DECEMBER 20, 2023

A CPO may start with a smaller-scope network but quickly install new charge points in an expanding geographical footprint, which can cause performance issues and high maintenance costs — particularly if hampered by aging chargers. Self-healing reduces costs by circumventing the need to send technicians to the field.
