RightSite’s Interactive U.S. Map Shows A Road Link of No More Than 150 Miles Between Two DCFC Stations

On July 29, 2026, James Lightfoot, CEO of RightSite, released an interactive map on his Linkedin account, showing the 13,850 DC fast-charging stations built between 2010 and 2026 in the United States.

On the map, every line is a road link of no more than 150 miles between two stations, drawn in the order they opened.

RightSite’s nationwide charging map illustrates just how far the U.S. EV charging network has evolved over the past decade and a half. The platform shows more than 13,850 DC fast-charging stations installed between 2010 and 2026, creating a network where drivers are rarely more than 150 miles from a fast charger. This growing infrastructure has made long-distance EV travel more practical than ever, reducing range anxiety and enabling road trips across much of the country with confidence. 

The expanding fast-charging footprint is also helping millions of drivers who do not have access to home charging, including apartment residents, renters, and urban households. As charging stations continue to spread along highways, in communities, and near everyday destinations, public charging is becoming an increasingly viable alternative to fueling at home, supporting broader EV adoption across a wider range of drivers. 

RightSite: Bringing Data-Driven Discipline to EV Charging Site Selection

The EV charging industry has a costly problem. Too many charging projects are approved based on assumptions, rough traffic counts, or optimistic forecasts, only to discover later that utilization is too low, electricity costs are too high, or incentives were overlooked. Every failed site slows the broader transition to electric transportation and makes future investment more difficult.

That is the challenge that RightSite is attempting to solve.

Rather than focusing on charger hardware, networking software, or station operations, RightSite concentrates on one of the most important stages of any charging project: determining whether a location is financially viable before construction begins. The company provides EV charging site intelligence designed to help property owners, developers, investors, fleets, and charging operators evaluate potential projects using verified utility rates, demand forecasts, funding opportunities, and long-term financial modeling.

According to the company, every site report is built around three fundamental questions. First, is the location financially viable? Second, what level of profit can realistically be expected over time? Third, what changes could improve project performance? Instead of presenting customers with complex spreadsheets, RightSite delivers a clear recommendation such as Go, Hold, or No-Go, supported by an eight-year financial model that estimates net present value, payback period, return on investment, and profitability.

One of the most notable aspects of the platform is its emphasis on verified data. Utility tariffs are confirmed directly with the serving utility and updated regularly. Demand projections are based on charging-session databases rather than simple traffic estimates. The system also identifies applicable state and federal incentive programs and incorporates them into the financial analysis.

This approach addresses a growing concern throughout the charging industry. As competition increases and government funding becomes more selective, site economics matter more than ever. Many charging projects fail not because EV adoption is weak, but because the wrong charger configuration, pricing strategy, or location was chosen. Industry discussions frequently highlight installation costs and utilization uncertainty as major barriers to successful deployment.

RightSite’s optimization tools are designed to address those challenges by allowing users to test different variables such as charger type, port count, and pricing structure. The platform can recalculate expected performance and reveal whether a project becomes more attractive with a different configuration.

As the EV charging market continues to mature, data-driven site selection is becoming increasingly important. While charging hardware often receives the most attention, the long-term success of a project frequently depends on decisions made long before the first charger is installed. Companies that can accurately identify profitable locations, understand local utility costs, and maximize available incentives may gain a significant advantage in an industry where margins remain under pressure.

For developers and property owners evaluating EV charging opportunities, the ability to understand site economics before committing capital could prove just as valuable as the charging equipment itself.
