Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Systems

The Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Systems market research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. 

The Coming Whirlwind of Electric Vehicle Charging Systems, Fast Charging, Interoperability, and More

ARC’s research on the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging market reveals that EV charging will soon be ubiquitous, often exceeding the service levels of gas and diesel fueling stations. ARC’s report examines the top providers and trends in the electric vehicle charging systems market. ARC forecasts strong and robust growth overall. Within regional and even local market ecosystems, the end user market perspective of EVs offering lower cost per mile with a lower total lifecycle cost is now taking hold. Charging systems are being closely aligned with their underlying vehicular applications, from singular home charging to a variety of fleet charging scenarios. Similarly, a range of supported charger ancillary functions continue to develop, often unique to each economy.

Electric Vehicle Charging Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Systems market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Future Proof Your Installations    

A number of fairly simple future proofing strategies do exist. These include: 

  • Installing a conduit for additional chargers beyond the initial installation.
  • Similarly, installation of oversized conductors is suggested in order to support next generations of higher power chargers.
  • Additionally, planning with local utilities can allow the incumbent utility to upgrade transformers, substations, and distribution capabilities.

Plan for Resilience    

In a general sense, grid hardening, generator ports with mobile power sources, redundant electric services, and microgrids should be examined. In particular, while highly dependent on the applications, planning for resilience may take the form of having multiple fleet charge sites, in order to serve the fleet if one geography is without power.

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions    

Increase ESG scores by reducing greenhouse gas emissions of fleet vehicles in industrial, commercial, and public agency applications. A proactive approach to ESG can create opportunities for lower business risk as well as lower cost capital for research and development and other operational and maintenance factors.

Interoperability and Open Standards    

Interoperability greatly simplifies ease-of-use for all users. Interoperability of charger software and hardware also futureproofs the infrastructure over its effective life. As for connector standards, Japan uses CHAdeMO; Europe, the US, and South Korea use CCS; and China uses GB/T. The Government of India supports both CHAdeMO and CCS. Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is an open-source protocol created in 2010 and is managed by the Open Charge Alliance30 (OCA). It is the global standard for communication between charging station operators and their network of charging stations. OCPP is an instruction set that communicates to any charging station management system on how to create a communications gateway with any Wi-Fi connected or “smart charging station” developed using the OCPP standard. For full interoperability, it is important for users to confirm that all seven layers of the OSI seven layer interoperability stack are supported.

 

Market Data Research Available Datasets

This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis.  Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers.  All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately.  A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
