EV Charging’s Future Called Into Question

According to Bumpy Road Ahead for EV Charging Market, from Renew-Grid.com:

Many public and private entities are reluctant to invest heavily in EV charging, seeing it as both risky and unnecessary. With much of the charging infrastructure in place today having been funded in part or whole by government funds, IMS Research says concern should be mounting for the future health of the EV charging industry, particularly when the government money is switched off.

. . . Large fleet operators are, arguably, first amongst early adopters of EVs. The U.S. Department of Defense recently announced plans to spend $20 million on 500 EVs. This follows announcements from DHL, Pacific Gas & Electric and TNT about plans to extend the electrification of their respective fleets . . . Parking garages also represent a prime opportunity for the EV charging industry. Indeed, much of the first wave of charging stations has been deployed in parking garages or at “on street” parking sites.
