What to know about charging in Roanoke

Roanoke runs a comparatively competitive public charging market: 13 distinct operators share its 29 locations, with ChargePoint Network the largest at 28% of sites. That diversity tends to keep pricing and uptime competitive but also makes corridor-style site selection more nuanced — drivers in Roanoke pick on power and amenity rather than defaulting to a single brand. The 8 DC fast locations average 138 kW, with the fastest site at 300 kW. That is a mid-power fleet by current US standards; 38% 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, 28% of Roanoke's public locations are DC fast and the rest serve longer-dwell Level 2 demand, with roughly 27 DC fast ports across the city. EV Data Map scores any Roanoke 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 Roanoke specifically, our model accounts for local commute corridors, nearby interstate and US-highway traffic, the existing footprint of 8 DC fast and 21 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.
