Electric Vehicle Charger Market is expanding rapidly with Leading EV Manufacturer Tesla Inc. launching fast electric car charging in Berlin, Germany
An electric
vehicle charger, also known as an EV charger, electric, rapid recharging
system, rapid charging system, electric rapid recharging system, and electric
rapid electric vehicle (EV) kit, is a small device that is connected to the
car's battery to recharge it while the car is parked. A plug-in hybrid electric
vehicle (PHEV), on the other hand, uses electricity from the power company
instead of gasoline. Both types are clean and eco-friendly. An electric vehicle
charger can be small and unobtrusive.
Increasing sales
of electric vehicles (EV) worldwide are expected to drive growth of the global electric
vehicle charger market. According to the International Energy Agency
(IEA), in 2019, electric car sales reached 2.1 million globally, registering a
growth rate of 2.6%. According to the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), as of
March 2019, there were around 1.18 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads,
with EV sales increasing by 81% in 2018 as compared to 2017. Consumers are
increasingly preferring electric vehicles over conventional gasoline-fueled
vehicles due to rising prices of fossil fuels and growing awareness regarding
carbon emission. As a result of this, the demand for electric vehicle chargers
is accelerating rapidly. Hence, these factors are expected to drive growth of
the global electric vehicle charger market. Furthermore, supportive government
policies and subsidies are expected to boost the global electric vehicle
charger market growth in the near future.
Lack of
standardization in charging infrastructure combined with inadequate power grid
infrastructure is expected to hamper the global electric vehicle charger market
growth in the near future. Besides, the high cost of EVs as compared to
internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is expected to restrain growth of the
market. However, rising construction of EV charging stations powered by
renewable sources can present lucrative growth opportunities in the near
future. Among regions, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth
in the global electric vehicle charger market. This is owing to increasing
government investment in the development of charging infrastructure in the
region. Furthermore, Europe is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing
to growing efforts to reduce carbon footprint by numerous European countries.
Major
competitors operating in the global electric vehicle charger market are
AeroVironment, Inc., Webasto SE, ABB, Tesla, Inc., BP Chargemaster, Siemens AG,
ChargePoint, Inc., Schneider Electric, ClipperCreek, Inc., SemaConnect, Inc.,
Eaton Corp., Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc., and General Electric Company.
For
instance, in September 2020, Tesla Inc., a U.S.-based EV manufacturer, launched
fast electric car charging in Berlin, Germany with more cities as the target.
