Only 16% of U.S. DC fast-charging stations meet federal NEVI standards, open data shows

An analysis of every open public DC fast-charging station in the U.S. found that 2,545 of 15,926 stations, about 16%, meet the federal NEVI minimums. The data was drawn from the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center station locator and rebuilt daily by ChargingNear.me, which publishes it free under CC BY 4.0. Under the FHWA rule, a NEVI-grade station needs at least four CCS ports that can each deliver 150 kW simultaneously and must sit within one mile of a designated Alternative Fuel Corridor. The same analysis identified 878 highway stretches where fast chargers are more than 50 miles apart, 307 of them on designated corridors, with the longest gap being 376.6 miles on US-2 in Montana. The underlying files are available in CSV and JSON formats.
