Solar-Integrated EVs and Charging Stations Overview

Global Market Analysis and Forecasts for Solar-Integrated Transportation Technologies: 2022-2031

With increasing sales of EVs, consumers have been able to help protect the environment by reducing their carbon footprint. However, much of the electricity they use to power their vehicles is still based on fossil fuels. Solar-integrated EVs (SEVs) and charging solutions resolve this problem by enabling drivers to run vehicles on sunshine. They provide a variety of other benefits, including addressing range anxiety, controlling ambient temperature, and supporting the gadget factor. While SEVs do not meet all drivers’ needs, a significant portion of them can sensibly take advantage of this new technology.

Solar-integrated charging units offer their own benefit by helping build out the EV charging infrastructure quickly and efficiently. Because they do not require grid connection, these solutions offer an alternative that can be deployed without the need for long and often disruptive permitting, construction, and wiring processes. With accompanying batteries, these units provide the added benefit of serving as conveniently located energy sources in case of emergencies.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for these emerging transportation technologies, specifically EVs with solar as a supplemental source, EVs with solar as a primary source, and solar-integrated charging stations. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, including use cases, opportunities, and implementation challenges, associated with solar-integrated transportation technologies. Global market forecasts for capacity and revenue, by technology segment and region, extend through 2031. The report also examines the technologies related to these solutions and lists key players in the market.
