Ensuring Sustainable ROI for EV Charging
There have been two predominant challenges when it comes to EV infrastructure. EV adoption has been limited by EV infrastructure and infrastructure has been hindered by the lack of demand or the ability to see where there are revenue opportunities. Changes in EV technology put EVs in a price range that make them more accessible for drivers which has, in turn, increased the demand for infrastructure.
Now, technology is catching up on the infrastructure side and that’s improving the charging experience for everyone involved, from drivers to station owners/hosts. Public sector incentives are driving much of this change; however, the private sector needs to invest more as well. Understandably, reliability is table stakes to ensure the “vending machine” is up and running. In this session, you’ll walk away with real-world strategies and tactics to deliver sustainable ROI for EV charging business models.
Key Takeaways include:
- Learn how public sector incentives are helping to drive EV charger adoption, however, the private sector needs to invest more to drive high-density EV charger availability.
- Learn the key factors, including AI (Artificial Intelligence) for today’s open standard networks that drive reliability to ensure the “vending machine” is up and running.
- Examine critical aspects of EV charging to deliver sustainable business models.
- Learn how to expand EV charging revenue streams through OOH (Out of Home) and Mobile advertising to ensure a sustainable business plan.
