How profitability scores work in Pennsylvania

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 Pennsylvania the model accounts for the existing footprint of 414 DC fast and 1,634 Level 2 sites distributed across 412 cities, plus interstate corridor traffic and state-specific incentive programs such as NEVI awards.
