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.

How much of I-76 in Colorado meets the NEVI 50-mile rule?
As of our daily build on November 3, 2026, 122.1 of 180.8 designated miles between I-70 in Arvada and the Nebraska line meet it: there, NEVI-grade stations are 50 miles apart or less. NEVI-grade means at least four CCS ports at 150 kW each (23 CFR 680.106, February 28, 2023), within 1 mile of I-76. The 50 miles come from FHWA’s guidance of February 10, 2022, which Colorado’s NEVI plan keeps.
Is I-76 an Alternative Fuel Corridor for EVs?
Yes, in part: 180.8 of the corridor’s 183.8 miles are designated for electric vehicles in FHWA’s Alternative Fuel Corridors (Round 8, January 16, 2025): 21.7 miles corridor-ready and 159.2 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 I-76 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 I-76?
Yes. The CSV and JSON files have 14 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 I-76 between I-70 in Arvada and the Nebraska line, measured on CDOT’s highway lines. Mile points are CDOT’s, which Colorado also uses to number I-76’s exits; the exit shown is the nearest numbered exit in OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors). 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.
