    2 2022 ChargePoint Formerly known as Coulomb Technologies, this company claims to run the world’s largest network of electric vehicle charging stations. It acquired 10,000 charging stations from General Electric, bringing its total to 35,000. According to the most recent estimates, the corporation employs roughly 60,000 people.
    3 2021 ABB ABB made a partnership with Porsche to develop EV chargers.

     

    EV promotional policy is the most important factor for Electric vehicle fast charger market. The importance of this factor can be judged by the fact that, in US, states which follow California ZEV mandate, represent 35% of total EV population.

     

    In china, the mandatory sales quota for EVs had put the market in overdrive mode for past 3 years, but subsidy withdrawal in Aug 2019 led to a contraction in overall 2019 volumes.

     

    Varying charging standards and low EV PARC are the most important challenge to Electric vehicle fast charger market. Despite all the improvements in electric vehicle technologies, charging infrastructure still suffers from inconsistent data availability and a lack of consistent standards in most countries.

     

    For DC fast charging, connector types vary by OEMs as well as region. The Japanese OEMs prefer CHAdeMO fast charging standard whereas American and European OEMs prefer Combined Charging System (CCS), China has created its own GB/T standard for domestic DC fast charging networks.

     

    In Colorado and California, Rivian is opening its first DC fast-charging locations.

     

    The three locations mark the beginning of the Rivian Adventure Network, a nationwide DC rapid charging network. In Salida, Colorado, the first Rivian Adventure Network location opened to the public.

     

    It had four DC fast chargers, one of which was a pull-through charger for trailer-towing cars. The location also has four Level 2 chargers, also known as Rivian Waypoints, that are accessible to all EVs.

     

    The second and third Adventure Network locations are in California’s Inyokern and Bishop. The EV manufacturer Electrek, was working on the Rivian Adventure Network and recruited individuals who have experience with Tesla’s Supercharger network.

     

    To supply fast chargers for a new nationwide EV charging network, Wise EV, a division of renewable energy service provider Wise Power, has partnered with Tritium DCFC Limited, a global developer and producer of direct current (“DC”) fast chargers for electric vehicles.

     

    With DC fast chargers at significant gas stations through one of Wise EV’s partners in gas station operation, the charging network is anticipated to launch with 25 locations throughout Florida.

     

    Tritium, a manufacturer of DC fast chargers, is currently taking orders for its first EV charging system for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Programme. Tritium is based in Tennessee.

     

    States are receiving funds through the NEVI programme of the US Department of Transportation to establish an interstate system of EV chargers.

     

    The NEVI-compliant charging system from Tritium will have two power rectifiers and four PKM150 150 kW charging stations that can simultaneously supply power to four EVs.

     

    POTENTIAL BUSINESS MODEL(S)  FOR DC FAST CHARGING STATIONS

     

    As we discussed earlier that most of the charging infrastructure initiatives are driven by government initiatives, what is in it for EV charger manufacturers and network providers?

     

    We believe, as the market starts growing from consumer demand and begins to reach mainstream, there is a strong potential for a complete transition into a commercially sustainable business.

     

    We have listed down three business cases below

     

    1.Charge fees for electricity usage– Now, this is the easiest of the three. You source electricity in bulk from energy and utilities companies in bulk and charge a mark-up on your services. The pricing could vary as per location, timing and number of users.

     

    2.Advertising- Since, all the charging outlets will have a digital user interface, location-based advertising could bring in substantial revenues. For example, we learnt from our Bike sharing report that the biggest bike sharing operator in US, Citi Bike generates ~10-15% of its revenue from ads.

     

    3.Installing chargers at supermarkets and stores- About 25-30% of urban traffic is a result of people not able to find a parking spot. If supermarkets and stores could provide charging points, it will not only increase their retail sales but also an additional revenue source.

     

    The big stores like Walmart and Target have already started making a move in this direction. In June 2019, Walmart completed installation of 350kW charging points in 100 stores across 34 US states initially announced in April 2018.Target plans to have more than 100 charging sites in 20 US states by 2020.
