introduction of RC EV Charging

By the end of 2022, there were a total of 2.7 million public charging stations globally, with over 900,000 installations in 2022 alone.

By the end of 2022, there were a total of 2.7 million public charging stations globally, with over 900,000 installations in 2022 alone. This represents a 55% increase compared to 2021 and is comparable to the pre-pandemic growth rate of 50% between 2015 and 2019.

China, being the largest market for electric vehicles (EVs) and having a dense population, actively develops charging infrastructure with the support of policies. As a result, the majority of global charging stations are located in China, and over 40% of them are fast-charging stations, which is significantly higher than other regions.

In terms of charging infrastructure development, Europe ranks second after China, with a significant disparity between Eastern and Western Europe. South Korea has experienced rapid growth in the number of EV charging stations, ranking third globally. The United States has fewer charging stations compared to Europe and South Korea, but their distribution is not uniform. Nearly one-third of the public charging infrastructure in the country is located in California.

Typically, we use the standards proposed by the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Directive (AFID) to assess a country's level of charging infrastructure. AFID recommends a target of 10 electric vehicles per public charging station, resulting in a ratio of 10:1, and each pure electric vehicle should be equipped with a 1 kW charging power.

As of 2022, the global average is 10 electric vehicles per charging station, with each electric vehicle having 2.4 kW charging power, meeting the recommended standards by AFID.
