across networks

United States has 4294 fast-charging stations tracked in ChargeTariff across 10 public charging operators.

Fast (DC) charging runs from $0.39/kWh at FLO up to $0.90/kWh at ChargeNet, on public ad-hoc (pay-as-you-go) rates.

EVgo add a connection or session fee on top of the energy price, so a short top-up can cost more than the kWh alone.

Tesla, EVgo, Electrify America, Blink, ChargeNet charge an idle fee if the car stays plugged in after charging finishes.

AC (slower) chargers are generally cheaper per kWh than DC fast chargers but take much longer; several operators above price only the DC rate here. Rates are public figures as of 2026 and change often — confirm the live price in each operator's app.
