The Problem

Billions are being spent on EV charging infrastructure. Location selection is based on real estate availability, not demand modeling. 40% of public chargers sit underutilized while drivers queue at the other 60%.

Why You Win

You understand grid constraints, vehicle energy consumption models, and the traffic patterns that actually predict charging demand versus the ones that look good in a PowerPoint.

Solo Founder Path

Combine traffic data, grid capacity maps, and existing charger locations. Build a demand-weighted site scoring model. Sell to charging point operators making $500K+ location decisions.

How AI Agents Scale It

AI agents continuously update demand forecasts, model grid evolution, score candidate sites in real-time, and optimize entire charging networks.
