EV Charging Infrastructure Economics: What Investors Need to Know
Power requirements, grid impact, and commercial returns for different charging speeds and site typologies.
The economics of EV charging vary more by site typology than by hardware brand. Utilisation, dwell time, and grid headroom drive returns far more than headline charger power.
Site typology sets the model
Destination and workplace sites reward AC 7–22 kW at scale, where dwell time is long and capex per bay is low.
Rapid and ultra-rapid DC sites (50 kW–350 kW) suit forecourts, transit corridors, and depot hubs. Grid capacity and DNO reinforcement dominate the capex conversation.
Depot charging for return-to-base fleets is a different asset class again — the priority is orchestrated, scheduled charging that stays inside a fixed capacity envelope.
Ownership models
We deliver under EPC, developer-funded, or third-party financed models. We can also support CPPA and PPA-backed structures for solar and storage projects that stack behind the charging load.
