Tool Sprawl Risk Audit — EV Charging Infrastructure

Find out how much spreadsheet and SaaS sprawl is costing EV Charging Infrastructure — and where a purpose-built internal tool pays off.

Signs of tool sprawl in 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.
NEVI funding requirements (95% uptime, payment interoperability, accessibility) are operational obligations most networks are not yet built to meet.

Source of Truth

Whether your operational data lives in one place or is scattered across tools.

1.Where does your core operational data live?

2.How many tools/spreadsheets hold 'the truth' for one workflow?
