Directly Current Episode 18: How To Make EV Charging Profitable ft. Stable CEO, Rohan Puri
Gas isn’t profitable—Coca Cola is, or so goes the conventional wisdom. Nonetheless, fuel is still somewhat profitable for the Exxons of the world. But in the land of EV charging, most providers aren’t operating functional standalone businesses they’re beset by under-utilized hardware and over-reliant on incentive programs to make the balance sheet work. There has to be a better way. Rohan Puri, the co-founder and CEO of Stable, sure thinks there is.
In this episode, Max speaks with Rohan to learn how Stable is using data insights to enable site hosts to drive more revenue. Without a stable and profitable business, EV charging won’t be viable in the long term. Max and Rohan discuss dynamic pricing and the inevitable commodification of charging networks (and hopefully the end of having to install 20+ apps to charge at each bespoke network).
