DETROIT – By 2030, Guidehouse Insights expects more than 185 million Electric Vehicles will be in use with nearly 170 million charge points deployed. Many of these charge points are anticipated to require networking platforms that can streamline various aspects of charge point management such as broadcasting charge point availability to EV drivers, managing access and transactions, controlling energy costs, and sourcing renewable electricity.

As the broader EV ecosystem and technologies evolve and mature, new opportunities are emerging for EV drivers, site hosts, fleets, and grid operators, raising the stakes for platform providers. Innovations in charging communications are streamlining how EV drivers access public charge points, automaker adoption of bidirectional charging systems is opening markets for revenue generating vehicle-to-grid services, and integrated energy storage in charging equipment and at charging sites presents new energy management demands. To stay competitive in this market, networking platform providers need to stay ahead of these trends.
