You may have noticed the increase of electrical vehicles driving around lately, and as a result the increase of electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging stations being installed. 

A report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) illustrates the rapidly changing landscape of EV charging stations during the first three months of 2021:

• Public EV charging stations grew 5% (5,006)
• Private EV charging stations grew .8% (141)

As government support for electric powered vehicles increases and more electric vehicles enter the market, there will continue to be a higher need for EV charging stations in public and private business and facilities.
