In the rapidly evolving charging service market, a surprising development has emerged. Traditional energy providers like Aral and E.ON have seen unexpected growth, according to Axel Sprenger, CEO of UScale. This growth, however, does not significantly impact the ranking of preferred providers, as charging at retail remains popular among consumers.
Municipal utilities, on the other hand, are losing ground in this competitive market. Despite this, the long-term decline of roaming providers seems to have stopped, with growth being reported for the first time. This suggests a potential shift in market dynamics.
The competition for charging customers is heating up, and it's crucial for companies to differentiate themselves. Simply installing charging stations where there's space is no longer enough in this competitive market. Reliability has emerged as the most important criterion for customers, indicating that technology still often fails in daily use.
Large energy providers are also losing market share to oil companies. This growth comes mainly at the expense of pure Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and dedicated charging brands. Notably, the three most notable CPOs that have experienced significant market share losses in recent years are ChargePoint, EVgo, and Blink Charging. These losses are primarily due to increased competition, slow network expansion compared to rivals, and challenges in customer service and interoperability.
The growth of oil companies in the charging service market is particularly significant. In the last year, their market share has increased significantly, primarily at the expense of pure CPOs like Tesla Supercharger network and dedicated charging brands. This shift in market dynamics could reshape the future of the charging service industry.
As the market evolves, it's clear that companies must focus on reliability, customer service, and network expansion to stay competitive. The days of relying solely on location for success are numbered in this rapidly changing landscape.
