What is the distance between each proposed station location and the end of an off-ramp, or highway intersection if there is no off-ramp, of the respective Alternative Fuel Corridor The proposed project must be within 1-mile driving distance from the off-ramp or highway intersection. Show that the proposed project will satisfy the distance requirement by attaching a screenshot showing the distance calculation from a commercially available mapping tool. Explain how each proposed EV charging station location will be easily accessible from the corridor and the degree to which it is visible from the corridor. The proposed EV charging station(s) must also not be sited at an existing or planned NEVI station from NEVI funding rounds 1-3.

Identify the make, model, and power levels of the DCFCs being deployed at each station, how many ports and CCS connectors each charger has, and why the chargers were chosen for the project, including any innovative or sustainability features. Note that each port must have a CCS connector, but may have another connector type in addition to CCS. If applicable, explain the reasons for deploying other connector types.

Note that another connector type may be used on the same port in addition to CCS but will not be a reimbursable cost or count toward match.
