Our Five-Year Look Back: Open Charging Networks Are the Future of EV Charging

When we first published “Why Open Charging Networks Are the Future of EV Charging” in September 2020, the electric vehicle landscape was quite different. Our team at EV Connect recognized the potential of open networks to address these challenges, but we couldn't have predicted exactly how the ecosystem would evolve. Looking back from 2025, we can now evaluate how our predictions about open networks played out and what new developments have shaped the industry. We're committed to regularly revisiting our industry analyses and ensuring we provide the most current information to our customers and partners. This retrospective is part of our ongoing commitment to better serve the EV community in this rapidly evolving landscape.
