About Session

Despite growing investments in DC charging infrastructure, many operators, fleet managers and logistics companies struggle with charger downtime, rising operating costs and lower-than-expected returns. The industry often focuses on charging power, hardware costs and funding opportunities, while overlooking the factors that ultimately determine long-term profitability.

This session explores the real cost of charger unavailability and highlights the five key success factors for profitable DC charging operations: high charger uptime, intelligent monitoring, proactive service, automated operations and efficient monetization.

Using practical examples and real-world customer cases, attendees will learn how even small improvements in availability can have a significant impact on revenue, operational efficiency and user satisfaction. The session also discusses why manufacturer-independent service and maintenance concepts are becoming increasingly important as the installed base of DC chargers continues to grow.

Key Takeaway: Profitability is not defined by the cost of installing charging infrastructure, but by the ability to keep chargers reliably operational throughout their lifecycle.
