[XIE SHANGGUO/FOR CHINA DAILY] Global interest in homegrown charging piles for new energy vehicles has ballooned as China cements its leading position in the global NEV market with exports set to almost double this year, experts and industry executives said.
By 2025, the overall charging pile market in Europe and the US will reach a combined total of about 73.12 billion yuan ($10.1 billion), with more than three-quarters of the market share coming from private charging piles, according to an estimate by Guosen Securities.
Compared with charging piles for commercial use, those for residential use have relatively lower requirements for fast charging, said Li Chenghai, sales director of Wenzhou-based Huajia Electrical Equipment Co Ltd in Zhejiang.

The company's charging pile for household use, equal to the size of an electronic scale, can recharge a car in four to seven hours, Li said, adding that installation of charging piles in homes overseas will become inevitable due to its greater convenience and lower costs.
