South Korea 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

South Korea Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Market was valued at USD 413.61 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 4800.6 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 36.3% from 2023 to 2030.

The rising investment by the government of South Korea to improve the current EV charging stations along with adding additional EV infrastructure throughout the country boost the demand for EV charging market. For instance, in April 2022, the South Korean government announced to invest USD 318 million to expand the country’s EV recharging and hydrogen refueling networks, as it looks to promote growth in zero-emission vehicle ownership in 2022. The government wants 4.5 million eco-friendly vehicles, including 3.62 million electric vehicles, to be in use nationwide by 2030.

However, the lack of incentives and concerns about high installation costs are significant obstacles that could impede the growth of the EV charger installation sector. The main barrier is the expensive nature of level 3 and ultra-fast chargers, causing hesitation among potential adopters. Unlike level 1 and level 2 chargers, which can take several hours to fully charge, consumers expect quick refueling times similar to traditional fossil fuel vehicles, usually within 5 to 7 minutes.

Fast chargers capable of charging EVs in under 30 minutes are in high demand. However, the initial cost of level 3 chargers can be a deterrent for those considering transitioning to EVs. Lengthy charging times could interfere with individuals' busy schedules, making the convenience factor a crucial consideration.

On the other hand, the integration of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging enables bi-directional exchange of electrical energy between plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) and the power grid. V2G technology allows EVs to store surplus electricity and release it back to the grid, adding value for EV owners and enhancing the functionality of the electrical system.

The development of V2G charging has simplified the charging process for EVs, positioning them as a prominent transportation option. Consequently, the market for charging stations has become crucial in connecting EVs to the grid and facilitating charging.

Manufacturers have a significant opportunity with V2G charging technology, as it is poised to transform the EV industry and shape the future of EV charging. Although there is a substantial upfront cost associated with installing V2G charging stations, the benefits of V2G infrastructure outweigh those of standard smart charging. This anticipated growth in V2G technology presents a promising opportunity for EV connector manufacturers to produce advanced connectors capable of withstanding the electrical demands of V2G systems.
