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 – Faulty chargers, slow repairs, and a lack of predictive analytics lead to high servicing costs.
Inefficient energy usage – Without smart data insights, stations suffer from load mismanagement, causing higher electricity bills and grid strain.
Poor utilization rates – Many public chargers sit idle for long periods or aren’t placed optimally, reducing return on investment (ROI).
Billing and payment inefficiencies – The lack of standardized, automated payment systems increases transaction costs and delays settlements.
👉 The Result? Many CPOs struggle to break even and often fail to scale profitably.
