Leveraging Investments in Electric Vehicle
In February, New York announced a $60-million investment in charging stations. Because the future of federal investments in charging
EV chargers in busy commercial areas, near highways, or paired with retail often outperform those in remote or residential-only areas. The more cars flowing through, the faster you reach ROI. Stations that combine charging with other revenue streams (retail, ads, convenience stores) can maximize profitability more easily.
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
Additional revenue streams: Some of the best-performing EV charging stations earn additional income from on-site retail, ads, or fleet contracts. In short, EV charging can be a profitable business, but only if you manage your costs, find the right location, and keep chargers busy. Treat it like a real business, not a passive asset.
The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time.
