Industry Insights

[224+ Pages Report] According to Facts and Factors, the global electric vehicle supply equipment market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.2% during the projection period between 2022 and 2028. The valuation for the global electric vehicle supply equipment market was USD 32.5 billion in 2021 and it is expected to cross USD 210 billion by 2028. The report explores various factors and their implications on the electric vehicle supply equipment market’s growth.

Market Overview

The electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides power to an electric vehicle (EV). They are also known as charging docks or charging stations since they supply electricity to the vehicle and use it to refill the vehicle's batteries. Electrical wires, supporting equipment, software, and communication protocols comprise EVSE systems, which supply energy efficiently and safely to the grid.

Electric vehicle supply equipment assembles components for charging electric vehicles in a variety of commercial and residential settings, including hotels, depots, roads, parks, houses, and corporate headquarters. The market is being supported by an increasing number of public and private efforts to encourage electric vehicle adoption. Some countries offer incentives, such as subsidies and tax breaks, to encourage electric vehicle adoption.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 crisis has influenced practically every sector, including commercial vehicles and EVSE businesses. Some enterprises and original equipment manufacturers were closed down to handle and overcome the COVID-19 crisis. This shutdown had a significant influence on the economic environment, particularly in developing countries. Government restrictions on commodity travel and several other lockdown measures significantly disrupted the supply chain, resulting in a complete standstill in production because the majority of raw materials for automotive production are provided by Asian countries. As a result, EVSE manufacturers will be unable to meet targets for the electrification of automobiles due to disruptions in financial assets and cash flow for the EVSE segment.

Growth Drivers

• Initiatives by the government to build charging infrastructure for electric vehicles are expected to drive the market

Electric vehicle charging stations are important to the widespread production of electric vehicles, which has resulted in greater government backing around the world. Many governments have recognized the importance of becoming electric in order to reduce automobile pollution and have created many programs to supply electric vehicle charging stations around the world. For example, the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) plans to establish more than 200 electric vehicle charging stations across the country. Furthermore, Tata Power, an Indian utility, looks to support the government of India's National Electric Mobility Mission. Tata Power created the first batch of electric vehicle charging stations in Mumbai (India) for India's burgeoning EV ecosystem, giving customers easy access to energy-saving solutions.

Furthermore, developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and China have taken initiatives to improve charging infrastructure in their respective countries in order to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. In addition, the Japanese government established an electric car policy in August 2018 to strengthen cooperation and enable a smooth transition in the automobile industry. Furthermore, it has launched the program for Faster Adoption and Production of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles II (FAME). According to this, incentives would be granted to encourage domestic electric vehicle production. As a result, such government initiatives are expected to accelerate the electric vehicle and electric vehicle supply equipment industries.

• Increasing demand for fuel-efficient and lower-emission automobiles is expected to propel the market’s growth

Gasoline is a fossil fuel. It is not a sustainable source of energy and will be depleted in the future. As a result, it is vital to identify and implement alternate fuel sources to support long-term growth. This necessitates the adoption of electric vehicles, which do not require gasoline and are less expensive than traditional autos. An electric automobile converts more than half of the electrical energy contained in gasoline, whereas gas-powered vehicles only convert between 17–21% of the energy contained in the fuel. The recent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel prices has increased demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. This is due to dwindling fossil fuel resources and a growing desire among corporations to maximize earnings from these oil deposits.

Restraints

• High cost of installation may limit the market’s growth

The expense of building charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is relatively significant. High costs and a lack of charging infrastructure are important impediments to the expansion of the electric car charging infrastructure market. Charging electric vehicles necessitates a permanent location as well as a person to manage the charging network and charging points. This expense becomes the deciding factor, rendering charging station financing untenable. Furthermore, numerous governments have imposed limitations and per-unit charges on electric vehicle drivers, complicating the operations of EV charging point owners. This factor may stifle the expansion of the global electric vehicle supply equipment market.

Opportunities

• Efforts by the government to improve access to charging stations are expected to result in significant market growth

The growing number of charging stations around the country stimulates the electric vehicle market because charging stations are now available everywhere, allowing electric vehicles to be used for longer trips. Many governments are pushing for electric vehicles since they are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. As a result, there will be plenty of exciting opportunities in the electric vehicle supply equipment market in the near future. 

For the purchase of electric vehicles, the US government offers a grant in the form of a tax credit of up to USD 7500. The need for electric vehicle supply equipment is expected to increase as a result of these efforts.

In countries including Germany, Norway, Canada, and the United States, governments and OEMs are collaborating to construct electric vehicle charging stations. All of these programs and promotions, combined with electric vehicles' minimal maintenance costs, vast potential for fast-charging sites, and increased electric vehicle sales, are projected to fuel demand for electric vehicle supply equipment in the next few years.

Challenges

• The lack of standards in the electric vehicle industry remains a persistent problem

Challenges such as the rise of the electric vehicle market and fluctuations in charging loads have underlined the necessity for standardization of electric vehicle charging sites. Certain charging stations for electric vehicles may only function at a specified voltage. Level 1 charging points, for example, provide a power of 120 volts AC, while level 2 charging points provide a power of 208 volts AC or 240 volts AC. In contrast, DC charging points employ 480-volt AC to provide fast charging. Governments must standardize charging stations in order to generate a favorable environment and increase electric vehicle sales. Quick-charging norms vary from country to country.

Segmentation Analysis

The global electric vehicle supply equipment market is segregated on the basis of type of charging, type of charging station, type of setup, implementation, and region.
