Demand for Charging Pile Types in Different Regions

0 Comments

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the global electric vehicle (EV) market, the layout of charging infrastructures has become the core battleground for the energy transition in various countries. However, the differences in economic level, policy orientation, power grid conditions and user habits in different regions directly shape the diversified demand for charging piles. As a global leading EV charging solution provider, Zeconex always takes “localized innovation” as the anchor point, and provides customized products and services with in-depth insight into regional market characteristics.

Europe: Policy-driven “Fast Charging Revolution” and “Green DNA”

Core Demand:

Supercharging Network Expansion: The EU's “Fit for 55” program calls for 3.5 million public charging piles to be built by 2030, of which 3.5 million will be public charging piles. The EU “Fit for 55” program calls for 3.5 million public charging stations by 2030, with a surge in demand for high-power DC fast chargers (≥150kW) to support long-distance travel and taxi/logistics fleet operations.

Renewable energy integration: PV + storage + charging piles (V2G) integrated solutions are favored, and government subsidies in Germany, the Netherlands and other countries promote “smart charging” penetration rate of more than 40%.

Stringent certification standards: CE, UL, ISO 15118 and other regulations require charging piles to have high security, electromagnetic compatibility and data privacy protection.

North America: Flexible Deployment and User Experience in Multiple Scenarios

Core Requirements:

Urban Fast Charging vs. Home Slow Charging: California, USA, is dominated by public fast charging (over 60%), while the Midwest relies on home L2 charging piles (7kW-22kW Commercial EV Charger).

Extreme Climate Adaptability: Canada's minus 40°C and Arizona's 50°C require charging piles with a wide temperature range.

Payment ecology integration: Docking with ChargePoint, Electrify America and other platforms, supporting credit card/Apple Pay and other payment methods.

Asia-Pacific: “Scale Sprint” and “Localization Adaptation” under Policy Dividend

Core Demand:

China - High-power Charging Dominates: Driven by “New Infrastructure” policy, demand for super charging piles above 360kW increases by 80% year-on-year. Driven by the policy of “New Infrastructure”, the demand for super charging piles will increase by 80% annually, and charging piles are required to support GB/T 20234.3 standard.

Southeast Asia - Cost-effectiveness is king: Thailand, Indonesia and other countries focus on cost-sensitive AC slow charging piles (3.3kW-7kW), requiring moisture-proof and salt spray-proof design.

Japan and Korea - refined operation: Tokyo, Seoul and other cities demand value-added services such as integrated advertising screens and Wi-Fi hotspots for charging piles.

Emerging Markets: Durability and Scalability in the Infrastructure Gap

Core Requirements:

Middle East - Desert Durability: The UAE and Saudi Arabia require charging piles that are resistant to sand, dust, and high temperatures, and compatible with solar energy storage systems.

Africa - Off-grid power solutions: Kenya, Nigeria and other countries are exploring the “PV + charging post” micro-grid model to reduce the reliance on traditional power grids.
