What to know about charging in Hershey

Hershey, Pennsylvania, presents a unique landscape for EV charging with its diverse offering of 12 public locations, all utilizing Level 2 charging, leaving a notable gap in DC fast charging infrastructure. With no fast chargers in sight, drivers seeking quick power-ups must venture beyond the city limits, highlighting a significant market opportunity for developers. The presence of five distinct charging networks, led by ChargePoint at half of the sites, ensures competitive pricing and availability. However, this variety also means that site selection is more complex, with users prioritizing specific features and services. As Hershey establishes its EV charging footprint, addressing the lack of DC fast options could better serve the growing number of electric vehicles in the area.

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 Hershey specifically, our model accounts for local commute corridors, nearby interstate and US-highway traffic, the existing footprint of 0 DC fast and 12 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.
