The soaring demand for charging facilities across the region provides the opportunity for commercial real estate owners to enhance their assets with EV charging installations.
According to a new report by global real estate consulting firm JLL, annual investment volume in multifamily residential in Asia Pacific is expected to more than double in size by 2030, with investments to potentially cross $20 billion by the end of the decade.
