The Top 5: Largest EV Charging Station Companies In The World

Fossil-fuels-based cars are getting replaced by fast-emerging electric vehicles (EVs) with sales of the latter increasing tremendously over the past decade, especially the last two years. As per the latest data, 2021 was a record-setting year as EV sales doubled to around 6.9 million EVs worldwide. The rise of EVs also saw the emergence of sectors on which EVs depend, directly or indirectly. For instance, some of the largest EV battery manufacturers benefitted from the saga of the transition to green mobility. Similarly, to support the seamless adaptation of EVs for mobility, massive charging station networks  are imminent.

The global electric vehicle charging station market size is expected to reach USD 111.90 billion by 2028 from USD 17.59 billion in 2021, clocking a stellar CAGR of 30.26% between 2021 to 2028, as per a report – ‘Electric Vehicle Charging Station Market, 2021-2028’ by Fortune Business Insights. Some of the largest EV charging station companies are bound to emerge during this transition.
