The shared depot model for commercial EV charging

Putting in charging infrastructure for a medium- or heavy-duty private fleet can be expensive and slow to permit and connect to the grid. Often those chargers then sit empty for much of the day. Shared charging depots or hubs are emerging as a solution: one grid connection and better utilization translate into better economics and faster deployment. This episode brings together innovative companies building and operating charging hubs in Canada and the United States. The discussion will touch on: what the shared depot model enables for electric fleets and where they are working today how operations work, from booking a charger to billing the structure of fleet agreements and the revenue model for these sites the status of shared charging depots in the Canadian market how peer-to-peer sharing and other novel sites could increase access to charging and much more.
