How profitability scores work in Colorado

Every score on EV Data Map blends location demand, competition and operating economics into a single 0–100 number. Demand inputs include the 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 — 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 Colorado the model accounts for the existing footprint of 494 DC fast and 2,346 Level 2 sites distributed across 208 cities, plus interstate corridor traffic and state-specific incentive programs such as NEVI awards.

Frequently asked questions

How many EV charging stations are in Colorado?
There are 2,842 public electric vehicle charging locations across Colorado operating 7,531 individual chargers — 494 DC fast locations and 2,346 Level 2 locations.
Which city in Colorado has the most EV chargers?
