Politics and market dynamics contribute to a slower pace of expansion for Canada’s charging networks

After several years of rapid expansion, new installations in Canada’s public electric vehicle charging network in 2025 continued across the country, but at a slower pace than the surge seen in the early 2020s. Shifting market dynamics and unruly politics have caused many of the headwinds facing the EV sector right now, yet the charging story of the past year was not one of stagnation but of transition. 

According to data from Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Alternative Fuelling Station Locator, as of March 25 there are now at least 39,654 public charging ports at 14,743 locations nationwide. Some networks are not listed with NRCan.

This is a 17.4 per cent year-over-year increase. 

While that marks a dip from the 24.2 per cent growth recorded in 2025 and 32.7 per cent the year prior, it still represents steady, tangible progress in building out the infrastructure needed to support Canada’s electrification goals.

Of the overall numbers, 31,172 ports (12,353 stations) are Level 2 chargers, while 8,431 ports (2,706 stations) are DC fast chargers. In March last year, by comparison, there were 27,456 Level 2 ports (11,087 stations) and 6,309 DC fast charging ports (2,192 stations).

Notably, the expansion of DC fast charging continues to outpace Level 2 installations, rising nearly 33.6 per cent over the past 12 months, compared to the 13.5 per cent increase in Level 2 chargers. 

Network-by-network roundup

Below, we present a detailed, network-by-network snapshot of each EV charging network’s assets and offerings. DC fast and Level 2 charging stations operated by every public national and provincial/regional EV charging provider in Canada are listed.

This year’s dataset reflects a market that continues to evolve, not only through expansion by established players, but also through the arrival of new entrants, including Autel, Chaevi, ChargeUp, EVGateway, Ford Charge, Loop Global and SureCharge. Looking ahead for 2026, early signs of what is to come are also visible: we have included a first look at the Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging network, following the commissioning of its first Canadian charging sites in January.

Beyond raw infrastructure counts, our roundup highlights broader industry shifts shaping network development. These include the growing adoption of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors, increased deployment of Plug & Charge and Autocharge functionalities, and a greater emphasis on accessibility features such as pull-in charging stations for vehicles with trailers. We also spotlight other business trends, location highlights, partnerships, and notable future plans. 

Methodology and data transparency

To ensure a more consistent, “apples-to-apples” comparison across networks, this year’s analysis places greater emphasis on data from NRCan’s Alternative Fuelling Station Locator, where available. Total charger counts are primarily based on NRCan’s database, supplemented by direct input from network operators. Many charging operators did not respond or declined to provide comment when approached by Electric Autonomy.

Electric Autonomy reached out to NRCan to better understand how its data is collected, with the aim of ensuring greater transparency in our reporting.

According to NRCan, most station data is collected via application programming interfaces (APIs), allowing networks to automatically share real-time information with the federal database. These API-connected stations are updated nightly, with new locations typically appearing within 24 hours of being reported.

Additional data is gathered through spreadsheets submitted from charging networks and other verified sources, with update frequencies ranging from monthly to annually, depending on the provider. Each station is also periodically verified, often through direct contact with operators, to ensure it remains operational and accurately represented.

Not all networks are captured in the NRCan database. In some cases, says NRCan, this is due to ongoing efforts to establish data-sharing agreements, lack of response from operators, or a network’s focus on private-use installations such as fleets, workplaces or multi-unit residential buildings. Because participation in the locator is voluntary (unless tied to specific funding programs), gaps can occur. In these instances, Electric Autonomy has relied on data provided directly by the network operators.

Finally, consistent with NRCan’s approach, network presence in this report will be measured by both station locations and total charging ports. Where possible, both metrics are presented to provide a clearer picture of each network’s footprint and relative scale across Canada.

National Networks

Tesla

• DC fast charger: 2,892 ports, 274 stations
• Level 2: 1,709 ports, 577 stations

The Tesla Supercharger network continued its steady expansion in 2025, with more than 500 new DC fast charging ports added across Canada, slightly below initial plans due to utility energization delays.

Differing from the NRCan numbers listed above, a Lakeland spokesperson said the company’s network includes 34 Level 2 chargers, 10 30 kW chargers and 12 dual-port 180 kW chargers, the latter of which can simultaneously charge two vehicles at 90 kW per port. The network currently has four NACS connectors on Level 2 sites, with plans to upgrade 180 kW chargers and future installations to include 50 per cent NACS ports, said a Lakeland spokesperson to Electric Autonomy.

For 2026, Lakeland plans to add 18 Level 2 chargers, one 120 kW charger, and 22 dual-port 240 kW chargers capable of charging two vehicles simultaneously at 120 kW. By year-end, the network is expecting to have a total of 132 public charging ports.

“As we continue to grow, 2027 will see an additional 14 240kW chargers at seven new sites across central Ontario,” says the spokesperson.

Lakeland’s network does not have chargers specifically designed for trailers to pull through, however, the spokesperson says they have anecdotal evidence that several of their sites have been able to accommodate trailers during off-peak times by pulling up perpendicular to the charger at the end of the row, since there is room for the trailer in the adjoining non-EV spots.

Because of this, Lakeland plans to have “several” new sites, coming online in 2026 and 2027, that will have a true pull-through “trailer-friendly”’ design.
