Mile points are CDOT’s. Miles are measured along the highway; each charger can be up to 2 miles off it. The Working-Now Score (0–100) is how likely a station is to work right now.
How much of CO-82 meets the NEVI 50-mile rule?
0.0 of 41.1 designated miles of CO-82 between I-70 in Glenwood Springs and Aspen meet the 50-mile rule today; 41.1 miles do not. Built November 3, 2026 from AFDC’s port-by-port listings.
| CDOT mile points | Miles here | Designated | 50-mile rule | Between |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0 to 42.0 | 42.0 | 41.1 | Does not meet | Target T2029 (Glenwood Springs, CO), Glenwood Springs to where CO-82 meets US-24 (84.0 miles in all) |
A stretch meets the rule when NEVI-grade stations are 50 miles apart or less along the highway. NEVI-grade means at least four CCS ports that can each deliver 150 kW at once (23 CFR 680.106), within 1 mile of the highway. The 50 miles come from FHWA’s NEVI guidance of February 10, 2022; FHWA’s August 11, 2025 guidance leaves spacing to each state, and Colorado’s NEVI plan keeps 50 miles. 23 CFR part 680 itself sets no spacing. Totals count only miles FHWA has designated as Alternative Fuel Corridor, where the rule applies. A stretch is measured between NEVI-grade stations, which can sit outside this corridor’s ends. Every station’s result and the reason it fails are in the NEVI-grade station file.
Which NEVI-funded fast chargers are coming to CO-82?
The Colorado Energy Office has awarded federal NEVI funds to 1 fast-charging site within 2 miles of CO-82 between I-70 in Glenwood Springs and Aspen that its award list still shows as in progress. They are planned, not open.

How does winter affect an EV on CO-82?
- Cold: in AAA’s tests (AAA, February 7, 2019), at 20°F with the heater on, electric cars lost 41 percent of their range on average: 100 miles of range became about 59.
- Climb: from 5,739 feet at I-70 in Glenwood Springs to 8,003 feet at CO-82 mile 42.0, the corridor’s highest point (USGS), is a climb of 2,264 feet. Lifting a 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) car that high takes at least 3.8 kWh (mass × gravity × height), before drivetrain losses. Some comes back on the way down through regenerative braking.
- Check your car: Will my EV make it from Glenwood Springs to Aspen? and Will my EV make it from Denver to Aspen? and Will my EV make it from Vail to Aspen? run your car, battery and the forecast over the route.
Where can I check CO-82 road conditions?
- COtrip (cotrip.org): CDOT’s road-conditions site, where closures and active traction and chain laws are posted.
- Colorado’s Traction and Chain Laws: what CDOT requires on your tires when a traction or chain law is in effect.

How much of CO-82 in Colorado meets the NEVI 50-mile rule?
As of our daily build on November 3, 2026, 0.0 of 41.1 designated miles between I-70 in Glenwood Springs and Aspen meet it: there, NEVI-grade stations are 50 miles apart or less.

The 50 miles come from FHWA’s guidance of February 10, 2022, which Colorado’s NEVI plan keeps.
Is CO-82 an Alternative Fuel Corridor for EVs?
Yes, in part: 41.1 of the corridor’s 41.9 miles are designated for electric vehicles in FHWA’s Alternative Fuel Corridors (Round 8, January 16, 2025): 0.0 miles corridor-ready and 41.1 miles corridor-pending. The NEVI 50-mile rule applies on designated miles.
How much does cold weather reduce EV range?
In AAA’s tests (February 7, 2019), at 20°F with the heater on, electric cars’ range fell by 41 percent on average. That turns 100 miles of range into about 59.
How are the distances on this page measured?
Along CO-82 itself, on CDOT’s line for the highway, between the points where each charger is closest to it. Each charger is also up to 2 miles off the highway, so allow for the drive to and from it.
Can I download the list of fast chargers on CO-82?
Yes. The CSV and JSON files have 8 rows with CDOT mile points, distances, ports and power, rebuilt every day. They are free to reuse with credit; the open data page has the column dictionary and the citation.
How is this list made?
We read every public DC fast charging location in our live station data and keep those within 2 miles of CO-82 between I-70 in Glenwood Springs and Aspen, measured on CDOT’s highway lines. Mile points are CDOT’s. Gaps count every fast charger, Tesla Superchargers included. The Working-Now Score (0–100) is how likely a station is to work right now, from its listed status, how recently it was confirmed and drivers’ check-ins in the last 30 days (how the score works). The full method, for every corridor and file, is on our methodology page.
