Transportation is one of the largest contributors to overall U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 27% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The good news: the EV market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% to $110B by 2030 driven by government regulations, lower operational costs for consumers, and the breadth of great EV options now on the market. This has also sparked a rush to build out the EV charging infrastructure.
Today, the U.S. has roughly ~57,000 EV charging stations, including nearly 8,000 DC fast charging stations. Edison Electric Institute estimates that 12.9 million charge ports, including ~140,000 DC fast charging ports, are needed by 2030 to support the projected growth in EVs in the U.S. California (and many other states following) recently passed the EV Charging Reliability Transparency Act, including a 97% uptime mandate for EV charging networks. The reality is that many EV stations are down 30% of the time, resulting in lost revenue for station owners and a terrible experience for consumers.
At Mission One Capital, we believe there is a clear need for a reliable maintenance solution to support the growing EV market and reduce U.S. GHG emissions. But until now, EV charging network owners haven’t been able to keep up - often due to the lack of skilled technicians to diagnose and fix charging station issues.
