What to know about charging in Crested Butte

Crested Butte, Colorado, presents a unique charging landscape characterized by a strong reliance on ChargePoint Network, which operates 70% of the city's 10 public charging locations. With only one DC fast charger averaging 63 kW and no sites exceeding this power level, there exists a significant opportunity for new entrants offering higher-capacity chargers. The current mix of charging options, with just 10% fast charging and a predominance of longer-dwell Level 2 stations, creates a specific demand profile that site developers must consider. This scenario suggests that innovative operators can address unmet needs in both power and convenience, thereby capitalizing on the deficiencies of the existing network while aligning with regional commuter patterns.

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 Crested Butte specifically, our model accounts for local commute corridors, nearby interstate and US-highway traffic, the existing footprint of 1 DC fast and 10 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.
