Location is important for electric car charging

A lot more people will have electric cars by 2025. Global sales will triple by 2025. But it’s not just about the number of cars, it’s also about the number of chargers. Let me tell you, it can be a little tricky to keep it powered up all the time.

In order for the EV market to grow, we’re going to need more chargers in the right places. The top priority, should be finding more options to charge at home.

More options to charge at home. People only have off-street parking is not enough. It’s home charging for when people are at home, whether you’re living in an apartment building or you’re living in an urban area where maybe you park on the street, as well as people living in rural areas. Because, basically, what it means is that on more than 95% of days, you’re not even thinking about refilling your car like you do today. You’re just charging your car and it’s ready and charged and ready to go when you want to leave home.

It's really critical to enable a more equitable rollout of charging infrastructure and support EV adoption for people that want to adopt EVs and are living in many different types of situations.

Where you could put chargers where people wouldn’t incur delays, so there wouldn’t be a delay to regular activities. So if you focus on those, then charging can fit into the way people are already behaving and how they’re moving around in their vehicles, and how long they’re stopping at different locations.
