Where public EV charging can start
A screening of 12 public sites (libraries, government centers, a commuter garage and a training center) for starter EV charging now, with room to grow later.
Summary
Port totals follow the study's port plan. The Public Safety Training Center's 2 starter ports are counted as a placeholder, not a recommendation.
Top candidates
All SitesThe three highest-ranked sites. Scores run from 0 to 100; ports are starter ports now and future-ready ports later.

What the results say
Strongest signals
-
Fairfax County Government Center The strongest Tier 1 signal, ranked first.
-
City of Fairfax Regional Library The other Tier 1 signal, close behind.
-
Bull Run Library The strongest Prince William library.
Review first
-
Neabsco-Potomac Commuter Garage High review because of its peak waits: 42.4 minutes at peak (mean 8.0). Settle electrical and AHJ questions before any expansion.
Monitor
-
Potomac Library Nearby charging supply is already high. Monitor rather than expand now.
-
Haymarket Gainesville Library Lower current readiness. A small pilot or monitoring comes before larger investment.
Do not advance
-
Prince William County Public Safety Training Center Limited public access. Hold any public buildout unless the public-access or fleet-use case changes.
The ranking changed
- Earlier legacy_v2 ranking FFX002 first at 58.8
- Now, canonical milestone2_v3 ranking FFX004 first at 53.4, FFX002 second at 51.8
The canonical model scores each site against fixed anchors instead of against the other sites. The change is recorded here, not made silently. Neither order is a feasibility finding.
