Comparing types at a glace:
Mode 2 AC Chargers
Mode 2 AC Chargers connecting the EV to standard household outlets, historically held a significant share in early EV adoption phases. However, their market share is decreasing as the demand shifts toward faster and more secure charging solutions. According to BloombergNEF (BNEF), Mode 2 accounts for roughly 20–25% of Europe’s infrastructure, mainly for low-power, occasional charging.
Mode 3 AC Charging (Wallboxes and stationary chargers)
Mode 3 AC Chargers dominate the European market, representing roughly 50-60% of the installed infrastructure. These chargers support higher power levels (up to 22 kW or more) and are essential for fast and reliable charging in residential and public settings. The growth is driven by increasing EV adoption and government incentives promoting public and semi-public charging infrastructure.
Mode 4 DC Charging (fast and ultra-fast stations)
Mode 4 DC Chargers are rapidly expanding, especially along highways and urban hubs. They account for about 15-25% of the market but are the fastest-growing segment, with a CAGR of around 30-40%. Major players are investing heavily in DC fast charging networks, reflecting the trend toward ultra-fast charging capabilities (50 kW to 350 kW and beyond).
