Analysis of Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Site Types Across the Carolinas

Abstract

Direct current (DC) fast charging for electric vehicles (EVs) can generally charge them in less than an hour (DOE n.d.). These charging ports are found at a variety of places with different amenities and use cases. There is limited open data analysis on EV charging port site locations. This analysis provides visibility into a key feature of DC fast charging in the Carolinas by site type. We propose this methodology to inform EV drivers, industry service providers, and policymakers about site amenities, use cases, and development trends over time.
