100 amps at what voltage? At 220v that's only 22kW which is nothing. This year my city has installed 350kW EV chargers in the old town without digging up the street (other than under where they install it), so the infrastructure must have already been there. I assume in an industrial area it would not at all be an issue.

Yeah I meant 100kW, but you’re right that even much higher power versions don’t require much retrofitting. A company I worked for had to install power to support 5MW of equipment where there was previously only a few houses nearby and the cost to do so was under $1M which was something like 2% of the total project cost. Incremental upgrades are extremely reasonable from a “capex / useful life” perspective.
