This is good news!
The number of DCFC ports keeps growing, and the reliability of those chargers keeps improving. The only downside is that DCFC costs keep rising.
An astounding number of DC fast chargers came online in 2025 | Electrek
In only the 7 months since last summer when my wife and I bought our '25 MME GT, we've noticed that not only has the number of DC fast charging stations in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio increased dramatically, but they work better too! We usually charge both of our Ford EVs (her MME GT and my '22 F-150 Lightning) at home, but the few times we've used public DCFC stations in the past year, they worked the first time, every time. Even the Electrify America stations! 😮
Rapid expansion hasn’t led to empty chargers. Nationwide utilization rates remained stable in 2025, suggesting that new supply is largely demand‑led rather than speculative.
Paren points to several drivers behind that demand: growing driver confidence in public charging, the rise of ride‑share and commercial EV use, and a growing group of drivers who can’t easily charge at home.
That demand showed up clearly in usage data. US fast‑charging networks delivered an estimated 141 million charging sessions in 2025, a record and a roughly 30% year-over-year increase.
In other words, higher EV adoption translated directly into more charging sessions, not idle assets.
Best wishes Oac98 with gettin' a position for the upcoming Job 1 at your plant! You're doin' the right thing in not worrying about things beyond your control, whether it comes from politicians or from the big shots at Ford.👍
