THE FLEET IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE GROUND IT STANDS ON.

Evaluation Criteria
01
GRID CAPACITY
A 24-stall hub at 350 kW draws peak 2 MVA. Proximity to a substation is the first gate — sites beyond 2 km of a tie point often fail on upgrade cost alone.
02
ZONING CLASS
Fleet hubs classify as light-industrial or mixed-use. Jurisdictions with explicit AV-infrastructure codes (TX, AZ, NV) cut permit time by months.
03
DEMAND GEOMETRY
The hub must sit within a 6-minute deadhead of the demand centroid. Every extra minute is unpaid miles on every rotation.
04
LAND BASIS
Long-term ground lease beats purchase in year one. Hub land is an operating input, not an appreciating asset — keep the basis low.
