Faster adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles II is a project the business has launched (FAME).

This states that incentives will be given to encourage the production of electric vehicles locally. Moreover, up to 80% of the overall cost of installing charging infrastructure is covered by many governments. Planning and construction of charging stations are being done in conjunction with oil & gas firms by governments of various nations, which has also contributed to the development of the Eelectric Vehicle market.

In addition, to support growth of the EV charging stations industry throughout the projected period, governments plan to establish charging stations along national highways every 100 kilometers. Moreover, customers are adopting EVs as a result of the tough automobile emission rules, which further support the growth of the market. All these initiatives help the EV market to grow globally, hence enhancing the EV charging infrastructure to meet its demand across the world.

The absence of standardization in the current EV charging infrastructure hinders the market

The need for standardization of EV charging stations has been highlighted by factors including the expansion of the EV market and variances in charging loads. Some EV charging stations may require a specific voltage to function. Level 1 charging stations for AC devices. 

For instance, provide a voltage of 120V AC, while level 2 charging stations provide a voltage of 208/240V AC. On the other hand, DC charging stations use 480V AC to deliver quick charging. 

For the creation of a supportive ecosystem and an increase in EV sales, governments must standardize charging infrastructure. Different nations utilize various rapid charging standards. China utilizes GB/T, which is the common name used to refer to several standards for electric vehicle AC and DC fast charging. 

Europe, the U.S., and South Korea use Combined Charging System (CCS), while Japan uses CHAdeMO, which is the trade name for a fast-charging system for battery electric vehicles. The installation of charging stations may be impacted and the EV charging market growth can be hampered by a lack of standardization between nations.

Smart infrastructure and IoT in EV charging to manage load creates an opportunity

Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of EV charging consists of three key components including charging equipment, mobile apps, and charging management platforms. Continuous monitoring and data presentation in the form of reports and dashboards are made possible by IoT in EV charging. In addition, it aids in alerting consumers of major errors or significant upgrades. A mobile app, for instance, can educate drivers about the cost and duration of charging. 

Operators of charging points can diagnose devices remotely without a personal visit. Roaming services for their charging network can be improved by network operators. All value chain participants, including EV drivers, Charge Point Providers (CPOs), and network operators, stand to gain significantly from IoT.

Asia-Pacific is projected to dominate the major EV charging market share

Due to several government initiatives to drive adoption of EVs and associated infrastructure and rise in demand for EV fast-charging infrastructure.

For instance, in January 2022, China announced plans to expand its charging infrastructure to accommodate growing fleet of electric vehicles. 60% of the its expressway system would be equipped with fast charging stations. China has stated that by the end of 2025, the country will have a demand for 20 million electric vehicles.

In addition, the government of Japan provided a total of USD 911 million in subsidies to build EV charger stations and stimulate development of the electric vehicle market.

Moreover, rise in deployment of EVs by shared mobility operators and rise in EV manufacturing capabilities drive growth of the Asia-Pacific electric vehicle charging market.

For instance, Japan also plans to increase the number of charging piles for EVs to 150,000 by 2030, and companies also dedicatedly participate in them. Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) plans to increase number of fast charging stations on highways to 1,000 by 2025 and Hitachi Ltd. is developing smaller and lighter charging stations.
