3 Categories of EV Charger Infrastructure Costs

What’s happening? We know EV chargers are happening, and as partnerships emerge and unfold we learn bout the types of costs. So here we go:

Procurement Costs:

• Hardware
• Contracts
• Software
• Grid Hosting
• Make Ready Infrastructure

Required Costs:

• payment system
• measurement standards compliance
• ADA requirements
• Dual plug requirements
• Cost standards

Soft Costs:

• Communication between utilities and providers
• Innovation
• Land Use costs
• Permitting costs

Why is this important? Partnerships. Software companies partnering with infrastructure companies partnering with payment companies. Build your owner partnership with these costs.

How will this be important? The lists will ebb and flow but the key is innovation, how quickly do standards change? Do standards change? Are new costs soft or fixed?
