US media outlets are ranking the ten states with the most electric vehicle chargers as electric car sales continue to rise. The coverage highlights how charging infrastructure is expanding unevenly across the country, with some states far ahead of others in public charging availability as more drivers switch to EVs.

New reporting from InsideEVs says extremely fast electric vehicle chargers are on their way to the United States, but most cars on the road cannot yet handle the power levels they deliver. The article highlights a growing gap between charging infrastructure and vehicle capability, raising questions about whether the rollout of next-generation chargers makes sense while current EVs remain limited in how quickly they can recharge.

A Guardian report says three-quarters of the UK's most popular plug-in hybrid cars cannot use the country's rapid electric-vehicle chargers, highlighting a compatibility gap as charging networks expand and petrol prices push drivers toward electrified vehicles. The finding raises questions about how practical plug-in hybrids are for quick top-ups, and adds to debate over whether buyers should opt for fully electric cars instead.

BYD appears to be deploying a new generation of megawatt chargers with even higher power output than its existing units. The Chinese automaker already leads on ultra-fast charging with chargers capable of around 1 megawatt, and the rollout would extend that lead, enabling faster refueling for electric vehicles and its commercial truck fleet.

Ultra-fast EV charging stations rated at 2,250 kilowatts are already operating in China, according to Electrek. By comparison, the United States is only considering rolling out 750kW chargers next year, a fraction of the Chinese capability. The gap highlights how far ahead China's charging infrastructure has moved, prompting discussion about the pace of US charging buildout and its implications for electric vehicle adoption.

A new guide to the best home EV chargers for 2026 highlights a warning from manufacturers: repeatedly unplugging your charger wears out the outlet.

EVDANCE has expanded its EV charging extension cable line to cover both NACS and J1772 connector standards, letting electric vehicle owners extend their reach to chargers regardless of plug type. The move follows the industry's ongoing shift toward the NACS standard, with many drivers still using J1772 equipment and looking for flexible charging accessories that work across both systems.

Malaysian EV charging provider ChargeSini has deployed a 120kW DC fast charger at the BHPetrol station on Lebuh SPA in Melaka. The addition gives electric vehicle drivers in the state another high-speed charging option along a fuelling station location, part of the ongoing expansion of Malaysia's public charging network. Coverage of the rollout has appeared on local tech and motoring outlets.
