BLACK & VEATCH
As Director of Business Development at Black & Veatch , Maryline Daviaud Lewett works with clients to advise on all aspects of transitioning to zero-emission vehicles , from financing projects to executing major infrastructure developments .
“ We need to build the charging and clean fueling infrastructure to support the vehicles . Our clients are often surprised by how long that can take ,” Daviaud Lewett says .
While electrification is paramount in the emissions crunch , the delayed delivery of EVs plays into the hands of developers as there is still work to be done before charging and infrastructure are ready for fully-electric transport .
“ How long the infrastructure takes to build depends on the size of the hub and charging system , as well as how many hubs their fleets need . Eight-to-nine months is a minimum , ranging as long as 18 to 24 months . Access to power and adequate power supply are vital to EV charging
