A new study published in Nature Communications suggests electric vehicle charging stations increase sales for local businesses, providing an incentive for their installation.
The study found businesses located near EV chargers experience a 1.4% increase in annual spending, highlighting how these facilities can boost local economies.
Yunhan Zheng, the study's lead author, explains, "There are huge efforts both at the government level and for many EV providers to invest in EV chargers..."
Despite the high cost of installation, businesses and governments may benefit from EV chargers as increased foot traffic can lead to higher sales.
