Texas hosts one of the largest public EV charging networks in the United States. The state has 3730 unique public charging stations (physical locations) with 13710 total charging ports between them — across major metros, smaller cities, and the I-10, I-35, I-20 and I-45 corridors that connect them. Charging is densest in the four big metros — Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio — but DC fast corridors now reach the Permian Basin, the Rio Grande Valley, and the Texas Panhandle.

The state's charging mix combines Tesla Supercharger (still the largest single network in Texas), ChargePoint, EVgo, and Electrify America at the fast-charging tier, plus thousands of Level 2 chargers at workplaces, hotels, retail centers, and city facilities. Roughly 258 public chargers are listed as free, typically as a perk for hotel guests, retail customers, or city residents.

Texas EV drivers pay roughly $0.13 per kWh at home (residential average), $0.30/kWh at typical Level 2 public chargers, and around $0.43/kWh at DC fast — though peak rates exceed $0.55/kWh at some networks. A 75-kWh battery costs about $10 at home and roughly $32 at DC fast. Per-city pages have a calculator preloaded with 20 popular EVs and EPA-rated range data.

This directory is updated weekly from the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuel Data Center via the NREL public API — the most authoritative open dataset for U.S. public EV charging.
