Consumers are taking it upon themselves to purchase and install chargers at home, while businesses are increasingly installing charge points at workplaces.
In 2018, 20% of EV owners in the US did not have access to home chargers.
Today, more than 40% of car owners living in large urban cities in Germany don’t have private parking spaces where installation of a home charger is an option.
In 2021, China had the largest network of EV chargers with over 2.6 million units; of this, 1.14 million were public, and the larger part of 1.46 million were private, only available to private hotel guests or at private workplaces.
In 2022, China managed to add an additional 626,000 chargers to its national public infrastructure, which is a monumental feat.
By 2030, 135 million private chargers are expected to be added to the global stock, over tenfold of the number of public chargers available today.
