in nearly 18 years took place over the most recent two years," said Rick Wilmer, Chief Executive Officer at ChargePoint. "New EV sales are no longer the primary benchmark for charger demand, it is the total number of EVs on the road. Those installing chargers in 2026 should see accelerated ROI because of this utilization pressure."

Automotive industry data indicates that global EV sales increased 20% in 2025¹, with European sales growing 33% and the U.S. experiencing its second-best year of EV sales ever². ChargePoint is enabling more EV drivers than ever, with more than one million drivers using ChargePoint every month. Of note, vehicles identified as plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) in the ChargePoint mobile app account for 16% of all commercial AC charging sessions managed by the ChargePoint Platform.

Whether charging demand is evaluated by volume or utilization, the data shows that charging sessions are outpacing new charger installation. In 2025, the volume of charging sessions increased by 34%, despite a much smaller increase in the number of vehicles on the road. Even with 190,000 more charging ports becoming available to drivers on the ChargePoint network, charger utilization still outpaced the growth of new ports by almost 20%. This bottleneck may get worse in 2026 unless the rate of charger installation increases.

The increased pace of electrification comes with significant environmental benefits. Since 2007, ChargePoint estimates it has helped avoid the use of 714 million gallons of gasoline. In the process, it estimates it has helped drivers avoid more than $2 billion in gasoline costs and more than 4.5 million metric tons of GHG emissions. Today, ChargePoint gives EV drivers access to more than 900,000 roaming ports in addition to approximately 375,000 public and private ports that ChargePoint directly manages.
