Market Dynamics:

Driver: Government policies and subsidies to support faster setup of EV charging stations

The increasing global demand for EVs is expected to drive up the need for charging infrastructure, with governments worldwide funding its development and offering subsidies. Favorable policies incentivize the installation of charging stations, often accompanied by incentives such as reduced fees and taxes. Many countries have committed to expanding EV charging infrastructure alongside their EV transition plans. Both public and private investments, like US plans to deploy 500,000 new charging outlets by 2030, contribute to growth. Innovations such as high-speed charging stations and wireless systems have emerged from private sector investments. Tackling these challenges requires a collaborative approach involving policy incentives, technological advancements, and education campaigns. In the EU, initiatives like the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package aim to support electric mobility and reduce carbon emissions. Similarly, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program in the US is introducing regulations to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of EV charging networks. Government financial support, such as subsidies for installing charging stations , further stimulates growth in the electric vehicle charging station market, prompting automakers to shift their focus towards electric vehicles.

Restraint: Lack of standardization of charging infrastructure

The absence of standardized electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure has become increasingly apparent due to factors such as the expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure market and varying charging requirements. Certain EV charging stations may only support specific voltage types. For instance, AC charging stations offer 120V AC via level 1 charging and 208/240V AC via level 2 charging, while DC charging stations provide rapid charging at 480V AC. Various countries adhere to different fast charging standards, with Japan utilizing CHAdeMO, Europe utilizing CCS 2, the US, and South Korea employing CCS 1, and China utilizing GB/T.

Opportunity: Use of V2G-enabled EV charging stations for electric vehicles

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) EV charging represents a system facilitating bi-directional electrical energy exchange between plug-in EVs and the power grid. One of the primary advantages of V2G charging stations lies in grid balancing. By enabling electric vehicles to feed power back into the grid during peak demand periods, V2G charging stations contribute to grid stability, potentially obviating the need for costly infrastructure upgrades. This could translate into reduced consumer energy expenses and a more resilient grid infrastructure. Additionally, V2G charging stations offer energy storage capabilities. Electric vehicles serve as mobile energy storage units, providing backup power to residences and businesses during outages or emergencies. This enhances energy resilience and diminishes reliance on diesel generators or other backup systems. Moreover, V2G charging stations have the potential to lower energy costs.

Challenges: Significant dependence on fossil fuel electricity generation & limited production in developing countries

Numerous countries continue to rely on fossil fuels for electricity generation, leading to significant environmental pollution. However, the limited sustainability of these fuels for long-term power generation, coupled with lower grid capacity from such power plants, is expected to hinder the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in many nations in the coming decades. For instance, India generates approximately 60% of its electricity from fossil fuels, including coal and lithium, while the United States relies on fossil fuels for a similar percentage of its electricity production. In contrast, Europe utilizes fossil fuels for only about 35-40% of its electricity generation. To address this challenge, countries will need to undertake extensive updates to their power generation infrastructure and transition towards more environmentally efficient methods of electricity production. The continued reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation contradicts the goal of transitioning to EVs from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and presents a significant obstacle for countries striving to reduce emissions over the long term.

Market Ecosystem

“DC Ultra-fast 1 charger segment is estimated to hold a significant share of EV Charging Station market during the forecast period.”

The segment for ultra-fast 1 chargers is expected to expand rapidly, supported by growing demand and OEMs offering compatible EVs. The surge in demand for High Power Charging Stations (HPCS) is boosting the development of faster charging infrastructure, with stations capable of delivering a full charge within 10-20 minutes becoming increasingly popular. Major players like ABB and Tesla are leading the charge, with Tesla upgrading its superchargers to 250 kW and planning further upgrades to 300 kW. Electrify America recently inaugurated a flagship indoor station in the US. While demand for ultra-fast chargers is growing, they are primarily used for specific cases due to their higher cost and concerns about battery degradation over time.

“Three-Phase Charger segment expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period.”

The increasing demand for fast charging is driving the electric vehicle fast charging system market for three-phase electric vehicle (EV) chargers, offering power outputs up to 43 kW AC and 350 kW DC. Government initiatives, such as plans for millions of chargers by 2030 and specific mandates like one DC charger per 60 kilometers in the US, are fostering EV adoption. Advancements in EV technology are making electric vehicles more accessible and affordable, further boosting demand. Three-phase chargers with advanced safety features are ideal for public charging stations and parking lots. They offer rapid charging speeds, significantly faster than single-phase chargers, appealing to users seeking quick recharging times. As EV adoption grows, the need for charging infrastructure is increasing, with three-phase chargers playing a critical role.

“China is estimated to be the largest market during the forecast period.”

The China region is poised to become the largest market for EV Charging Station by 2030, The growth of the EV charging market in China is propelled by several key factors. The government's implementation of the Green Car Credit system and generous incentives for expanding the EV charging network have significantly boosted market expansion. Moreover, rapid advancements in charging infrastructure facilitate the accessibility and efficiency of charging stations across the nation. China is investing significantly in the production of EV charging stations to provide charging solutions for the increasing number of EVs in the country. OEMs such as BYD also plan to establish production plants worldwide to manufacture electric buses and trucks to meet demand. Additionally, the rising demand for fast-charging solutions within the region further stimulates ev charging industry growth, reflecting consumers' evolving preferences towards convenient and speedy charging options for their electric vehicles. EV Battery prices started falling to half in 2024, which is expected to drive EV sales and EVCS setup in coming years. Leading CPOs in China like StarCharge, Stategrid among others are having high setup rate, but low utilization rate. For instance, StarCharge, which is the second biggest public charging network in China, with over 419,000 charging points. Each of these charging points uses only about 40 kilowatt hours (kWh) of power per day. This means that on average, each charger is used for less than two hours a day, with a daily utilization rate of 8 percent.
