At the same time, many cities and states are promoting the use of PEVs and installing EV charging systems as a means of reducing urban emissions. According to a recent report from Pike Research, more than 1.5 million locations to charge vehicles will be available in the United States by 2017, with a total of 7.7 million locations worldwide.
“With each new electric vehicle model that gets launched, makers of charging equipment, city planners, and retailers gain an increased sense that EVs are here to stay. This will encourage both the production and purchase of charging systems.”
This will translate into revenues of more than $4.3 billion for makers of electric vehicle charging equipment by 2017, the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts, up from $400 million in 2011, representing a compound annual growth rate of 49%.
"Prices for EV charging equipment will fall by 37% through 2017 as costs are driven down by competition from large electronics companies as well as volume production," says research director John Gartner. "With each new electric vehicle model that gets launched, makers of charging equipment, city planners, and retailers gain an increased sense that EVs are here to stay. This will encourage both the production and purchase of charging systems."
The deployment of EV charging equipment will also have implications for electric utilities’ business models. The impact of power delivered through EV charging units could shorten the lifespan of some neighborhood distribution equipment, such as transformers or power lines. Some utilities are offering less expensive EV charging rates and time of use (TOU) pricing, with power purchased overnight costing a fraction of the peak power price. The benefits of off-peak charging will encourage nearly all equipment purchases to be smart charging units that can be programmed remotely. A number of pioneering utilities are beginning to invest in information technology (IT) and other smart grid equipment to accommodate the increased load.
Pike Research’s report, "Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment", examines the growing global market for electric vehicle charging equipment and provides market analysis and forecasts for residential, workplace, public, and private charge points. The study also analyzes the key emerging sectors of direct current (DC) charging equipment and wireless EV charging stations. Key industry players are profiled and detailed charging equipment forecasts, segmented by world region and key countries, extend through 2017. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website.
