The influence of investment expenditures on the development of fast charging infrastructure

摘要

To get the market of electromobility up and running, increased efforts are made to establish fast-charging stations all over Germany. It is well-known that high-performance charging infrastructure is expensive and the biggest part of its price belongs to the investment expenditure. The present paper illustrates a cost analysis of fast-charging infrastructure and its implication on strategic investment decisions. Data is collected from locations that have been built via the Project SLAM. Based on the obtained results, a critical assessment on the nationwide expansion will be provided.
