ChargePoint , on this subject , he delves into some of the necessary points that govern business charging decisions and sheds a light on how it integrates EVs into the energy ecosystem .
TS : What makes charging such a vital component of any home or business infrastructure ?
JP : With growing environmental pressures and government policies , EVs are going
to become increasingly popular among consumers . Research from BloombergNEF predicted that global passenger EV sales are set to increase by 93 % over the next three years , meaning that the demand for EV infrastructure is also likely to soar .
Whether at work or at home , EV users need somewhere to charge their vehicle when it is parked . For an EV driver who doesn ’ t have access to a charger near their home , charging at work becomes essential . The provision of charging at a retail or hospitality establishment is already a deciding factor for EV drivers , and as their numbers increase it will become a critical factor not only for drivers , but also for these establishments to continue to attract customers . energydigital . com 81
