Alternative Fuel Station Locations in New York State

Alternative Fuel Stations in New York is a dataset of station locations for fuels like electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, biodiesel, and ethanol. The U.S. Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory collects and maintains the national database, with this extract focused on New York. Data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map station density by fuel type (e.g., electric, hydrogen) to identify infrastructure gaps across New York counties.
• Analyze the correlation between station locations (geospatial points) and population centers or major highways for site planning.
• Forecast demand for electric vehicle charging by examining the count of charging ports available per station point.
• Compare the prevalence of different fuel types (biodiesel, natural gas, ethanol) to track adoption trends in the state.

Strengths

• Nationwide data collection by the U.S. Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory provides authoritative sourcing.
• Includes specific metrics like the number of charging ports per electric vehicle station.
• Data is current, with a recorded update in April 2026.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count for New York are unknown.
• A station is represented as a single point regardless of the number of fuel dispensers, which may obscure capacity details.
• Data may have geographic bias if station reporting is inconsistent across regions.
