Energy infrastructure
We measure parking geometry, the trench run from stall to service entrance, three-phase at the frontage, battery setback envelopes and dwell-time land use, then rank the host sites. The first 3 are free.
Free preview: 3 properties, delivered 3 business days after we confirm your territory. No card, no call.
Sec. 01 — The decision
No room for the battery inside the setbacks, 600 feet of trench to the switchgear, single-phase frontage, eight-minute dwell. All of that is visible before an engineer bills an hour.
See how the research worksSec. 02 — Evidence
Each is measurable from imagery, parcel geometry or published data, and the most important boundary here is that none of it confirms electrical capacity.
| Indicator | Where it comes from | What it settles — and what it does not |
|---|---|---|
| Parking stall count and geometry | Aerial imagery striping, drive-aisle widths, parcel boundaries | Counts stalls, measures aisle widths and identifies where a charging bank fits without taking stalls the tenant needs. It does not say which stalls the host controls or a lease commits. |
| Trench run to the service entrance | Visible transformer pad, switchgear, meter bank and panel locations, measured against stall clusters | Estimates conduit and trenching distance in feet, usually the largest civil line item and the reason good sites die. It does not size conductors or reveal what is already under the pavement. |
| Three-phase at the frontage | Overhead line configuration in imagery, published utility distribution layers where available | Indicates whether three-phase service is plausibly on the street rather than a block away. It does not confirm hosting capacity, transformer loading, upgrade cost or queue position. |
| Battery siting envelope | Parcel setbacks, distance from pad to lot lines and building openings, visible fire-apparatus routes | Shows whether a compliant enclosure envelope with NFPA 855-style separation plausibly exists. The authority having jurisdiction makes the determination, and local amendments vary widely. |
| Dwell-time land use | Assessor use code, gross building area, business listings at the address | Separates ten-minute stops from two-hour and overnight dwell, which sets port counts and the Level 2 versus DC fast mix. It is a proxy for dwell, not a measurement of it. |
| Corridor traffic context | State DOT annual average daily traffic segments, interchange proximity, highway classification | Supports corridor fast-charging siting with published, dated traffic volumes on the adjacent segments. AADT is not charging demand, and it says nothing about EV share. |
| Fleet depot indicators | Imagery: bay doors, trailer and van parking rows, yard fencing, gate placement | Identifies properties operating as depots, where return-to-base economics work and one decision-maker exists. It does not identify the operator's electrification timeline. |
| Site control | Assessor owner of record, parcel boundaries, owner mailing address | Identifies who owns the dirt and whether the operating business is owner or tenant. Ground leases, easements and reciprocal access agreements surface only in title work. |
| Program and incentive geography | Published corridor designations, state and utility program service areas, mapped community geographies | Screens whether a site sits inside a geography where a named funding program is available. Eligibility geography is not an award, and rules change between funding rounds. |
Most utilities publish nothing below the substation. Where a hosting-capacity map exists we cite it and its refresh date; interconnection cost and timeline come only from a pre-application report.
Sec. 03 — The engagement
Screening is cheap and engineering is not, so the expensive work starts at the top of a list.
Properties ordered against your deployment model, with address, parcel identifier and the constraint that set the rank.
Stall counts, aisle widths, candidate bank placements, ADA stall locations and circulation notes from current imagery.
Visible transformer, switchgear and meter locations, the estimated trench run, and the frontage service configuration.
Whether a compliant enclosure footprint fits inside setbacks, with the separation distances and fire access route measured.
Use code, tenant mix, corridor traffic and depot indicators, plus the utility and title questions outstanding per site.
Sec. 04 — Limits
Nothing below the line can be inferred from any public dataset, and we do not try.
Sec. 05 — Questions
No, and this is the most important limitation on the page. A high rank means the site passed the physical screen, so it is worth a pre-application fee; only the utility answers the capacity question.
Yes, and depot screening is among the cleaner applications, because bay doors, trailer rows, yard fencing and lot geometry all show on imagery. The screen can be shaped around logistics, transit, municipal or multifamily properties.
Yes, as a physical and geographic screen: whether a compliant enclosure envelope fits inside the setbacks with a fire-apparatus route. Final feasibility rests with the AHJ, the interconnection study and land rights.
Yes. A multi-territory scope applies one measurement framework across metros, and the report documents where source coverage differs rather than letting the ranking imply equal confidence.
