Electric Vehicles And The Need For Public Charging Infrastructure

Electric vehicles (EV) have been available for some time, but adoption has always been too low to attract significant investment and displace the internal combustion engines (ICE) in a meaningful way. This time is different, though, as EVs are in the process of displacing a significant portion of the traditional ICE vehicle market, which presents interesting opportunities for Bechtel. There are several reasons why we think this time is different, and the intent of this post is to lay out a brief summary of our views of the EV market, the infrastructure needed to support that market, and the opportunities for Bechtel in this space. Finally, we’ll talk about what we’re doing to address the lack of EV charging infrastructure in North America.
