> require 26.8 million Level 1 and Level 2 ports at single-family homes, apartments and other locations
That’s the counts for Level 1 and 2 chargers. Level 1 chargers are “a regular outlet and a $150 EVSE”. Level 2 is “a larger outlet/breaker and a $500-750 EVSE”.
The projected $72B for that portion seems crazy high to me to be honest.
There could be additional electrical, cement, and other work required beyond just mounting the charger. Not to mention the planning and permit process.
Also, labor is expensive these days. It's not going to be a single person doing the entire install alone.
This is the standard quo in any first tier country today.
Basically all the installs in single-family homes will be zero or one electrician. (Zero if the install is “plug in the L1 charger from Amazon to the existing outlet in the garage”) That will drag the average down quite a bit.
