Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

The 2012 revenue estimate of $355 million demonstrates dramatic year-over-year growth of 180%, driven by the still nascent adoption of plug-in electric vehicles.

Charging systems for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), including private and public systems, yielded just $127 million in global revenue in 2011. However, the 2012 revenue estimate of $355 million demonstrates dramatic year-over-year growth of 180%, driven by the still nascent adoption of PEVs.

The EV charging infrastructure market in the United States is a relatively small percentage of the global market, with 2011 revenue of $27 million. However, 2012 revenue estimates of $92 million show significant growth. More than a dozen companies are aspiring to develop national charging infrastructure networks, ensuring vigorous competition.
