When the distance from the source charge becomes very large, the electric field strength decreases and approaches zero. This means that the electrostatic potential also approaches zero at large distances from the source charge.
However, the electric potential at a point is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. As the distance from the source charge increases, the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point also increases, approaching infinity. This is why the electric potential at large distances from the source charge is considered to be infinity.
