In 2020, the world saw a 41% growth with around 3 million EV sales despite the impact of COVID-19 in the market, while the overall automobile market reduced by 6%. This indicates a growing demand for electric vehicles., which will, in turn, boost the market for EV charging stations. While the majority of EV users install a Level 1 or Level 2 EV charging device in their home or residential complex, there has also been a growing demand for public charging stations around the world. With the growing EV sales around the world, the demand for EV charging stations will increase.
OEMs offer a wide range of electric vehicles, from small hatchbacks such as Leaf to high-end sedans such as Tesla model 3. The wide range of product offerings has attracted a high number of consumers, resulting in an increased market for electric vehicles. For instance, in October 2021, GM announced plans to invest USD 35 billion to develop and achieve more than one million EV sales and other technology by 2025. The company plans to go all electric by 2035. Similarly, Ford plans to increase its EV production capacity to 600,000 per annum by 2023 as announced in November 2021. It plans to make 40% of its vehicle offerings electric by 2030. Similarly, Volkswagen announced plans to invest USD 86.3 billion to speed up its EV plans by 2030. Other companies like Tesla, Nissan, and BMW, among others, have also made significant developments and plans for the upcoming EV demand in the coming 5-10 years. These investments and policies are expected to help boost the growth of the electric vehicle charging station market during the next decade.
Restraint: Lack of standardization of current EV charging infrastructure
Factors such as the growth of the electric vehicle market and variations in charging loads have emphasized the need for the standardization of electric vehicle charging stations. Certain EV charging stations may only be compatible with a certain type of voltage. For instance, AC charging stations provide a voltage of 120V AC through level 1 charging stations and 208/240V AC through level 2 charging stations. On the other hand, DC charging stations provide fast charging through 480V AC.
Governments need to standardize charging infrastructure for the development of a favorable ecosystem and an increase in the sales of EVs. Different countries use different standards for fast charging. Japan uses CHAdeMO; Europe, the US, and South Korea use CCS; and China uses GB/T. The Indian government had mandated the installation of both CHAdeMO and CCS methods since India has not reached standardization in fast charging methods. Though, this mandate increased the installation cost of charging stations, and, hence, in July 2019, the government changed the guidelines and allowed charging station developers to choose the method they prefer. The US-based electric car maker Tesla uses high-performance superchargers that are unique to Tesla and cannot be used for other EVs. The lack of standardization across countries may impact the installation of charging stations and hamper the growth of the market.
Opportunity:Use of V2G EV charging stations for electric vehicles
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) EV charging is a system that has a bi-directional electrical energy flow between plug-in EVs and the power grid. The V2G technology enables EVs to store unused power and discharge it to the grid. This can improve the electrical component’s performance and add value for EV owners. The introduction of this concept has eased electric vehicle charging operations and made EVs one of the most preferred modes of transportation. Thus, the entire charging station market plays a vital role in the connection of the grid to the electric vehicle to enable the vehicle’s charging.
Enel Energia S.p.A. installed 2 V2G electric car charging stations at the Genoa headquarters of the Italian Institute of Technology. The installation is a part of MOV-E, a corporate electric car sharing pilot project in collaboration with Nissan. Nissan provided two battery EVs (LEAF model) to the Italian Institute of Technology, as well as an app management platform, Glide. The agreement between Enel and Nissan signifies a change in the world of technology in terms of sustainable mobility. Thus, the V2G charging technology is a key opportunity for manufacturers as it is expected to transform the world of EVs and shape the future of EV charging. Although the V2G infrastructure is more valuable than smart charging, the initial cost for the installation of V2G charging stations is significantly high. The consistent and anticipated evolution of V2G technology is expected to offer opportunities for EV connector manufacturers to introduce advanced connectors to withstand electrical architecture.
Challenge: Stringent rules for installation of EV charging stations
Governments of different countries have implemented stringent rules that govern the installation of charging stations. Service providers are required to follow a certain set of instructions while installing charging stations. They require approval from plot owners when the installation is on private property, local governments in terms of regulatory mandates, and utility providers for energy transfer. For instance, homeowners or contractors are required to submit plot plans, electrical load calculations, electrical plans, installation instructions, and charger specifications to the local permitting office to obtain permits for the installation of residential EV charging stations. The procedures for the installation of EV charging stations are more complex in commercial locations than residential locations. A commercial installation requires permits, community or design guidelines, electrical source or metering, parking and signage requirements, zoning requirements, and inspection fees. Thus, the installation of charging stations is complex as many stages are involved in the value chain.
