As we celebrate Earth Month, it's crucial to recognize the importance of environmental sustainability and the role that each of us plays in creating a greener future. Overall, the transportation sector accounts for 29% of greenhouse gas emissions. Today, there are 2,442,270 electric vehicles (EV) on the road and 2024 will be a record year in terms of EV adoption where over 10% of new car sales will be EVs. We are at the point where EVs are moving beyond the more environmentally-conscious early adopters and attracting more mainstream buyers.
Having sufficient public charging infrastructure is critical to continued EV adoption. And that presents a tremendous opportunity for charging businesses right now, who will have to build 1 million charge ports by 2030. Also, the environmental impact will be massive. Only 2-3% of cars on the road are EVs and yet, EV Connect’s customers have already had a tremendous environmental impact:
