Based on charging infrastructure, the level 2 segment accounted for a market share of around 45% in 2023, due to its balance between charging speed and cost-effectiveness. It provides a reasonable charging rate for home and public use without the high costs associated with Level 3 fast chargers. Level 2 chargers are suitable for a wide range of locations, including residential, commercial, and municipal settings, making them a versatile choice. Their installation is less complex compared to Level 3 chargers, and they offer adequate charging speed for most daily EV usage scenarios. This combination of affordability, practicality, and flexibility drives their market dominance.
Based on service, the hosted segment is dominating with a market share of around 42% in 2023, due to its flexibility and scalability in providing charging solutions for various business models. Hosted services allow businesses and organizations to leverage existing infrastructure for EV charging without significant upfront investments, as the service provider manages the installation and maintenance. This model is particularly appealing for commercial properties and fleet operators who prefer outsourcing the operational aspects of charging stations.
Additionally, hosted services often include integrated solutions such as billing and energy management, making them a comprehensive choice for users seeking convenience and efficiency. The scalability and lower capital requirements make hosted solutions a preferred option for expanding EV charging networks rapidly.
Several companies provide solutions in this segment such as ChargePoint’s "CP Stations-as-a-Service," which allows businesses to deploy charging stations without upfront costs, and Blink Charging’s "Blink Network," offering managed services for various location types. Additionally, EVBox's "Everon" platform provides a hosted solution for businesses to easily manage and scale their EV charging infrastructure.
Asia-Pacific region dominated 33% share of the EV charging as a service market in 2023, due to its rapid urbanization, high electric vehicle (EV) adoption rates, and substantial investments in charging infrastructure. Additionally, China leads with its aggressive electrification policies and vast network of charging stations, such as the ones operated by State Grid and China Southern Power Grid. Additionally, the rapid expansion of charging networks and technological advancements in the region further drive market growth.
North America is a major player in the EV charging as a service market, driven by high EV adoption rates and significant investments in charging infrastructure. The U.S. and Canada have implemented various incentives for EV purchases and infrastructure development, with major networks such as Tesla Supercharger and ChargePoint expanding rapidly. Government policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and state-level mandates, further support growth. The region benefits from strong consumer demand and technological innovation, including advancements in fast-charging solutions.
Europe is a leading market for EV CaaS, due to its aggressive climate policies and high levels of EV adoption. The European Union has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are driving investments in EV infrastructure. Countries such as Norway, Germany, and the UK are at the forefront with extensive charging networks and government incentives. Initiatives such as the EU’s "Green Deal" and various national policies are promoting the expansion of charging infrastructure and supporting the market growth.
