Utility queue proxy for EV charger site selection

Hey r/energy,

Building nationwide "Sweet Spot" dataset for EV chargers along highways.

**Current methodology (Illinois I-80):**

– NEVI stations (EVChart)

– ComEd Grid Queue Proxy (MW pending)

– Quality Tier: High/Medium/Low ranking

**Key questions for operators/fleets:**

1. Grid Queue MW vs substation utilization – priority metric?

2. NEVI compliance signals you track?

3. Next corridor after I-80? (I-95? I-10?)

Planning: I-80 (6 states) → I-95 (10 states) → I-10 (8 states).

What gaps in current location data hurt your operations?

Thanks!
