What to know about charging in Sylmar

In Sylmar, California, electric vehicle charging is characterized by a strong reliance on the AMPUP network, which dominates with 60% of the 10 public charging sites. This creates a concentrated ecosystem where uptime and pricing are influenced largely by a single operator, a key consideration for potential site developers. The presence of just one DC fast charger averaging a robust 350 kW signifies an ultra-fast charging option that could entice drivers in navigation apps, as all local fast-charging stations exceed 150 kW. However, with 90% of the charging infrastructure consisting of Level 2 options, there exists a significant opportunity to meet longer-stay EV demands in the area. This nuanced mix of charging solutions highlights the importance of strategic placement to capture both fast and longer-term charging needs.

How profitability scores work

Every score on EV Data Map blends location demand, competition and operating economics into a single 0–100 number. Demand is modeled from registered EV count, commute and through-traffic patterns, daytime worker population, retail and hospitality footprint, and tourism inflows. Competition uses the count and quality of nearby existing chargers — including DC fast power, network reliability and dwell-fit. Operating economics include estimated electricity tariffs, demand-charge exposure, expected utilization, and capital cost for the recommended hardware mix.

For Sylmar specifically, our model accounts for local commute corridors, nearby interstate and US-highway traffic, the existing footprint of 1 DC fast and 9 Level 2 sites, and the typical dwell profile of the surrounding land use. The result is a per-address score plus a recommended configuration — number of stalls, target power level and network — that maximises projected revenue.
