Cost Analysis: Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles
Ignacio Lepe, Javier Contador & Ignacio Rivas · Agencia de Sostenibilidad Energética / Ministry of Energy · 2022
Abstract
Published by Chile’s Energy Sustainability Agency (AgenciaSE) for the third consecutive year, this report analyzes the costs of charging infrastructure (CI) for electric vehicles in Chile, with particular attention to projects on public land and volume-based discount estimates across categories. Based on primary data collection, it documents a rise in prices over the past year, most pronounced for higher-power projects, linked to global inflation, higher transport costs, and supply-chain constraints. It characterizes the Chilean CI market as incipient but growing, with new infrastructure providers, more trained installers, and emerging cost-optimization strategies, and aims to reduce information asymmetries and foster a more competitive charging market.
