Europe BEV OnBoard Charger Market

Europe BEV On-Board Charger Market Size

The Europe BEV on-board charger market was USD 5.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 33.1 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 20.3% from 2025 to 2034. The market is experiencing significant growth driven by the focus on the regulations associated with the government bodies, moreover other factors such as infrastructure development, technology, and changing consumer behavior are positively impacting on growth.

The expansion of the BEV market depends critically on ongoing innovation in charging technology. The efficiency and convenience of BEVs are being improved by innovations like wireless charging, ultra-fast charging, and smart charging systems. For instance, in 2023, the European Union allotted around USD 3 billion for R&D in electric vehicles, which will aid the installation of AC chargers in cars like the Mercedes EQE, Renault Megane E-Tech etc.

The European Union has set strict emission limits to mitigate climate change and lower air pollution. For instance, regulation (EU) 2019/631 captured cars and vans at a 15% reduction in CO₂ emission as of 2025 while maintaining a target for all new vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035. This has driven automobile manufacturers to hasten the development of BEVs, which require high power electric chargers due to the presence of sophisticated on-board chargers.

Vehicle electrification (BEVs) is intricately connected to the growth of the charging infrastructure, and many countries are focusing in the same for development. As a reference, in December 2024, in the UK, there is an allocated funding of over USD 933 million towards the EV charging schemes reflecting the purpose-built EV Infrastructure. Likewise, the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) requires that each station within the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) core network shall be equipped with at least one high power charger by 2025 and a charging park by 2030. These programs reduce impending barriers for BEV owners by providing easy and effective charging facilities.

Europe BEV On-Board Charger Market Trends

The sustainability mandates are now the drivers for the changes in material sourcing and life cycle optimization of BEV on-board chargers. The Battery Regulation of EU renders rigorous stipulations on chains of supply for information flow, proportional parts of reused content, and reclamation processes in dismantled components. The industry is making greater efforts to enhance the eco-friendliness of their processes by using aluminum wiring instead of copper and incorporating recycled materials in the manufacturing processes.

Smart charging technologies are gaining traction in Europe due to consumer convenience and requirements set out by law. One of the strategies in the UK is that all government-funded home charge points must use smart technologies. These technologies allow remote management and interaction with the grid. This contributes to effective charging schedule management and off-peak charging which helps stabilize the grid.

Referred to as inductive charging, wireless charging is developing as an ease-filled replacement for traditional methods that require plugging in. By eliminating physical connectors, this technology improves the user’s experience and minimizes component damage. The European Union, with ongoing projects aimed at standardizing inductive charging throughout its member states, is actively funding the construction of induction charging infrastructures. These projects seek further simplification and efficient accessibility which could significantly increase the adoption of BEVs.

Various countries in Europe are looking into Electric Road Systems (ERS) that can charge vehicles while they are moving. As a reference, Sweden is spearheading efforts to finish building a permanent electric road along the E20 highway by 2026, with additional plans to increase the total length of electric roads to 3,000 kilometers by 2045. Similarly, France is prepared to spend between USD 2,911 and USD 3,882 billion to construct an ERS network that spans 8,800 kilometers by 2035. These projects aim to improve the viability and efficiency of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and electric transportation systems by decreasing the frequency of charging stops.

• The market was USD 3.7 billion, USD 4.3 billion and USD 5.1 billion in 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively. On the basis of rating, the market is divided into < 11 kW, > 11 kW to 22 kW, > 22 kW. In particular, < 11 kW is one of the dominating segments driven by the focus towards small rating chargers across the commercial and residential areas.
  
• Especially in the compact and low-cost car segments, where energy economy and cost matter more than high-speed charging. <11 kW chargers are even widely used, especially in compact and low-cost car segments where energy economy and cost matter more than high-speed charging. For instance, in March 2025, Enphase Energy, announced that European markets would get production of the fresh IQ EV Charger 2, that can be used as a strong stand-alone charger or seamlessly integrate with Enphase solar and battery systems.
  
• The range of 11 kW to 22 kW are being progressively used in mid-range and premium electric cars owing to optimal balance between sustainability and shorter charging times. These chargers enable much quicker charging without the need for a switch to DC fast-charging infrastructure. The growing demand for the mid-range chargers across Europe is influencing the BEV on board chargers in recent years.
  
• Over 22 kW are becoming more and more important in performance-focused BEVs and light commercial electric vehicles (eLCVs), where users want ultra-fast AC charging capabilities without completely depending on external DC fast-charging facilities. The requirement for high-power AC charging for fleet and luxury use cases, such as delivery trucks, taxis, and luxury vehicles, is one of the prominent advancements in this industry.

• The current-based market is divided into AC and DC, where DC segment held a market share of over 49% in 2024. This is because of the growing significance of fast chargers in recent years, which has been fueled by the expanding use of electric vehicles, the need for quicker and more effective charging, and robust legislative backing for the development of advanced charging infrastructure throughout Europe.
  
• The most popular method for charging EVs on a daily basis is still AC charging. The primary drivers of AC chargers' widespread use are their cost and usability, particularly in urban areas where automobiles are left parked for extended periods of time. For example, the European Commission's Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) mandates the installation of public fast chargers every 60 km along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) to ensure 1.3 kW of publicly accessible chargers per registered BEV by 2030.
  
• There is a significant move towards higher power AC onboard chargers, specifically in the range of 22 kW to 43 kW. It is driven by customer demand for quicker charging times and underpinned by government initiatives to encourage electric vehicle uptake. Battery technology improvements allowed higher power levels of charging, further compelling manufacturers to spend on AC BEV onboard chargers that charge quicker.
  
• Due to the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), technological developments, and pro-EV government policies, the need for DC onboard chargers in the European battery electric vehicle (BEV) industry is rising significantly owing to the strict government regulations. As a reference, for comparison, starting in 2030, vans will be held to a 50% reduction objective, while cars will strive for a 55% reduction target. This ambitious framework demonstrates the European Union's commitment to combating climate change and accelerating the transition to more environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
