EV Charging Infrastructure Deployment

Transportation electrification represents the most significant load growth opportunity utilities have seen in decades – a potential reversal of the flat or declining electricity sales that have challenged utility business models for years. However, this opportunity comes bundled with enormous complexity around infrastructure investment, deployment models, cost recovery, competitive positioning, and operational management.

For utility executives, EV charging infrastructure sits at the intersection of opportunity and uncertainty, requiring billions in upfront investment with unclear regulatory frameworks, evolving technology, and fundamental questions about utilities’ appropriate role in the charging ecosystem.
