What to know about charging in Hershey

Hershey offers a unique public charging landscape characterized by a mix of five distinct operators across 12 Level 2 charging locations, all managed without any DC fast charging options. The dominance of ChargePoint Network, which operates half of these sites, fosters competitive pricing and uptime, providing drivers with a choice based on specific needs, such as power levels and amenities. However, the absence of DC fast chargers means that drivers seeking a quick recharge currently need to venture outside the city. This creates a significant opportunity for site developers to meet the unfulfilled demand for rapid charging solutions, allowing Hershey to enhance its attractiveness as an EV-friendly destination while retaining local drivers.

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.
