The EV charging infrastructure market is experiencing rapid expansion, with home charging stations becoming the top choice for electric vehicle owners. New data shows residential installations outpacing commercial charging networks.
Strong Market Growth Through 2030
The global EV charging market will reach $125.39 billion by 2030, growing 25.5% annually, according to Grand View Research. IDTechEx projects charging hardware sales alone will exceed $104 billion by 2035, driven by home and workplace charging demand.
Market Data Forecast estimates the EV chargers market at $23.69 billion by 2033, with 15.85% yearly growth. Asia-Pacific leads with 45.5% market share.
Regional Infrastructure Expansion
United States: American charging points will jump from 4 million today to 35 million by 2030, PwC reports. Residential installations will capture 80% of growth—22 million single-family homes and 6 million multi-unit buildings. US EV ownership is projected to reach 33 million vehicles by 2030, up from 3 million currently.
Europe: European charging point installations grew from 34% to 37% between 2023 and 2024, according to GridX data. This infrastructure development continues despite slower battery electric vehicle sales in some regions, positioning Europe for future EV adoption waves.
Technology Advances
Home EV charging stations now include smart charging, grid integration, and energy management as standard features. Level 2 home chargers remain most popular for overnight charging.
Market Factors
Key trends shaping the market:
· Grid Management: Utilities use time-of-use rates to manage peak charging loads
· Government Support: Federal tax credits and state rebates boost home charger sales
· Installation Services: Professional setup and maintenance services expand with equipment sales
Outlook
Home charging will remain primary for most EV owners, though several factors may influence growth:
· Limited multi-unit building access in many areas
· Faster public charging may increase usage
· Workplace charging expansion could reduce home demand
· Grid upgrades needed for high-power residential charging
The residential EV charging market offers strong growth opportunities driven by electric vehicle adoption and consumer preferences for home charging convenience.
