Africa Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Market by Charging Type (Off-Board Top-Down Pantograph, On-Board Bottom-Up Pantograph, and Charging Via Connector), Charging Voltage Level (Level 1 (<3.7 KW), Level 2 (3.7–22 KW), and Level 3 (Above 22 KW)), Charger Type (Slow Charger and Fast Charger), Vehicle Charging (AC, DC, Inductive Charging), Application (Commercial and Residential), Commercial (Commercial Public EV Charging Stations, On-Road Charging and Commercial Private EV Charging Stations), Installation Type (Portable Charger and Fixed Charger), IoT Connectivity (Non-Connected Charging Stations and Smart Connected Charging Stations (Networked)) and Charging Standard (CCS, CHADEMO & GB/T, Type 1/Normal Charging, Tesla Super Charger, Type-2, and Level 3) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2023–2030
Africa Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Market was valued at USD 31.93 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 256.53 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 30.3% from 2023 to 2030.
The electric vehicle charging market is primarily propelled by government initiatives aimed at accelerating electric vehicle (EV) production. Governments worldwide are implementing policies such as subsidies, tax incentives, and emissions regulations to encourage automakers to manufacture more EVs. As EV production increases, the demand for accessible and convenient charging infrastructure rises, driving the growth of the EV charging market.
These government-driven efforts not only support the expansion of clean and sustainable transportation options but also stimulate the development of the necessary infrastructure to facilitate widespread EV adoption. For instance, in September 2022, The Minister for trade and industry, Ryad Mezzour, announced that the country would have to raise its electric vehicle production to 100,000 every two years against its current 50,000 electric cars production.
However, lack of incentives and worries about the high installation costs of EV charger installation could prevent the growth of the sector. One of the biggest barriers to the expansion of this business is the high initial cost of level 3 and ultra-fast chargers. While level 1 and level 2 chargers can take anything from 6 to 16 hours to fully charge, consumers typically charge their fossil fuel vehicles in 5 to 7 minutes.
Fast chargers that can charge EVs in under 30 minutes are therefore in demand on the market. A level 3 charging station can be somewhat expensive at first, though. For those who might want to transition to EVs, this could be a deterrent because a lengthy charging period might interfere with their already hectic schedules.
On the other hand, the integration of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) EV charging allows plug-in EVs and the power grid to exchange electrical energy in both directions. Electric vehicles (EVs) can store extra electricity and release it to the grid thanks to V2G technology. This may enhance the functionality of the electrical component and increase value for EV owners.
The development of this concept has made charging for electric vehicles easier, and EVs are now among people's top transportation options. As a result, the entire market for charging stations is essential for connecting the electric vehicle to the grid and enabling the vehicle to charge.
As a result, manufacturers have a great chance with the V2G charging technology because it is predicted to change the EV industry and determine how EVs will be charged in the future. Although V2G infrastructure is more beneficial than smart charging, installing V2G charging stations has a hefty up-front cost. Manufacturers of EV connectors are projected to have opportunities to produce sophisticated connectors to withstand electrical architecture due to the predictable and anticipated expansion of V2G technology.
