On February 11, 2026, ChargePoint said data from more than 100 million charging sessions suggests EV charging demand is rising faster than charging infrastructure growth.
Key facts
- ChargePoint said total ChargePoint-enabled charging sessions were up 34% in one year.
- The number of new ports grew by 16% over the same period.
- More than 1 million EV drivers use ChargePoint every month, and the company says it now gives access to more than 900,000 roaming ports in addition to about 375,000 directly managed public and private ports.
Context and details
According to the company, even after 190,000 additional charging ports became available on the ChargePoint network, charger utilization still outpaced port growth by almost 20%. ChargePoint argues this indicates infrastructure deployment is struggling to keep up with the total number of EVs already on the road.
The announcement also noted that plug-in hybrids accounted for around 16% of all commercial AC charging sessions managed on the platform, a reminder that public charging demand is broadening beyond fully electric passenger cars alone.
Why it matters
This matters because utilization trends are often more useful for installers and site owners than raw EV-sales headlines. If stations are busier faster than new ports are added, the economic case for more charging points can strengthen.
What it means in practice
For project planning in Israel, the takeaway is to consider not only today’s charger count in an area, but also traffic growth, dwell time, grid limits and whether future expansion space exists.
What to check before making a practical decision
Before using the figures commercially, check whether ChargePoint has published updated network data or later investor materials with newer market numbers.
