Pike Research forecasts 37% CAGR for EV charging equipment, with 2.4 million units sold in 2020; wireless charging to show strong growth

Green Car Congress

Pike sees sales of EVSE in North America growing almost tenfold, from around 66,000 units in 2012 to 626,000 units in 2020. Although EVSE sales have been driven by federal stimulus dollars in 2011–2012, these projects are winding down, so sales will shift to non-publicly funded units. Kingdom; the Netherlands; and Italy.

Exploring the adoption of EVs in the US, Europe and China; charging scenarios and infrastructure

Green Car Congress

Within the EU, it cites examples from France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Denmark. Furthest along with electricity market deregulation, the US can serve as a model for how to design market rules to reduce the cost of integrating EVs on the grid. Policies will play a key role here, the report notes.
