Cost of Manual Work — EV Charging Infrastructure

See what repetitive manual work is costing EV Charging Infrastructure teams each year — where station utilization is the dominant unit-economics variable — most public chargers run well below the 15-20% utilization required for site-level profitability, and the playbook to lift utilization is poorly understood.

What this means for EV Charging Infrastructure

  • Station utilization is the dominant unit-economics variable — most public chargers run well below the 15-20% utilization required for site-level profitability, and the playbook to lift utilization is poorly understood.
  • Charger uptime is a brand-and-trust crisis — third-party studies have found 20-30% of US public DC fast chargers non-functional at any given moment, and drivers remember the broken experience long after the working ones.
  • Grid impact and demand-charge exposure can flip a profitable site to a loss-making one — a single high-power session at the wrong moment can dominate the monthly demand charge.

Where it pays to act

  • AI-driven site selection — demand modeling that combines traffic data, EV registrations, dwell-time potential, and grid capacity to pick high-utilization sites.
  • Predictive maintenance on charger hardware — failure prediction from telemetry to lift uptime above the NEVI 95% bar.
