All EVs must be connected to the power grid, and according to Daga, “ the impact of wireless charging is to fully automate the charging experience and relegate it to an unnoticed background function. This will make the experience of ‘fueling’ far better than pumping gasoline into a conventional gasoline vehicle.

Unlike traditional gasoline pricing, which is primarily governed by oil availability and geographic location, EV charging pricing policy is shaped by a diverse array of factors. While factors like demand and availability are similar to traditional gasoline pricing, public EV charging stations face unique challenges when setting pricing.
