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?
Starbucks and fast food chains should really hop on changing station bandwagon…
Even with fast charging you will still dwell for 15-20min, there should be a amenity that lets you go pee and sit down for a short break near every charger.
