EV Data Map is an EVSE and DC Fast Charger location analyzer that scores every potential charging site in the United States from 0 to 100 for DC Fast Charger ROI, combining EV ownership density, daytime population, traffic, demographics, nearby competing chargers, dwell-time characteristics of surrounding land use, and grid capacity. Use the analyzer below to enter any address in Ankeny and receive an instant ROI score, demand projection, and recommended charger configuration.

What to know about charging in Ankeny

Ankeny runs a comparatively competitive public charging market: 6 distinct operators share its 10 locations, with ChargePoint Network the largest at 40% of sites. That diversity tends to keep pricing and uptime competitive but also makes corridor-style site selection more nuanced — drivers in Ankeny pick on power and amenity rather than defaulting to a single brand. The 5 DC fast locations average 144 kW, with the fastest site at 180 kW. That is a mid-power fleet by current US standards; 60% of DC fast sites are 150 kW-class or higher. New entrants pricing around 150–350 kW hardware will sit at the top of the local power curve, which matters for driver selection in nav apps. By mix, 50% of Ankeny's public locations are DC fast and the rest serve longer-dwell Level 2 demand, with roughly 14 DC fast ports across the city. EV Data Map scores any Ankeny address against this footprint and the surrounding traffic, demographics and grid context to surface the gaps worth filling first.

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 Ankeny specifically, our model accounts for local commute corridors, nearby interstate and US-highway traffic, the existing footprint of 5 DC fast and 5 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.
