Measured by revenue less cost of operations (opex) and cost to carry capex (interest or opportunity cost) is there any proof that non-Tesla DC fast chargers are making any money from charging? Breaking even?
If they are, why aren’t more companies getting into installing chargers for profit?
If they aren’t, how do we ever get to sustainable, operational infrastructure that meets consumer expectations like the gas stations they’re used to?
I think that DC fast charging depots will be with us for far less time than gas stations have been. Why? Because embedded touchless roadway chargers are a real possibility on interstates. You charge while you drive.
