Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure Overview

The establishment of a sufficient and effective charging infrastructure is a requirement for integrating the ecosystem of electric buses into the public transportation infrastructure. Two essential parts of the charging infrastructure are charging solutions and power infrastructure. Electric buses fully rely on commercial charging infrastructure, unlike other vehicle categories like cars and two-wheelers that may have "home" charging infrastructure that means charging points installed at domestic premises.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses in various businesses. This has ultimately lowered the demand for electric bus charging infrastructure due to disruptions in supply chain, closure of manufacturing plants, as well as economic slowdown across several countries. In addition, the import-export restrictions were laid down on major electric bus charging infrastructure producing countries such as the U.S. and Europe.

For instance, U.S. electric bus manufacturers witnessed the most severe impact of COVID-19 in 2020. Moreover, the electric bus faced the highest impact in terms of sales and acquisition of new projects due to which the electric bus charging infrastructure demand reduced significantly. Several electric bus projects were postponed or cancelled due to shortage of raw materials, labors, fear of contracting the COVID-19 virus among workers, as well as travel restrictions.

However, disruptions in the exports of automotive parts from China as well as closure of automotive assembly and manufacturing units have hampered the electric bus charging infrastructure market share during the pandemic. For instance, in September 2020, NFI Group Inc. is one of the world's top independent global bus manufacturers, has provided two pilot buses to Metro Transit as part of a contract given to New Flyer for 14 Xcelsior CHARGE battery-electric, sixty-foot heavy-duty transit buses. To support the deployment, Bi-State Development, the operator of Metro Transit, granted New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions TM an $8.72 million contract for the development of battery-electric bus charging infrastructure. These initiatives are predicted to drive the electric bus charging infrastructure market size during the analysis timeframe.

Advancement of E-Mobility Services and Increase in the Number of Electric Buses Likely to Drive the Market Growth

E-mobility is now regarded as the most promising technology for lowering transportation exhaust emissions. Electric buses are rapidly replacing traditional diesel-powered buses. Various governments throughout the world are taking initiatives to replace their petroleum-based bus fleets with electric bus. To increase the usage of electric vehicles, some countries provide incentives and impose limitations. Several key drivers have fuelled the worldwide electric bus charging infrastructure industry, most notably rising government funding schemes and greater government objectives for mainstream bus electrification. Furthermore, governments are implementing various programmes to encourage the usage of green energy-powered electric buses. In Shenzhen, the public transportation system was able to reduce its use of fossil fuels by 95%. The CO2 emissions from Shenzhen's e-buses were reduced by 15-20% even after accounting for emissions from the National Grid of China.

High Investment Involved With the Deployment of Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure Systems to Restrain the Growth of the Global Industry

High initial investments necessary for fast-charging infrastructure, as well as the requirement for more advanced batteries are some of the constraints that may limit market revenue growth to some extent. Charging time for electric bus is longer than charging time for fossil fuel bus, particularly for Level 1 and 2 charging, there is no uniformity in charging compatibility. This electric buses are more expensive than fossil fuel-powered buses. These are all major factors that could impede revenue growth in the electric bus charging infrastructure market.

Regulatory Measures and Government Push to Create Sustainable Public Transport Infrastructure across the World to Foster the Growth of Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure

In recent times, electric bus have a number of potential benefits over standard diesel buses along with these environmental advantages, e-buses can also minimize running costs, increase passenger comfort (by lowering vibration), reduce noise pollution, help stabilize the grid through vehicle-to-grid applications, and improve energy efficiency through lower fuel and maintenance costs. Global urban transitions municipal bus fleet electrification offers a chance to lower greenhouse gases in the transportation sector while also providing benefits to the towns and nations to switch towards electric bus. To overcome the challenges to electric bus acceptance, innovative approaches and bus implementation will be required.
