Nowhere is ultra-fast charging in bigger demand than with the electric vehicle (EV).
If this is not a question, Why is "is" before the noun (ultra-fast charging)?????

Hello Daniel
lets analyze:
(Nowhere) is ultra-fast charging in bigger demand (than) with the electric vehicle (EV)
** (Nowhere) .... (than) , these two go together
ex: (Nowhere) will you find better burgers (than) at Hamburgueseria Don Pepe
(Nowhere) in the world is ice hockey so well liked (than) in Canada
** this sentence breaks the traditional S-V-O format, and as someone stated earlier, the Nowhere/than is used to add emphasis, make it more impactful

There are several situations where the normal subject-verb can invert:
1. After negative adverbs:
Never has he done that.
Rarely does he say anything.
Hardly did he notice a second person in the room.
Nowhere are pickles in demand.
2. After "here" and "there"
Here comes the sun!
There goes Bob!
3. for poetic effect:
Gently blows the wind.
Quiet flows the Don.
Yonder flies the eagle.
Thus Spake Zarathustra (archaic form of "spoke")

It's a writing style choice. The idea is to make the language more impactful. The author put "nowhere" at the beginning to emphasize it. Without the inversion, the sentence would look like this:
Ultra-fast charging isn't as in demand anywhere else as it is with electric vehicles.
