How this was calculated
Energy sold: kWh/yr = chargers * power_kW * 8760 * utilization%.
Revenue: energy_sold * charging_price. Electricity cost: energy_sold * electricity_rate.
Demand charges: chargers * power_kW * demand_rate * 12 months.
NPV: Sum of discounted annual net cash flows at 8% over 10 years minus installation cost.
Breakeven utilization: The utilization rate at which annual net income = installation cost / 10.

EV charging station profitability depends on several key factors: charger utilization, electricity costs, demand charges, and the spread between your cost of energy and what you charge customers. Demand charges can be a significant cost for DC fast chargers, as utilities bill based on peak power draw regardless of energy consumed. Understanding these economics is essential before committing capital to charging infrastructure.
