Renewables offer a great way to help balance the scale. With cheap energy generation, one high cost of EV charging can be removed, assisting organizations in achieving profitability. One of the biggest challenges facing EV charging is the question of profitability. The Pennsylvania Turnpike plans to do just that.

There is no doubt that supply has increased. Supply alone, however, doesn’t determine price. According to this chart (above) from the US Energy Information Agency (EIA), demand has been increasing along with supply since 2010. We must also consider demand, and that has been increasing too. That is a good thing. Source: [link].
