The Problem
LIMITED
Charging Infrastructure
Current EV charging network is 70 miles apart. Primarily planned in cities and interstate highways, excluding rural, small cities and underserved areas.
SLOW
Charging Stations
Most EV chargers deployed today are Levels I and II, which are very slow and impractical for city fleets.
Current grid would cost billions to upgrade.
LEGACY
Payment System
Existing EV charging networks have multiple payment systems. Each vendor has its own proprietary app that caters only to their specific charging station.
.
SURGE
of Carbon Footprint
The Nature Conservancy suggests that the average carbon footprint for a U.S. citizen is 16 tons. This is one of the highest rates in the world, leading to new policies implemented to reduce carbon footprint
Limited Charging Infrastructure
As of 2020
By 2030
Public Investment: +500,000 Charging Stations (2020 U.S. infrastructure bill)
CURRENT STATE
- Charging stations are sponsored and deployed by a limited number of EV vendors on private properties or restricted public sites
- Current EV infrastructure is for Levels I & II stations requiring multi-billion-dollar grid upgrade for fast charging (Level III)
- Most EV chargers have limited outreach due to proprietary technology and support only Tesla vehicles
