The value of the international market for electric vehicle charging stations was assessed at USD 35.50 billion in 2021, it is anticipated to surpass USD 417.35 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 31.5 percent during 2022-30. Electric vehicles have become more popular as a result of the rise in carbon emissions and other dangerous contaminants from transportation. The need for electric vehicle infrastructure investment in both commercial and residential contexts is consequently rising. Market expansion is also anticipated to be aided by improved cooperation among automakers on charging infrastructure and a subscription-based business model. In order to increase the usage of electric vehicles, measures are needed to upgrade the facilities for charging in commercial zones, as overnight recharging at apartment buildings or private homes is insufficient for long distance driving. A new and energetic, truly 21st century organization, Pi EV Solutions was created in June 2022 to meet the needs and requirements of the next 100 years. The company has a significant commitment to sustainability and the environment which guides its daily functions as well as its long-term strategies.
