Plug it in: Electric car charging station numbers are rising As automakers introduce more models powered by electricity, there may not be enough public charging stations to handle the loadDETROIT -- When the electric car revolution arrives, will there be enough places to plug in? There are now 26,000 electric vehicle charging stations open to the public in the U.S., with more than 84,000 plugs. Currently electric vehicles make up only about 1.3% of total new vehicle sales in the U.S., according to the Edmunds.com auto site. But the bulk of the nation’s public charging network is much slower. Electrify America now has over 450 charging stations in the U.S. with more than 2,000 fast-charging outlets, Moran said.
