Tailored to your business model and local geography — not rigid industry dogmaThe criteria, weights, and deal breakers shown on this page represent a typical reference baseline. In practice, Cuespaces never enforces fixed formulas: your scorecard is synthesized dynamically around your brand's format, customer economics, and the local nuances of the intended market.
Example Fatal Filters

Example Deal Breakers for EV Fast Charging Hubs

These represent common deal-killing constraints. You can add, adjust, or replace deal breakers at any time to match your operating criteria.

01Example Filter

3-phase 480V utility connection proximity

Example fatal filter: DC fast chargers (150kW–350kW) require dedicated 3-phase high voltage.

02Example Filter

24/7 unrestricted public access & lighting

Example fatal filter: Gated or curfused lots fail public charging network uptime standards.

03Example Filter

Non-flood zone entitlement (FEMA 500-yr)

Example fatal filter: High-voltage pad-mounted switchgear cannot be permitted in flood plains.

Example Questions to Confirm on a Visit

A First Pass identifies what can be answered from remote data and compiles the critical questions that require physical verification on site.

What is the power company’s actual interconnection queue timeline?
Utility engineering reviews can add 6–14 months before transformer drop.
Is the host landlord willing to grant a long-term lease with dedicated easement?
Charging infrastructure capital investment requires long-term lease security.
What is nighttime foot traffic and lighting safety on the parcel?
Driver safety directly impacts charging station utilization after dark.
