EV Infrastructure
Once again electric vehicles (EVs) have come to the forefront as an option for more mainstream transportation due to climate change’s rapid rise up in the political agenda.
Coupler and charging cabinets are key components in order to deliver AC or DC current.
Although there are still challenges – including battery prices and efficiency, lack of charging infrastructure, and a delay in common legislations - the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market has seen high growth in the last few years and is expected to be more solid in the long term.
