As drivers across the country continue to prioritize clean energy and sustainability, the EV revolution is underway. EVAdoption reports that by 2030, approximately 50 percent of all new car sales are expected to be electric vehicles, and EV charging stations provide an opportunity for healthcare facilities to capitalize on the accelerated demand. There are a number of factors that go into a patient deciding where to receive healthcare, and amenities can be a key selling point with all other things being equal. Medical centers that offer EV charging stations will have a leg up on their competitors among the growing population of EV drivers.
Investing in the next generation of infrastructure with EV charging stations can also prove to be valuable in recruiting efforts for healthcare facilities of all types. More than 20 percent of EV drivers charge their vehicle at work, and hosting reliable charging stations could mean the difference between hiring or missing out on a talented individual, particularly if the candidate is already an EV driver. Doctors and other medical professionals are often on the cutting edge of new technology, meaning parking lots everywhere could soon be filled with electric vehicles. Deploying EV charging stations allows medical centers to demonstrate their commitment to advanced vehicle technologies for the patients, employees, and visitors that use them.
