What will happen to EV Chargers development？

EV Chargers development is an important part of the new energy vehicle industry chain, and its development trend and potential will be affected by a variety of factors. Here are some possible trends and challenges:

1.Rapid growth: According to the EV Charging Infrastructure Development Guide (2015-2020), the EV Chargers ratio in China is close to 1:1. Although the number of charging infrastructure in China has reached 5.21 million units as of 2022, the number of electric vehicles has reached 13.1 million, and the vehicle-to-pile ratio is 2.5:1, the demand for EV chargers will continue to grow with the development of EV chargers. Statistics show that by 2030, the number of electric vehicles in China will reach 37.13 million, and the number of EV Chargers will reach 9.66 million.

2. Continuous optimization of structure: At present, the charging infrastructure is mainly based on public charging piles, but with the rapid development of the electric vehicle market and the diversification of consumers' demand for charging, the construction of charging piles with families will gradually become the mainstream. At the same time, due to the continuous improvement of the driving range of electric vehicles, the demand for emergency fast charging will gradually decrease, and high-power fast charging piles will become the main part of the new construction.

3. Service level improvement: With the continuous expansion of charging infrastructure, the charging service level will continue to improve. In addition to basic charging services, differentiated services such as scheduled charging, plug and charge, and demand response will gradually become popular, and the intelligence level of EV chargers will continue to improve the charging experience of users.

4. Business model innovation: In the construction and operation of EV Chargers, business models are also constantly innovating. In addition to the traditional government investment and construction model, many new business models have emerged, such as the unified construction and management model, the multi-vehicle one-pile model, and the private pile sharing model. These new business models will help solve the problems of EV chargers that are difficult to enter the community and have low utilization rate.

5. EV Chargers development also faces some challenges. For example, "range anxiety" is still an important factor for consumers and investors. At the same time, the problems of large investment, long return cycle, and scattered operation pattern in the charging pile industry also need to be solved. In addition, due to the different models, battery types and charging needs of new energy vehicles, the compatibility and versatility of charging piles is also a problem that needs to be solved.

EV Chargers development has great potential, but it also faces many challenges. It is necessary for the government, enterprises and investors to work together to promote the development of EV chargers through policy support, technological innovation and market operation, so as to meet the needs of the new energy vehicle market and promote the sustainable development of China's new energy vehicle and EV Charger industry.
