According to DIGITIMES figures, the number of public chargers around the world exceeded 5.34 million in 2024, of which 90% were installed/managed by charging service operators in China, Europe and the US.
More than 70% of the chargers in China were installed/managed by the top-5 operators. In France and Italy, more than 50% of the chargers were deployed by the top-3 operators. In the US, the top-5 operators accounted for more than 67.5% of the chargers.
DIGITIMES believes that megawatt (MW) charging, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and J3400 charging connector standards will draw keen interest among the charging operators in various regions in 2025.
