Japan Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Market was valued at USD 334.83 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 3824.2 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 36.0% from 2023 to 2030. Electric vehicle chargers are characterized by the rate at which they deliver energy to the vehicle's battery. They serve as a vital infrastructure connecting plug-in electric vehicles to electrical outlets for the purpose of recharging the vehicle's battery. These chargers facilitate the charging process by supplying the necessary electrical energy to the EV's battery.
Charging stations are compatible with electric vehicles, neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), and plug-in hybrids, allowing them to connect to an electrical source for charging. Some charging stations come equipped with advanced functionalities such as smart meters, cellular connectivity, and network access.
The charging of EVs can be carried out through several levels of charging such as level 1, level 2, and level 3. The higher the level of charging, the faster the charging process causing more power to be delivered to the vehicle. The use of electric vehicles significantly reduces the carbon footprints released into the atmosphere, which contain toxic gas. The growing threat of carbon emissions and other harmful gases stemming from transportation has triggered the vital necessity of adopting electric vehicles.
In addition, the penetration of EV charging is high in commercial spaces as compared to residential ones. Long-distance trips would benefit from ultra-fast charging capabilities made possible by public charging infrastructure. However, EV chargers for residential spaces offer significant growth potential as they are affordable and more convenient for charging electric vehicles as compared to commercial charging stations.
Japan’s transport ministry is considering measures that would make it easier to install electric vehicle charging facilities alongside public roads that aim to promote the use of eco-friendly vehicles in order to reduce emissions. The ministry further plans to install more charging facilities in short lanes alongside public roads and examine the impact on traffic. For instance, there were 877 EV charging stations located at Michi no Eki, and 383 at service or parking areas next to public roads as of March 2021.
The presence of several prominent companies that are engaged in various strategies such as collaboration and product launch is expected to create ample growth of the market. For instance, in January 2022, Here Technologies and Digital Charging Solutions GmbH entered a strategic collaboration to provide a seamless charging experience for electric vehicles. DCS has expertise in authenticating the charging process, access to charging stations, payment, Booking, and billing services, and more than 280,000 charging points across Europe and Japan.
Additionally, in November 2021, ENECHANGE Ltd announced to offer ENECHANGE EV charging service with the aim of improving the convenience of EV charging and increasing the value of parking spaces across Japan. Through this development, the company plans to work in order to contribute to the expansion of EVs and charging infrastructure.
The absence of incentives and concerns about the steep installation expenses for EV chargers could hinder the sector's growth. One of the most significant obstacles to expanding this industry is the substantial upfront cost associated with level 3 and ultra-fast chargers. While level 1 and level 2 chargers can require anywhere from 6 to 16 hours for a full charge, consumers are accustomed to refuelling their conventional fossil fuel vehicles in just 5 to 7 minutes.
Fast chargers that can charge EVs in under 30 minutes are therefore in demand on the market. A level 3 charging station can be somewhat expensive at first, though. For those who might want to transition to EVs, this could be a deterrent because a lengthy charging period might interfere with their already hectic schedules.
A technology called vehicle-to-grid (V2G) EV charging allows plug-in EVs and the power grid to exchange electrical energy in both directions. Electric vehicles (EVs) can store extra electricity and release it to the grid thanks to V2G technology. This may enhance the functionality of the electrical component and increase value for EV owners.
The development of this concept has made charging for electric vehicles easier, and EVs are now among people's top transportation options. As a result, the entire market for charging stations is essential for connecting the electric vehicle to the grid and enabling the vehicle to charge.
Two V2G EV vehicle charging stations were erected by Enel Energia S.p.A. at the Italian Institute of Technology's Genoa headquarters. The installation is a part of MOV-E, a Nissan-sponsored corporate electric car sharing trial project. The Italian Institute of Technology received two battery electric vehicles (LEAF models) from Nissan as well as the Glide app management platform. The partnership between Enel and Nissan represents a shift in the way that technology is used for sustainable transportation.
As a result, manufacturers have a great chance with the V2G charging technology because it is predicted to change the EV industry and determine how EVs will be charged in the future. Although V2G infrastructure is more beneficial than smart charging, installing V2G charging stations has a hefty up-front cost. Manufacturers of EV connectors are projected to have opportunities to produce sophisticated connectors to withstand electrical architecture due to the predictable and anticipated expansion of V2G technology.
