Abstract

This chapter analyzes the business model of electric vehicle recharging. As seen in previous chapters, the existence of a fast charging network is a success factor for the penetration of electric vehicles. Although, under current conditions, it is difficult to justify the provision of this service from a single-product private company point of view. The profit and loss accounts of these potential companies are considered, including possible alternatives to improve their results. Another possibility could be that the business model is based on the cross-selling of other products (restaurants, department stores, …) for which another type of more complex analysis would be necessary.
