with an average annual compound growth rate of 43.68%. As the global public EV charger industry continues to heat up,
it is estimated that the number of global public EV chargers will reach 1.926 million in 2021, and it will further reach 2.765 million in 2022.
2. Global public EV charger market composition
According to data, there are 1.308 million public EV chargers in the world in 2020. Among them, the global number of slow public EV chargers is the largest at 922,000, accounting for 70.5% of the world’s;
the number of public fast EV chargers is 386,000, accounting for 29.5 %,
the main reason is that the fast EV charger has a higher technical barrier.
3. The number of global EV charger-related patent applications
With the development of the global EV charger industry, EV charger-related technologies are constantly innovating and breaking through,
and the number of patent applications is also increasing year by year. Data shows that the number of global EV charger-related patent applications has increased from 6,217 in 2017 to 7,694 in 2020,
with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.4%. As of December 16, 2021, the number of global EV charger-related patent applications 2021 reached 3,502.
4. The composition of the source countries of global EV charger patent applications
At present, China is the world’s largest technology source country for EV chargers,
and the number of EV charger-related patent applications accounted for 73.7% of the world’s total EV charger-related patent applications.
Secondly, the proportion of patent applications related to EV chargers in the United States accounted for 8.4%.
The proportion of EV charger-related patent applications in Germany, South Korea, and Japan accounted for 7.3%, 2.4%, and 2.3%, respectively.
5. Global EV charger subsidy policy
Sustainable development is the long-term development goal of all countries in the world,
and the promotion of electric vehicles is obviously an important measure of environmental protection.
Since the implementation of electric vehicles, various countries around the world have introduced subsidies for electric vehicle EV chargers to support the development of the industry,
and strengthen the promotion of electric vehicles and the construction of electric vehicle infrastructure. The support policies of countries around the world have played a significant role in the development of the electric vehicle EV charger industry.
As an important role, subsidy policies and supporting demand jointly stimulate the growth of the EV charger industry.
Relevant subsidy policies for EV charger construction in some countries around the world
| Nation | Policy | ||
| Supply-side | Demand-side | Other | |
| America | The government invested 2.4 billion US dollars to promote the development of batteries and components, electric vehicles, and their components that have been supporting airport facilities | Tax deductions for purchases of electric vehicles are $2,500-7,500 | Goal: reach 1 million plug-in electric vehicles |
| France | A total investment of 2 billion euros will be used for the research and development of batteries and related components and the construction of public facilities; all newly built apartment blocks with parking lots must be equipped with car charging stations. | The government provides a subsidy of 5,000 euros for the purchase of electric vehicles | / |
| Germany | invest 500 million euros to support the research and development of electric vehicles, including the promotion of electric vehicles, battery research and development, recycling, and construction of charging facilities | Provide five-year tax exemption measures for consumers who purchase electric vehicles | / |
| UK | / | / | Provide 100 million pounds to support the development of new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles |
| Spain | / | Pure electric vehicles can enjoy a 47% subsidy on the car price, and hybrid vehicles can enjoy a 10% subsidy on the car price | / |
| Japan | Invest 3 billion yen to support basic research on next-generation battery technology; invest 2.6 billion yen and 12.4 billion yen respectively for the construction of charging stations for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles | Scrap vehicles, in exchange for electric vehicles, will provide a subsidy of 250,000 yen | / |

6. 2022 China’s EV charger industry market status and development prospect forecast analysis
On December 14, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Notice on the Implementation Plan for Rejuvenating Industrial Economic Operation and Promoting High-quality Industrial Development”. It was proposed that the promotion and application of new energy vehicles should be accelerated, and supporting facilities such as EV chargers and power station replacement should be accelerated. Construction, to further promote the construction of charging infrastructure and bring development opportunities to my country’s EV charger industry.
6.1 The number of public EV chargers continues to grow
The data shows that as of November 2021, the member units of the alliance have reported a total of 1.092 million public EV chargers, an increase of 30 thousand units from the previous month, and a year-on-year increase of 57.1%. Among them, there are 45 million DC EV chargers, 646,000 AC EV chargers, and 406 AC and DC-integrated EV chargers. From December 2020 to November 2021, approximately 33,000 public EV chargers will be added every month.
6.2 The increase in the number of charging facilities built with vehicles continues to rise
From January to November 2021, the incremental increase in charging facilities built with vehicles will continue to rise, up by 198.1% year-on-year, and the increase in public charging infrastructure will increase by 59.1% year-on-year. As of November 2021, 1.293 million EV chargers have been built with vehicles.
6.3 Policies are Good for industry development
As the new energy automobile industry is still in a stage of development difficulties, many uncertain factors, and immature technologies and products, the government should also give strong support to this emerging industry. Will continue to promote high-power charging technology demonstration technology verification, through the establishment of high-power charging demonstration pilot projects, and carry out high-power charging technology-related standard pre-research work. As a supplement to the existing charging mode, further, accelerate the promotion and application of AC charging sockets, and continuously improve the formulation and implementation of related technical standards such as the “Integrated AC Power Supply Standard for Conductive Charging of Electric Vehicles”.
6.4 New energy vehicles drive industry development
In the future, new energy vehicle energy replenishment methods will be diversified and scene-oriented. As a supplement to operational vehicle energy replenishment methods, battery swap will be further developed. It is expected that more car companies will develop and apply battery swap models in 2025. For example, cities with a relatively concentrated operation of vehicles will actively promote power exchange models and will provide policy support. Through the promotion of a certain scale of power exchange stations, promote the technological advancement and standardization of power exchange facilities, and explore new development paths and operating models.
6.5 The number of EV chargers will increase
On the whole, the prospects of my country’s new energy vehicle market are still promising, with huge development potential. With the construction of charging stations, the ratio of my country’s new energy vehicles and EV chargers has gradually become more reasonable. Although the layout of the charging infrastructure is becoming more and more perfect, there are still shortcomings compared with the number of new energy vehicles, and the growth will accelerate in the future.
