Data and Tools

EV-Charging Analytics Reporting Tool

Directed by the Federal Highway Administration, the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is developing the Electric Vehicle Charging Analytics and Reporting Tool (EV-ChART), which will be the centralized hub for collecting the data required in 23 CFR 680.112. EV-ChART is scheduled to launch in early 2024.

Cybersecurity Resources

The Joint Office worked with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory to develop sample cybersecurity procurement clauses for states and EVSE purchasers to modify for use in requests for proposals and electric vehicle service provider contracts.

Network and Environmental Data

These resources help transportation stakeholders in understanding external factors to support EV charging infrastructure deployment.

• 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit: Assess if your home, business, or facility is in an eligible location for tax credits that could save up to 30% off the cost of installing EV charging infrastructure
• Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Emissions Tool: Assess estimated emissions reductions from EV charging infrastructure along designated alternative fuel corridors
• Utility Finder (U-Finder): A networking tool for EV charging infrastructure installation that helps states, communities, and fleets by providing lists of local utility partners and incentives
• Laws and Incentives: Federal and state laws and incentives from the Alternative Fuels Data Center related to alternative fuels and vehicles, air quality, fuel efficiency, and other transportation-related topics
• Clean Cities and Communities: Local alternative fuel and transportation experts funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy
• Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS): Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on fatal traffic crashes in the United States
• Cybersecurity Framework: Guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risk
• Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS): Public road inventory information from the Federal Highway Administration
• Electric Vehicle Registration Counts by State: Map and data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center showing the density of light-duty vehicles per state based on registration counts and a trend over time

Maps of Station Locations and Corridors

These maps and data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center provide valuable resources that can assist in the deployment of EV charging infrastructure.

• EV Charging Stations: Filter by charging level, access type, and station status
• EV Charging Corridors: View EV charging corridors designated by the Federal Highway Administration and measure the distance between stations that meet the criteria for corridors
• Station Data for Alternative Fuel Corridors: Explore EV charging stations along alternative fuel corridors with a power output of at least 150 kW and four charging ports

Modeling Tools

These resources provide modeling expertise and tools for planning charging locations, designing charging stations, and performing financial analysis.

• Caldera Simulation Platform: Software from Idaho National Laboratory that models how EV chargers draw power from the grid
• EVI-X Modeling Suite: A suite of tools from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that informs the planning and development of large-scale EV charging infrastructure deployments—from the regional, state, and national levels to site and facility operations. Tools are available for network planning, including community charging, long-distance driving, and ride sourcing, as well as site design and financial analysis.

Community Impact and Emissions Tools

These resources help transportation stakeholders understand community impact and emissions considerations.
