  • Key Findings: 
    • Three main factors could affect the financial viability of charging stations: consumers’ willingness to pay, the amount and type of infrastructure needed for a robust charging market, and that the locations that investors choose to place charging stations in a state. While there are challenges to the business case for charging infrastructure due to high upfront costs of equipment and installation, and demand uncertainty for charging services, public interventions, like grants, low-interest loans, and vehicle purchase incentives, charging stations can achieve profitability within five years.
