Replica’s comprehensive data shows how mobility, people, and land use interact. These insights give you the power to plan effective, efficient, and equitable EV charging networks.
Leverage income and demographic filters to better serve disadvantaged communities.
Meet drivers where they travel and identify gaps in your network.
See where people do the most driving, and why.
Identify places with limited at-home charging, or an abundance of retail parking.
The federal government’s Electric Vehicle Charging Action Plan calls for a national network of 500,000 publicly accessible EV chargers in eight years. As of January 2022 there are almost 113,600. Florida has been crafting its Electric Vehicle Roadmap with hurricane evacuations in mind, weighing how to prioritize investments that can serve residents well on typical days and be useful during evacuations.
To better understand the state of access to existing and planned EV chargers along Florida’s evacuation routes, Replica mapped it out.
The map shows a one-mile buffer zone around the I-10 and I-75 evacuation routes, plus the locations of Florida’s DC fast chargers, which can provide a full charge in about 30 minutes, depending on the type of vehicle. Viewers can also toggle on layers to see the locations of slower EV chargers (Level 1 and Level 2) and geographies for disadvantaged communities as defined by the Justice40 initiative.
Replica can be leveraged to inform public policy–through an equity lens–regarding the siting of EV charging stations. The analysis focused on Los Angeles County, CA and included consideration for the accessibility of public EV chargers to low-income households and in areas with relatively high VMT per capita.
Replica focused on the availability of DC Fast Chargers in Illinois relative to the travel patterns of residents in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs), based on the interim definition from USDOT.
Equitable EV Infrastructure Planning in Oakland . The Justice40 DACs are the census tracts that have been designated by the federal government to receive 40% of all infrastructure funding from the federal infrastructure bill. When it comes to siting EV infrastructure, we wanted to understand the travel behavior of these residents — not just their home locations. This data is useful for future planning purposes.
