ChargingNear.me publishes a daily refreshed, openly licensed collection of U.S. public EV-charging data: 20 downloadable CSV and JSON files covering 58,164 locations and 273,246 ports. Its headline finding is that 2,547 of 15,927 open public DC fast-charging stations - about 16% - meet all three federal NEVI station minimums: at least four CCS ports, each capable of 150 kW, and a location within one mile of a designated corridor. In Colorado, 84 of 499 stations qualify. The data also identifies 881 highway stretches where open public fast chargers are more than 50 miles apart, including 22 in Colorado. The 50-mile benchmark comes from earlier federal guidance; later guidance leaves spacing to states, while Colorado retains the target.
The files also cover corridor mileage, station inventories, charging growth by state and Colorado county, access by county, charging per resident and per EV, NACS-equipped non-Tesla fast chargers, and selected highway routes. Highway-gap calculations combine federal road and corridor maps with Department of Energy station listings, counting chargers within one straight-line mile of a road and measuring gaps along the highway. The collection explains its sources and methods and flags limitations: straight-line proximity does not show driving distance from an exit, and a station listed as open may be temporarily out of service. The site rebuilds the data daily, provides version histories, and licenses its own files under CC BY 4.0; station facts from the federal database are public domain.
