"...there are 159,300 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) or EV charging ports in the United States, it's important to understand that only 33,344 (20%) of them are fast charging (as of August 2023)...DCFCs can charge EVs up to 80% in as fast as 20 minutes, they take up less than a quarter of available charging ports in the U.S.

"...with the ongoing efforts by the U.S. government to improve the EV battery supply chain, we're likely to see more development in EV fast-charging batteries in the near future."
