Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable. —IPG CEO Toby Gill.
