Market Trends of Electric Two Wheeler Charging Station Industry
Emergence Of Smart Charging Solutions To Encourage Electric Charging Stations Growth
- One significant trend in the electric two-wheeler charging market is the emergence of smart charging solutions. Smart charging refers to the integration of advanced technologies and digital capabilities into electric vehicle charging infrastructure, enabling more efficient and intelligent charging processes.
- Smart charging solutions offer several benefits and address various challenges associated with electric two-wheeler charging. Smart charging systems have the capability to manage the charging load by adjusting the charging rate based on the electricity grid's demand. By optimizing the charging process, these systems can help balance the electricity grid, reduce peak demand, and avoid overloading the grid infrastructure.
- A study by the European Union's Joint Research Centre suggests that smart charging could reduce the peak electricity demand from electric vehicles by up to 30%. Smart charging solutions can take advantage of dynamic pricing models and time-of-use tariffs. They enable charging stations to communicate with the grid and optimize charging based on electricity pricing. Users can take advantage of lower electricity rates during off-peak hours, incentivizing them to charge their electric two-wheelers at specific times. The adoption of smart charging solutions is driven by advancements in connectivity, data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies enable seamless communication between charging infrastructure, electric two-wheelers, and the electricity grid, creating a more intelligent and efficient charging ecosystem.
- The trend towards smart charging solutions in the electric two-wheeler charging market is expected to enhance charging infrastructure performance, grid integration, and user experience, further accelerating the transition toward sustainable electric mobility.
Asia Pacific Region Expected To Witness Significant Growth
- Asia-Pacific region is likely to hold a significant market share in the Electric two-wheeler electric charging station market during the forecast period. In this region, China, Japan, India, and South Korea are anticipated to act as potential markets due to increasing e-bike sales in these countries. Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to reduce their carbon footprints by encouraging the use of electric bikes, electric vehicles, and bicycles, owing to an increase in awareness of the hazardous effects of using vehicles running on fossil fuels.
- Large sales production and sales volumes in China, growing demand for affordable electric scooters for short-distance commuting, and governments promoting electric two-wheelers are expected to drive the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period. China's rapidly growing economy is driving the expansion of advanced technologies to improve electrification in the country, boosting charging station development during the forecast period.
- The Indian two-wheeler charging station market is likely to have positive growth in the near future due to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the country and the need for EV charging infrastructure in scarcely populated areas in the country. Moreover, the rapid implementation of stringent government regulations to curb automobile emissions and increase battery efficiency has catalyzed the demand for e-scooters and motorcycles in the automobile industry, increasing the demand for charging infrastructure.
- Players operating in the market are expanding their foothold to dominate the market. For instance, in March 2022, Automovil, the mobility start-up in India, announced that it planned to establish 500 EV charging stations in 11 cities in India. The company has partnered with Midgard Electric as the EV charging partner to install Bharat AC-001 and DC-001 EV chargers for Automovil'soutlets.
- In March 2022, Exicom, the power solutions, and telecom equipment company, announced that it has installed around 5000 EV charging stations in 200 cities in India. The company has installed around 3600AC and 1400DC fast chargers in places like bus depots, public charging stations, households, residential communities, etc.
