ADI evaluated the North American EV and charging infrastructure market using bottom‑up forecasts of vehicle stock, charger deployment, power demand, and capital investment through 2030. The analysis differentiated Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging economics, incorporating policy scenarios, utility participation models, and EPC cost structures. Particular attention was paid to fleet charging economics and the implications for infrastructure scale, complexity, and competitive advantage.

ADI’s global blue ammonia projects database
The global blue ammonia market is rapidly expanding, driven by increasingly stringent decarbonization policies and regulations that promote the production and adoption of low-carbon ammonia. Examples include the European Union’s (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which incentivizes low-carbon ammonia production by imposing a carbon cost on imports based on their embedded emissions. Besides, the […]
