Analysis of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Market: Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2030
The global electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with a manifold increase in the sales of electric cars globally. According to the International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook Report, electric car sales topped 2.1 million units in 2019, accounting for 2.6% of global car sales. Recent statistics from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory also reveal a rapid 7.6% growth in public electric vehicle supply equipment within a mere three months in 2020.
The surge in EV adoption can be attributed to growing concerns regarding carbon emissions reduction and policies promoting carbon neutrality. Governments worldwide are increasingly adopting eco-friendly regulatory reforms, offering favorable subsidies and incentives to stimulate the EV market. The European Union, for example, has implemented stringent fuel standards and Clean Vehicle Directives to boost electric vehicle adoption. Similarly, countries like France, India, the United States, and the Netherlands have introduced policies aimed at encouraging electric vehicle sales, thereby amplifying the potential of the EV charging infrastructure market.
Reduced Costs Drive Expansion Research indicates a significant reduction in both hardware and installation costs for charging stations, with a 50% decrease between 2011 and 2013. This cost reduction has been driven by the preference for dual chargers over single chargers per pedestal. Consequently, manufacturers are adapting to sustainable business models, fostering an environment conducive to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure. As more companies from diverse industries enter the market, the growth of this sector continues to accelerate.
Compatibility Challenges and Interoperability While the EV charging infrastructure market is flourishing, compatibility issues persist. Different EV models require specific plug types and outlets, limiting their ability to use all charging stations. This lack of interoperability remains a significant challenge, potentially discouraging consumers from purchasing electric vehicles and hindering further market expansion.
Demand for Fast Chargers The demand for fast chargers, particularly in commercial stations, has witnessed significant growth. However, premium pricing, especially for chargers like Chademo, poses a challenge. Installation costs in the United States can range from $4,000 to as high as $51,000. The high cost of fast chargers is a key factor affecting the overall EV charging infrastructure market. Nonetheless, Level 1 DC fast chargers and Level 2 AC charging stations are experiencing increased deployment, contributing to the growth of fast chargers. The slow charger segment is also on the rise, particularly at public and residential charging stations.
Asia Pacific Emerging as an EV Charging Hub Asia Pacific is poised to dominate the global EV charging infrastructure market, thanks to favorable government policies in rapidly developing economies such as China, India, and Japan. Japan, for instance, boasts more electric charging stations than traditional petrol pumps, underscoring the country’s commitment to EV adoption. India has also announced ambitious EV plans, aiming to have approximately 1,000,000 EVs on the road by 2024. European countries like the UK, France, and Belgium are focused on improving interoperability of EVs throughout the region.
Impact of COVID-19 The global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the automotive industry, resulting in significant losses and hampering EV production and sales. Logistical and supply constraints played a pivotal role in impeding the growth of EV charging infrastructure. However, despite these challenges, the European market saw a surge in electric passenger car sales, surpassing China in EV sales.
Key Market Players and Collaborations Prominent market players are actively consolidating their positions in the EV charging infrastructure market through strategic mergers and acquisitions. For instance, ChargePoint has partnered with BMW Inc. and Volkswagen Inc. to establish fast charging networks across the western United States. Leading companies like AeroVironment, Inc., BP Chargemaster, and ABB are also adopting similar strategies to enhance their market presence. Additionally, automotive giants such as Volkswagen Group, BMW Group, and General Motors are investing in charging infrastructure to reduce fleet emissions. Collaborations between manufacturers and car rental service providers, like Eaton Corp’s partnership with Green Motion car rental services, are further accelerating the expansion of charging infrastructure.
