EV CHARGING STATION AND CHARGING PILE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Level 2, Level 3

• Level 2: The Level 2 charging is faster than Level 1, but the speeds range from 10 to 60 miles of range per hour depending on the car model and the type of station. These types of stations employ 240V power outlets, and they are normally situated at homes, offices, and popular places. Since they are the most popular, they are usually preferred for daily charging requirements based on the ease of use and relatively low installation price. They are called Level 2 chargers, and they are suitable for overnight charging and used for almost all cars that are available in the market today. Thus, while battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are steadily gaining popularity, the market for Level 2 solutions is expected to open up a new segment for both residential and commercial use.
• Level 3: Level 3 charging, also referred to as DC fast charging, is the most convenient charging station, with relatively shorter charging times and a charging capability of about 150 miles of range after every 30 minutes. These stations utilize direct current (DC) as opposed to the more conventional alternating current (AC) and thereby are capable of transferring energy at a faster rate. Level 3 chargers are mainly placed along highways or other heavily frequented places to allow rapid recharging for long-distance travelers. They call for a considerable capital investment and involve higher costs of operations compared to Level 2 chargers. Since more and more people will start buying new models of electric cars with bigger batteries and even longer range on a single charge, it will require the widespread Level 3 charging stations.

By Application

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Residential Charging, Public Charging

• Residential Charging: This kind of charging infrastructure is located at residential places whereby EV proprietors can be able to charge their cars at night. Both of these chargers are known to be Level 1 and Level 2, with the latter being a more efficient way to charge the battery quickly.
