EDIT: It looks like the study we cited from Jerry is comparing individual charging stalls to entire gas stations, not individual pumps, thus making the information they presented inaccurate. While the information that there are up to 150,000 individual gas stations is true, they each have multiple pumps, so the number of pumps is many times higher than the number of EV charging outlets.

We have adjusted the story to reflect this.

The charging station infrastructure in the United States will catch up to and surpass traditional fuel stations for the number of individual pumps, or charging stalls if the Biden administration's plans to add 500,000 of them by 2030 is fulfilled. There are currently between 110,000 - 150,000 fuel stations (each with multiple individual pumps) and the number of EV charging outlets is around 110,000.

The number of gas stations has been going down for the last two decades, while increasing sales of electric vehicles has spurred constant and sometimes rapid expansion of the charging infrastructure. There are now over 2-million EVs on US roads compared to just 16,000 a decade ago.

One major challenge ahead will be for the charging infrastructure to keep up with the rapidly increasing number of EVs in the US. Projections say that by 2030 the country will have 30-million EVs on its roads, and according to the source, that would require the construction of 478 charger stalls per day for eight years in order to meet the need.
