DC fast charging requires a lot of power, so you’ll need a licensed electrician to confirm if the existing grid connection is suitable. If not, it may be necessary to contact your regional power provider to ensure the grid can handle the demand of your charging infrastructure. Make sure your site meets local accessibility standards.

For the time being, some electric vehicles (EVs) are more expensive to buy than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. However, that higher upfront cost is mitigated in other ways.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have compared medium-duty (MD) electric and diesel urban delivery trucks in terms of life-cycle energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and total cost of ownership (TCO). One surprise among their findings was that the electric truck had cost advantages over the diesel vehicle under some conditions.
