Electric vehicle (EV) sales have witnessed a significant surge, with an increase by 67% from 2021 to 2022, according to Kelley Blue Book. This upwards trend is projected to continue, and it is anticipated that EVs will account for nearly 30% of all auto sales by 2030. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy has initiated a requirement for apartment communities to provide EV charging infrastructure. In certain circumstances, this may encompass up to 20% of the parking lot. The demand for EV chargers among multi-family dwellers is ramping up, making the role of companies like SWTCH crucial for building owners. Sitetracker’s cloud-based software is paving the way for the swift, efficient, and cost-effective construction of the charging infrastructure, a fundamental backbone for the burgeoning EV revolution.
