Where Do EV Drivers Want to Charge? Exploring USA/Canada DCFC Site Categories | Coast-to-Coast EVs 61

from Coast to Coast EVs

DC fast-charging deployments continue to set records, with almost 16,000 distinct locations across the US and Canada for EV drivers to choose from as we approach mid-2026. But how many of those would you actually want to charge with?Listings show that almost one-quarter of those locations are at auto dealers, which is an immediate no for many EV drivers (years of low power, blocked chargers, and extortionate pricing tend to grind you down). Then strip out low-power sites, workplace chargers, or other less appealing options, and the numbers get much smaller.In edition 61 of Coast-to-Coast EVs WisconsEV's -- http://youtube.com/@WisconsEV -- Jay Williams returns to the show to discuss the kind of places we want to charge, as Eric, Walter, and Steve, also answer the question for our respective regions: DCFC is expanding, but is it in the right places?We unpack how the fast-charging landscape in the US and Canada breaks out by category, identify regional differences, get opinions and insights from viewers across the continent, and then assess where we need DCFC to accelerate next. More metro area charging hubs? Medium-powered options at your favorite grocery store? 24kW units at visitor centers for all National Parks? The latest DCFC hardware at big box stores across the US? Check out this episode to break out where fast charging is most common across the US and Canada, and what we need to see next to energize the type of sites where EV drivers want to, rather than have to, charge.
