The business case of electric vehicle quick charging—No more chicken or egg problem

One of the major problems slowing down electrical vehicle (EV) adoption is the lack of
sufficient infrastructure. We can often hear of the chicken or egg problem. But the charging
infrastructure problem is smaller than generally thought. By analysing the economics of EV
quick charging stations it can be shown that building and sustaining adequate EV charging
network does not require massive investments, and on the other hand, profitability of a
single charging station can be achieved with a moderate number of EVs due to high …
