With more electric vehicles on the road across the country, it is time to ask yourself, what are the benefits of becoming a leader in the industry for installing and commissioning electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure? If you are unsure of the answer, don’t worry, we have you covered.
The team at IPD sat down and completed the research to highlight four key benefits for an electrical contractor to become an installer of EV infrastructure; read them below.
- Meeting the growing demand for EV infrastructure
At the year-end of 2022, the electric vehicle council announced that there had been an 86 per cent increase in the number of electric vehicles purchased over its previous year’s results, with 3.8 per cent of all new vehicles purchased across the country. The demand doesn’t stop there; in the first quarter of 2023, there were 10,784 electric vehicles sold in Australia, according to The Driven.
This is why the proper infrastructure is vital to meet this demand. Electrical contractors will need to be at the forefront of installing and commissioning the chargers for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
- Contributing to a sustainable future
Electric vehicles produce fewer emissions than traditional petrol vehicles. Being an early adopter in this market, you will be crucial in leading the way for a sustainable future by utilising green technologies.
- Job security
With the demand for vehicles, there is a demand for infrastructure, which drives demand for qualified and skilled electricians to install and maintain this infrastructure. As an EV infrastructure installer, you could be offered long-term job security and stability.
- Collaboration and variety
As an EV infrastructure installer, you can work collaboratively with other professionals to deliver on various projects, from residential charging to a small commercial or industrial site looking to install chargers for their employees and customers. Across Australia, there has been a significant increase in charging stations, publicly and privately, highlighting the incredible opportunity to work on some of these infrastructure projects.
Now that you understand the benefits of becoming an industry leader, IPD can help you choose the right products and solutions, including chargers, custom distribution boxes, reliable protection products and much more.
