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.

Europe Electric Bus Charging Station Market : Geographic Overview

Geographically, the U.K. electric bus charging station market accounted for the largest share in 2020 in terms of volumes. This is attributed to the increasing adoption rate of electric vehicles, government support schemes for the adoption of electric vehicles, and for developing infrastructure related to electric vehicles including charging stations.
