That means new challenges for manufacturers in finding materials to meet those needs in producing safe and easy-to-use stations.   Material durability and weatherability can lengthen EVSE service life and help maintain equipment aesthetics over time. It is important to consider eco-conscious material options that can help in lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC), and reducing energy use.

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. As materials engineers, it's crucial to consider several factors when adopting more circular composites. Materials engineers play a pivotal role in the quest to make composites more circular and sustainable.
