High Operating Costs for Charge Point Operators (CPOs)
CPOs are responsible for setting up and maintaining charging stations, but their operational expenses (OpEx) are too high due to:
Expensive maintenance β Faulty chargers, slow repairs, and a lack of predictive analytics lead to high servicing costs.
Inefficient energy usage β Without smart data insights, stations suffer from load mismanagement, causing higher electricity bills and grid strain.
Poor utilization rates β Many public chargers sit idle for long periods or arenβt placed optimally, reducing return on investment (ROI).
Billing and payment inefficiencies β The lack of standardized, automated payment systems increases transaction costs and delays settlements.
π The Result? Many CPOs struggle to break even and often fail to scale profitably.
