Market Segmentation

Insight by Charger

On the basis of chargers, the European electric bus charging station market is categorized into off-board and on-board chargers, wherein the off-board category accounted for a larger share in 2023 in terms of volume. The category is expected to lead throughout the forecast period. Electric bus manufacturers are able to reduce the weight of the buses and makes them lighter, with the help of off-board station. This will result in fast charging at higher power levels. 

Insight by Type

On the basis of type, the European electric bus charging station market is divided into depot charging, opportunity charging, and others. Among these categories, the opportunity charging category accounted for the largest share in 2023 in terms of sales volume. However, the depot charging category is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period due to the increasing preference for overnight charging buses among private and public agencies.

Insight by Power

Based on power, the European electric bus charging station market is categorized into less than 50 kW, 50–150 kW, 151–450 kW, and more than 450 kW. Of all, the less than 50 kW category accounted for the largest share in 2023 in terms of volume. However, the more than 450 kW category is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing demand for rapid charging of electric buses.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

European electric bus charging station market has been driven by several key factors, predominantly increasing government funding schemes, and increasing government plans for electrification of public transport. 

In European Union, governments are undertaking key initiatives to opt for green energy-driven vehicles. The policies related to electric buses in EU are mainly focused on technological optimization and market development. For instance, the European Commission supported a Europe-wide electromobility initiative, Green eMotion, worth €41.8 million (USD 46.9 million), in partnership with forty-two partners from industry, utilities, electric vehicle manufacturers, municipalities, universities, and technology and research institutions. 

The project developed prototypes to connect the islands of electromobility existing at the time of the project start. An overarching ICT architecture was defined and standards, especially for ICT interfaces, were set. New business models for public charging infrastructure were analyzed and ways are shown for its optimized integration into the grid. This, in turn, is expected to benefit the European electric bus charging station market in the near future.

Challenges

Key factors hindering the growth of the European electric bus charging station market are high installation cost and high maintenance cost of an electric bus charging station. 

Geographic Overview
