U.S. EV Charging Locator Will Soon Display Cost, Charge Power

The U.S. Department of Energy currently has an EV charging station locator tool that tracks the number of EVs and chargers deployed by federal agencies. The interface already has an app version for both Apple iOS and Android. This extension will allow the Alternative Fuel Stations API to become more than just a tool for EV owners. As states continue to submit charging plans for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, the locator tool will help keep tabs on the installation of those chargers and provide the charging cost and charging speed (power output) for each publicly accessible charger.

“The White House also spotlighted a wide range of recent EV investments in the public and private sectors, including First Student’s plan to transition 30,000 fossil-fuel-powered school buses to electric by 2035. Trane Technologies plans to transition its entire 8,000-vehicle fleet to EVs by 2030, and Siemens plans to make its 10,000-vehicle fleet all-EV by 2030. Hertz plans to greatly expand its EV rentals and fleet as well.”
