The case
Our client operates a network of electric vehicle charging hubs across Spain. Over the past year twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three, they have noticed a significant decline in profits. What factors may be contributing to this and what can they do to address the situation?
The client runs EV fast-charging stations with attached cafe and retail spaces throughout Spain. They've engaged us to understand why their profitability has dropped and recommend solutions.
