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.
