The report analyses the Electric Bus Charging Station market’s drivers and restraints and their impact on demand throughout the projection period. In addition, the report examines global opportunities in the global Electric Bus Charging Station market.

Electric Bus Charging Station Market: Overview

A bus that runs on electricity instead of gasoline, diesel, or other fuels is called an electric vehicle (EV). An electric bus runs solely on electricity, unlike a hybrid car with an internal combustion engine. As a result, to underline that they only run-on electricity, electric vehicles are occasionally referred to as “all-electric vehicles.” When an electric bus needs power, it draws it from the grid and stores it in a tank that can be recharged. This is precisely how our technology operates. Until they require recharging, we utilize them without restriction after plugging them in to charge the battery.

Electric Bus Charging Station Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

Early in 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak had a minimal impact on the EV charging sector because of lockdowns. However, due to government incentives worldwide, the demand for EVs and related markets surged in 2021, which boosted the requirement for EV charging stations.

Globally, top EV charger producers and network providers have expanded the number of their personal and public EV chargers. For instance, Shell has over 250,000 EV charging stations worldwide as of December 2021, a massive increase from less than 50,000 in 2020. ABB also had over 400,000 EV charging stations as of December 2021, an increase of more than 100% from the prior year. In addition, all other networks and charging station makers have expanded the availability of EV charging. This market was less affected by the epidemic because of the significant drive by governments worldwide to phase out ICE automobiles.

Electric Bus Charging Station Market: Growth Drivers

Surging government support for the development of electric bus charging station

The rise in the value proposition of electric vehicles is being influenced by government policy support in the form of R&D, the creation of novel technologies, mandates and regulations, financial incentives, and other measures. Many governments are assisting electric car manufacturers by offering tax credits and other subsidies to increase sales.

Additionally, the governments provide incentives and subsidies for constructing the infrastructure needed for EV chargers and a road tax exemption. The market for electric bus charging stations has been driven by several important variables, most notably rising government funding programs and greater government ambitions for the electrification of mass buses. Governments are also initiating considerable initiatives to promote the usage of vehicles powered by green energy. For instance, European electric bus policies primarily focus on market expansion and technological innovation.

The European Commission also supported Green eMotion, an initiative to promote electromobility across all of Europe that was started in partnership with 42 partners from businesses, utilities, electric vehicle producers, municipalities, universities, and technology and research institutions.

The surging popularity of Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is attaining popularity, which is also anticipated to fuel industry expansion. Additionally, the emphasis placed on subscription-based charging models has contributed to the growth of EV charging stations. According to the model, numerous utilities have partnered with OEMs to offer their consumers subscription-based services, including Vattenfall AB, Duke Energy Corporation, and New York Power Authority. For instance, in April 2019, Duke Energy Corp. and ChargePoint Inc. struck a collaboration agreement to provide subscription-based services to its EV drivers in North Carolina, a U.S. state.

However, some expenses related to the EV charging infrastructures, such as maintenance, installation, and operational costs, are detrimental to the market’s expansion.

Electric Bus Charging Station Market: Segmentation Analysis

In our research scope, the moringa market is segmented into charger, type, and power. The global electric bus charging stations market is divided into two categories based on the charger: off-board and on-board chargers. In terms of sales volume in 2021, the onboard category held a higher proportion. Therefore, the type is anticipated to be in the lead throughout the projected period.

However, the off-board type is expected to have higher growth throughout the projected period since it enables the producers of electric buses to make their vehicles lighter and lighter by using off-board stations. Fast charging at more incredible power levels will come from this.
