India EV Charging Stations Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Definition and Insights

The charging station for electric vehicles refers to the charging station operator that links an electric vehicle (EV) to a source of electricity for electric cars, community electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. Some charging stations have advanced features such as smart metering, cellular compatibility, and network access, while others are simple. An electric vehicle charging station is a point to charge the battery for the electric vehicle that varies from vehicle to vehicle. A few types of technologies are used to charge electric vehicles based on the battery’s input power, classified as type 1, type 2, and type 3. The charging stations can be AC, DC, or inductive. These charging points can be installed for commercial applications or residential providing the speed to charge the electric vehicle, which depends on technology for the battery usage.

Charging stations are often called electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) and are operated by private companies in the municipal car parks through electrical utility companies or retail shopping centers. These stations have special connexions that comply with the various electrical charge connector requirements. In India, the number of electric vehicle networks is growing to include a public-access charging station system for EV recharging. Governments, manufacturers, and infrastructure charging providers have established agreements to create such networks.

• In current times, the importance of EV charging stations construction has grown drastically and the growth of AC Charging/ Normal Charging Station, DC Charging/ Super Charging Station and Inductive. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the India EV charging stations market will grow CAGR of 42.8% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

India EV Charging Stations Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing environmental concerns

Car pollution is a major concern for the environment and also in the rise of global warming since decades. But as the technology is upgrading the shift of paradigm from normal vehicles (which run on fuels like petroleum, CNG) to electric vehicles has been increased rapidly and so as the electric vehicle charging stations, which has made charging a different “Refuelling” paradigm.

The electric vehicles is a next big thing in the automotive sector which includes many technological advancements that can help in preventing the environment in terms of air pollution, noise pollution and various other related factors. It has been observed that passenger vehicles produce significant amount of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollution.

• Growing popularity of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) model

The concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has been gaining popularity within the electric automotive sector. Increasing number of manufacturers, Service providers, companies, policy makers and the public were focusing their attention on electric mobility for convenience.

However, several cities, states and nations are adopting regulations which encourage the usage of electric vehicles and so charging stations. Electric Mobility as a Service (eMaaS) has gaining popularity to become one of the easiest and foremost solutions for today’s e-mobility challenges

• Growing adoption of passenger vehicle such as electric buses

The government of India has taken multiple initiatives to promote the manufacturing and adoption of electric passenger vehicles for public transport in India. Buses are the primary form of public transport in India and these mode of transport carries 20 to 40 percent of urban trips in many large cities.

The reason behind growing adoption of electric buses in India is due to environmental concern that are increasing day by day. The electric buses introduction and adoption will help to build a more sustainable and more intelligent mobility system that improves the quality of life for everyone

Opportunities

Rising adoption of renewable energy sources for electricity

The concept of electric cars in preventing the environment from further damage is generating hype globally among the people. But the electricity for charging these cars is generated from coal power plants, which further leads to using natural resources, making them scarce.

So, there wouldn't be a requirement for the shift from gasoline-based cars to electric vehicles, but consuming energy has changed completely, and most renewable sources are used to generate electricity.

Hence, the shift to using a renewable energy source is making electric vehicles more efficient. This factor will create an opportunity for the market to grow in India.

Restraints/Challenges faced by the India EV Charging Stations Market

High equipment and installation cost

The number of electric vehicles is rising rapidly, and so is the number of charging stations. But the cost for setting up the charging stations is a bit high, which is acting as a challenge for the manufacturers of the charging stations as they would incur a loss if the deployment of the number of charging stations were less.

The components which are required for setting up a charging station include electrician materials, electrician labor, charging station hardware, electricity grid, maintenance equipment, other materials and labors, transformer, and mobilization.

It has been observed that the cost for setting up the charging stations is different for different applications, which is more and varies as per the application. Thus, this factor will be considered a challenge for the market in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on India EV Charging Stations Market

The COVID-19 has positively affected India EV charging stations market. As data production was unaffected by the lockdowns, businesses and institutions were constantly working on these data to enhance their products. The demand for more electric vehicles was seen in that phase.

Recent Development

• In November 2020, Exicom Tele-Systems partnered with MG Motor India to use ZS EV batteries second life. These recycled batteries will increase the lifeline of batteries and resolve the electric vehicle battery shortage problem for the vehicle. The company will be able to increase its brand value with this partnership.
