Operations and maintenance services of electric vehicle (EV) chargers will be in great demand as the number of electric vehicles increases and strong infrastructure support is necessary for them. With the world ushering in sustainable transport solutions, increased installation of charging stations is necessary to support the rising electric vehicles. Installing the chargers alone, though, is never sufficient for efficient system running and maintenance to avoid system failure, charging downtime, and customer dissatisfaction. This requirement is rising demand for dedicated charger operations and maintenance services. Governments are increasingly stepping forward to expedite the green transition. As many as 55% of all countries have introduced tax incentives or subsidies towards accelerating the installation of EV chargers. Private sector players are also eager to establish a foothold in this promising segment by capitalizing upon opportunities in charging infrastructure, with development concerning ever more efficient, scalable, and reliable charging infrastructures. In parallel, the growth in charging technologies such as wireless charging, ultra-fast chargers, is pushing market growth further and creating greater opportunities for operations and maintenance service providers. Consequently, this makes the EV charger operations and maintenance services market a core enabler of the wider EV revolution and ensuring the reliability and safety of charging infrastructure for users of electric vehicles.

Technological advancements with both the battery and charging technologies are driving the adoption of electric vehicles, with that increasing demand for charger operations and maintenance services. Ultra-fast chargers can now charge vehicles in under 30 minutes and demand specialized maintenance capabilities to manage the complexities involved with high-power equipment; wireless charging is also emerging as a new technology, providing more convenient charging solutions. Such complex equipment needs to be constantly in an operative state in order to self-sustain itself; therefore, this needs further increase the requirement for service providers who can provide technical capabilities to sustain advanced infrastructure systems.

Electric Vehicle Charger Operations and Maintenance Services Market Drivers:

• Governments are important players in the development of the global EV charger operations and maintenance services market. 

As clean energy continues to gain pace everywhere around the globe, various governments are embracing some of the most ambitious electric vehicle adoption targets. For example, as it set a target of reducing at least 55% in CO2 emissions by 2030, one of the instruments put in place to achieve this includes the adoption of electric vehicles. Currently, most of the governments in the world have incentives in terms of tax breaks, grants, and subsidies for installing EV chargers. The incentives do not just encourage charging stations' installation but also create a demand for services that operate and maintain the infrastructures so that they can function smoothly. For instance, India has a Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme that includes subsidies to install public EV chargers. The measures are already driving private investment in the sector, and maintenance and operational services will be critical for such charging network success in the long run.

• Electric vehicles are being sold worldwide in exponential numbers. 

Sales of EVs, for instance, are projected to be over 11 million units in the year 2023 as compared to 6.6 million in 2022. The more the electric vehicles marketed and sold, the more the prospects of high demand for EV chargers. It is important to note that these chargers need a maintenance check regularly to function correctly, and this makes the operations and maintenance services very essential. Furthermore, with the projected rise in sales volume for EVs within the next decade, the increasing demand for reliable and efficient charging networks is most likely to make way for all service providers. For example, it has been forecasted that by 2030, electric vehicles alone will make up more than 30% of the total number of vehicles sold worldwide, thereby indicating high requirements for maintaining a well-refurbished infrastructure of EV charging.

Market Restraints:

• Among the major dampeners to the growth of the market is the high investment in installing and maintaining EV chargers.

Installing high-speed as well as wireless chargers for electric vehicles requires significant investment in infrastructure and technology. For instance, a DC fast charger would cost anything from USD 50,000 to USD 100,000. As a matter of fact, that would be much more expensive than installing standard residential chargers. The cost is very high, causing this development to be totally unfeasible for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may find it difficult to justify the initial expenditure, not to mention the maintenance costs involved. Moreover, at times, the government incentives and public funding available are usually inadequate to meet all the expenses incurred, especially for underdeveloped regions. Regular costs for maintenance also present a barrier, as preventive measures, monitoring systems, and repair services all add up to what it takes in keeping EV chargers in good working order.

• Limited Charging Infrastructure in Rural Areas:

Progress is observable in the urban areas whereas rural areas with developing countries face a minimal presence of charging infrastructures. The unavailability of charging stations in these areas hampers the take-off of electric vehicles, and hence the operations and maintenance services. For example, countries like India and Brazil, where a vast percentage of the population lives in rural areas, infrastructure hardly is under progress. In those regions, customers are afraid of losing easy access to charging services while opting for electric vehicles. In the absence of proper infrastructure, the market for EV charger operations and maintenance services would not expand any further than the urban centers.

Market Segmentation Analysis:

By Charger Type
Market growth for Electric Vehicle Charger Operations and Maintenance Services is driven primarily by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and, subsequently, their needs for efficient charging solutions. Some type-level diversity can be observed through analysis of market segments by charger type. Level 2 chargers are still very popular for their good balance of charging speed and cost. They can hold almost 60% of the whole market share since they are applied widely at homes and commercially. Up to 25%, the reason behind their popularity holds is that Level 1 chargers can only be installed at home with slow charging. In the meantime, Level 3 chargers or DC fast chargers are fast becoming preferred by both urban and highway segments accounting for about 15% in terms of market share because this permits EVs to be charged at a much quicker speed to allow travel over long distances.

By Installation:
The market is further split into public and private chargers depending on the installation types. Public charging stations comprise a larger share, about 70 per cent due to the improved urban infrastructure supportive for higher acceptance of EVs. Private installations, mostly at private homes, account for 30 per cent of the market, but with incentives encouraging owners to set up their charging station at home. As the market for EVs grows, so will the operations and maintenance services for these charging systems. In other words, operations and maintenance will be part of what makes these systems reliable and efficient for public and private users.
