Would a fast charger pay for itself here?

Who would charge here. 546,141 people in the county × 4.2 EVs per 1,000 statewide = 2,288 electric cars nearby. Each uses about 70 kWh a week and buys 15% of it at public fast chargers → 24,027 kWh a week, or 686.5 stops a week at 35 kWh a stop. Visitors: 2,400,000 a year, 95.0% of them arriving by air; the rest own EVs at the US rate of 10.4 per 1,000 → 1,248 EV parties a year, half of whom charge in town → 12.0 stops a week. Passing highway traffic: none assumed (we have no traffic count). Split evenly with the 13 fast-charging sites already within 10 miles → 7.1 stops a day.

The money. 7.1 stops × 35.0 kWh × 365 = 91,054 kWh a year, sold at 60¢ and bought at 9.2¢. Revenue $54,633; electricity −$8,331; card fees −$1,639; demand charges −$28,800; network −$1,000; maintenance −$7,600; ground rent −$6,138 (rent index 1.02); insurance −$1,500. Net −$376 a year. Break-even is 10.2 stops a day once the $190,000 build is written off over 10 years. Payback: never — the site loses money every year.

Who would charge here. 4,203 people in the county × 4.0 EVs per 1,000 statewide = 17 electric cars nearby. Each uses about 70 kWh a week and buys 15% of it at public fast chargers → 178 kWh a week, or 5.1 stops a week at 35 kWh a stop. Visitors: 25,000 a year, 0.0% of them arriving by air; the rest own EVs at the US rate of 10.4 per 1,000 → 260 EV parties a year, half of whom charge in town → 2.5 stops a week. Passing highway traffic: none assumed (we have no traffic count). Split evenly with the 0 fast-charging sites already within 10 miles → 1.1 stops a day.

The money. 1.1 stops × 38.5 kWh (cold-month uplift applied) × 365 = 15,220 kWh a year, sold at 42¢ and bought at 13.5¢. Revenue $6,392; electricity −$2,049; card fees −$192; demand charges −$28,800; network −$1,000; maintenance −$7,600; ground rent −$2,682 (rent index 0.45); insurance −$1,500. Net −$37,430 a year. Break-even is 15.6 stops a day once the $190,000 build is written off over 10 years. Payback: never — the site loses money every year.
