What Making Money on EV Charging Looks like

Episode 133

Rohan Puri, CEO of Stable Auto joins the show today to talk about the complex world of installing public EV charging stations, a process that requires a significant capital investment (and some street smarts)! Rohan and I talked about the intricacies of determining the best locations for public charging stations, considering not just areas with high EV adoption rates but also the local electricity costs, expected demand, and the logistics of power and permits. Our discussion also challenges the common approach of placing chargers in areas with high EV registration, highlighting how actual usage patterns present a better metric for station placement and the importance of selecting strong locations and appropriately pricing charging services. If you’re a charge point operator or thinking of becoming one in the future, this episode is definitely for you!
