With the transportation sector being the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., and the transition to EVs taking shape to combat the issue, the build-out of charging infrastructure must keep pace with the transition to serve the growing population of EV drivers. Fast charging stations can charge EVs in a short amount of time at high charging power, and a substantial number of these stations need to be installed nationwide. A recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory study determined that by 2030, 182,000 fast charging ports will be necessary to support a fleet of 33 million EVs in the U.S. — up significantly from today’s 29,000 ports.
