Why Invest in EV Charging?
Sustainability ROI

-
When you combine the fuel-efficiency of EVs and the cost of electricity relative to that of gasoline, driving an EV is typically three or more times cheaper than driving a gasoline-powered vehicle.
-
Lifetime maintenance and repair costs for EVs are about half, compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
-
Electric vehicles (EVs) have no tailpipe emissions and typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging.
Loyalty ROI

-
Gen Z considers employer-sponsored benefits that reward sustainable practices (like providing EV chargers) “extremely important” in their selection of where to work.
-
4 out of 5 EV owners consider charger availability when selecting a retail destination.
-
88% of EV owners consider charger availability when apartment/condo hunting.
Technological ROI

-
Median all-electric vehicle driving range is currently 222.1 (highway) and 248.9 (city) according to the U.S. EPA. Many models exceed 300 miles per charge.
-
608,000 new EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2021.
-
Electrified vehicles accounted for 9.7% of all vehicle sales last year
