EV charging site selection in Brisbane

Where should the next charger in Brisbane go? We score every square kilometre of the Brisbane area against real traffic counts, ABS census demographics and existing charger coverage — then rank the businesses with car parks that could host one. The numbers below are from our current database, not a brochure.

18

Charging blackspots

Cells with proven demand and no charger within reach, inside 25 km of the CBD

2,471

Candidate host venues

Pubs, shopping centres, supermarkets and servos with mapped customer parking

106

Existing chargers

What the Brisbane data says

Across the 904 analysis cells within 25 km of central Brisbane, covering roughly 1,116,121 residents, 18 score as EV charging blackspots — places where traffic, population, income and nearby venues all point to demand, and yet the nearest charger is far enough away that drivers are underserved.

There are 2,471 candidate host venues in the same area against 106 existing chargers — about 4.3 chargers per 100 venues that could plausibly host one. The gap between those two numbers is the opportunity, and it is not evenly spread: the map shows exactly which end of town it sits in.

How the scoring works

Every Brisbane location is scored the same way as everywhere else in Australia: Getis-Ord Gi* hotspot statistics on demand, an OLS demand-gap regression, and a machine-learnt suitability model, all computed over open government data. Nothing is hand-tuned per city — which is what makes the comparison between Brisbane and anywhere else meaningful.
