Good day, fellow Amp Analyzer,

Fleet electrification was the order of the day earlier this week, as the industry gathered once again in Las Vegas, this time for ACT Expo 2026. While the previous year’s event in Los Angeles attracted a larger audience and a wide variety of clean transportation options, a tighter audience focus and electric vehicles were hallmarks of this year.

The combination of a prolonged oil shock and the inescapable shadow of Tesla’s Semi starting series production make fleet EVs feel that much more imminent in 2026. Without a plan to begin testing the waters of EV capabilities, whether for last-mile logistics or long-haul freight moves, fleets risk becoming exposed to expensive fuel and outdated technology. All of which puts more charging at the top of many to-do lists, if these fleet additions are to undertake increasingly varied routes and routines.

Here are the latest EV infrastructure developments across the US & Canada ⤵️

News - From WattEV’s significant order for Tesla Semis to Greenlane’s freight corridor expansion into Texas, broader electrification plans were revealed en masse at ACT Expo 2026 in Las Vegas.

Numbers - 370 Tesla Semi Class 8 electric trucks will enter the WattEV fleet, building on the company’s 75 existing EVs that have already achieved 7 million freight miles in drayage and middle-mile logistics operations. On the Greenlane side, 2 new charging locations in Dallas and Houston will bring megawatt charging to the Texas Triangle, adding to 8 sites already planned in California, Arizona, and Nevada.

Nuance - “Every day that your business is not running electric is a day you are leaving money on the table.” Although it won’t seem surprising that this ultimate summary at ACT came from Dan Priestley, head of the Tesla Semi program, it should be sufficient to put fleet operators on notice. Fleet EVs are moving beyond the multi-year pilots and out onto the roads, ports, and municipal parking lots of North America. The next area to address is charging, which needs to be implemented from depots and distribution centers to dedicated charging hubs and travel centers along key corridors, starting with I-10 & I-15.

Next Up - Charging infrastructure provides the next major hurdle to leap for those with a stake in fleet electrification. For Tesla Semi customers, almost 50 Megachargers in the works across the United States, including more than 30 to be operational before the end of 2026, will breed confidence that charging options will stay ahead of their fleet electrification plans. For others, competition for Tesla Charging from companies like Greenlane, Terawatt, Voltera, and others, will be welcome, as those players build out from their SoCal base.

News - HondoGO, a new name in US DC fast charging, is expanding out of New York’s Hudson Valley (and taking it to Tesla on pricing at the first location we tested, matching local Supercharger pricing at $0.37/kWh).

Numbers - 32 DCFC ports spread across 8 sites that span the 125 miles from New York’s Lower Hudson Valley to a little north of Albany. SK Signet’s P200K units cover two charging stalls at up to 200kW max or 100kW shared power, with all sites so far serving four stalls with two dispensers.

Nuance - HondoGO operates on the EV Gateway platform, which is where you’ll find them listed in the Alternative Fuels Data Center. Despite energizing its first locations in New York state, the company is based in Connecticut and has a plethora of sites in the pipeline for New England’s busier metro areas.

Next Up - The network’s pipeline is where things really get interesting, with more than 10 sites slated for rollouts into Connecticut and Massachusetts, along with almost 20 more to come in New York. Opening all of these across the Northeast would represent a significant expansion for the region, serving markets of high EV adoption from the Tri-State area and all the way up the coast to Cape Cod.

News - A light week for AC charging additions compared to the past couple of editions, with Canada improving its numbers slightly, but the US relying heavily on ChargePoint’s contributions to keep numbers up. On the “coming soon” side, curbside L2 provider it’s electric secured exclusive rights to Philadelphia’s city-owned street-level charging, with up to 1,000 new ports anticipated via the partnership.

Numbers - 364 L2 charging ports added to the Alternative Fuels Data Center this week, spread across 25 states and 6 Canadian provinces.

Notable New L2 + AFDC Additions:

🟠 ChargePoint added 203 ports across the United States and another 12 in Canada, making up almost two-thirds of US additions this week. Notable sites include 10 ports at the YMDC medical facility in Yakima, WA, and 10 ports at Top Golf in Buford, GA, if you’re looking to work on your swing while your car sips electrons. The latter doesn’t have a site pin in PlugShare as yet, but its neighbor Andretti Indoor Karting does, showing how many interesting destination charging options this area is home to.

⚡ Vialynk slides comfortably into second place for L2 deployments this week, thanks primarily to 40 ports installed at City Hall in Ontario, CA. 5 ports each at parking garages in Rockville, MD, and Sandy, UT, round out the network’s total this week.

🔷 FLO added 33 AC ports across 8 locations, including 10 for residents at the Orchid Park property in Scotch Plains, NJ, and 4 at Parkgate Library in North Vancouver, BC.

◾ Blink notched up 30 AC additions this week, with deployments in five states as varied as Oregon and West Virginia. In the Pacific Northwest, 8 ports are added at the OHSU medical facility’s parking garage in Portland, OR. For the generally underserved area of West Virginia, 8 ports will be a welcome addition for residents at the Valley Pointe apartments in Hurricane, WV.

⭕ Red E had a quieter week than usual but still managed to help out educators in Massachusetts, as 2 new ports are now active at the Morris Elementary School in Lenox, MA, not far from the state’s western border with New York.

News - A relatively quiet week for DC charging additions to the Alternative Fuels Data Center in both the US and Canada, with the exception of Mercedes-Benz High Power Charging getting its listings in order and Walmart continuing to post an exciting mix of new states and service expansions for its massive EV charging project.

Numbers - For the week, 180 DC charging ports at 31 charging locations were added to the AFDC, covering 16 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

Check out the DCFCtracker.com site to see a map of the latest AFDC additions, which can also be filtered down to the past week or month.

Notable New Locations + AFDC Additions:

📍 Walmart EV Charging put 5 new pins on the map, including another in the Northeast with its first in Pennsylvania. Cranberry Township’s Supercenter 1770 gets 4 x Alpitronic HYC400s to serve 8 stalls. That’s twice as many as the Sheetz in a neighboring lot, which has hosted Electrify America hardware since 2021. Competition is at hand… 👀 Other locations activated this week include Omaha, NE, which gets ABB A400 units, and Oklahoma City, which gets another batch of 4 Hyperchargers. That’s 43 locations across 12 states now, for those keeping count.

🟢 Speaking of Electrify America, the veteran network added 3 new locations to its nationwide footprint this week, spanning the US. 10 stalls at Costco in Visalia, CA, start things on the West Coast, followed by 10 more in St. Louis, MO, and capped by 6 stalls for EVolve NY on the East Coast, now charging in Rosedale, NY.

💕 Love’s didn’t add any new sites this week but did upgrade three of its existing locations in California with new hardware and a fresh wrap in the brand’s colors. Travel Stops in Madera, Ripon, and Tulare, all get an upgrade on the older BTC Power units, which date back several years. Get the latest on Love’s charging below.

🔴 A typically productive week for Tesla Charging, with a total of 92 stalls deployed across 10 sites, 4 of which are Supercharger for Business (SfB) locations. The 16-stall sites in California’s Santa Clara and West Sacramento are the largest of Tesla's owned-and-operated bunch.

⚪ Of the white-labeled SfB locations, which are owned by a third party but managed by Tesla, one is a new site in Boca Raton, FL, and another is an upgraded Francis Energy site in Sand Springs, OK. A previously anonymous SfB location close(ish) to us here in New England is also of interest, with 4 stalls in Gorham, NH, confirmed by the Eastern Depot restaurant on the northern reaches of the White Mountains.

⚡ OnPoint EV Solutions confirmed three locations live in Idaho, in partnership with Jackson’s Food Stores. The sites in Fruitland, Meridian, and Nampa deploy Kempower’s Flex system and incorporate a variety of useful amenities, from the solar canopy and smart lighting to complimentary Wi-Fi and a digital kiosk for advertising and, hopefully, ordering items from the adjacent store.

🔹 New Circuit électrique sites at 2 locations in Québec, with 6 stalls at up to 180kW for both the Esso fuel station in Villeroy and this hospital in Montréal.

🍁 Staying north of the border, a new RechargeEco location in Dorval gets the ChargePoint treatment, with 4 stalls served by a duo of Express Plus dispensers at a retail strip with a diner, fitness center, and Lebanese food to occupy its EV drivers.

⭕ Red E posted 3 new locations in 2 states, with New Mexico the happy recipient of the site pair and Massachusetts getting the third. The simple addition of an AUTEL MaxiCharger DC in Española, NM, brings low-power DCFC within walking distance of downtown, while an unknown addition at Taos Ski Valley builds on L2 hardware that has been through the wringer of various providers. Let’s hope Red E makes the third time a charm there, while the final location in Great Barrington, MA, adds a similar number of DCFC ports (8 for Taos, 6 for GB).

🩶 Mercedes-Benz High Power Charging got back in the swing of dropping sites into the AFDC cauldron this week. Although there are no new locations to highlight, it’s a good opportunity to mention the successful “Driver Dialogue” I attended at their site in Braintree, MA. A new feature is in the pipeline for summer travelers, which may include promotional rates at some point, so stay tuned to the pricing section for more in the weeks ahead.

🚧 Construction first this week, as MarcoRPi1 was on the road and checking in from sites across the Northeast rather than firing out permits like microwave popcorn. Progress at future sites in Montebello, NY, Biddeford, ME, and Manchester, NH, bodes well for the Supercharger network in the Empire State and New England.

📝 Limited permitting news this week, although we have new Superchargers identified by MarcoRPi1 before his trip for Chicago, IL, and San Marcos, TX.

✅ On the non-Tesla side, permits were spotted by EV Infrastructure Report for a new FPL Evolution site in Miramar, FL.

🔶 Rivian offered a summary of its broader intentions to scale the Adventure Network this week, but it’s the construction at locations like Bow, near Concord, NH, and Tustin, CA, that will power EV adventures in the near term. The RAN remains just 5 sites away from being a completely open network, albeit with adapters needed at many locations.

🛒 It’s hard to pick from the wide range of Walmart EV Charging (WEVC) permits, plans, and construction every week, so we’ll start to summarize the numbers, highlight an interesting development, and refer you to the Wattmart site for any deeper dives you care to engage in by area, hardware, or stage of progress. At the time of writing this week, that means 377 known WEVC locations, 176 of which are in the permit stage, leaving 158 in the construction bucket. The most activity is happening in Texas, where a remarkable 39 new sites are in some stage of construction, while Florida has 21 and Illinois, which has no WEVC chargers energized yet, has an impressive 17 sites to come.

Is there an upcoming site in your area that the EV community needs to know about?

News - One of our go-to resources for fast-charger developments in the US, DCFCtracker.com, added a new pricing page to summarize rate changes by state.

Numbers - Average DCFC prices in the US range from a low of $0.37/kWh in Nebraska to the perennial highs of Hawaii, which sits above $1/kWh. Of the lower 48 states, New Jersey slides in with the highest average at $0.65/kWh.

Nuance - What constitutes a “good price” for DC fast charging depends not just on the state you’re in, but also the network you choose for the next 200-300 miles of driving. For 2026, pricing across IONNA sites has settled on a $0.39/kWh cap, which is on the very lowest end of the spectrum, excluding membership pricing and time-of-use (TOU) rates. On the upper end, the convenience and 24/7 access of Pilot-Flying J sites comes at a premium, with the network’s average at $0.59/kWh.

Next Up - The page provides a neat summary of pricing trends for the preceding week and month, with the ability to break out developments by state. Individual provider pages offer a quick network-wide average, with individual site pricing available for further research. Expect to see localized pricing battles where multiple entrants compete at the same intersection or town, while providers with a unique location will, in most cases, continue to charge a premium for bringing charging to that area.
