EV CHARGING APP MARKET OVERVIEW

The global ev charging app market size stood at USD 16.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 23.61 billion in 2026, growing further to USD 569.31 billion by 2035 at an estimated CAGR of 40.5% from 2025 to 2035.

An EV charging app is a mobile application that allows electric vehicle (EV) drivers to find, access, and pay for EV charging stations. They can provide various features and functions such as, showing the location, availability, and status of nearby EV charging stations on a map or a list and providing information such as the type, power, price, and rating of each EV charging station.

They can help EV drivers to overcome the range anxiety and the inconvenience of finding and using EV charging stations. It can also help EV charging station operators and owners to increase their customer base and revenue. Moreover, it can help the environment and the society by promoting the adoption of clean and sustainable mobility solutions.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand owing to the Environmental Awareness

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the EV charging app market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the EV charging app market share.  Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the demand for mobility services and the usage of EV charging stations, which has adversely affected the revenue and growth prospects of the App providers. The pandemic has forced many people to stay at home or work remotely, which has reduced their need for traveling and using electric vehicles. This has resulted in a lower number of new and existing customers for the App providers, who may also face challenges in retaining their loyal customers due to reduced usage frequency and satisfaction. The pandemic has also reduced the income and spending power of many people, who may opt for cheaper or alternative modes of transportation or reduce their discretionary spending on mobility services. This has resulted in a lower revenue and profit margin for the App providers, who may also face difficulties in managing their cash flow and operational costs due to lower transaction volumes and subscriptions.

LATEST TRENDS

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Technologies is expected to Fuel the Growth in the Market

One of the recent trends in the market is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. These technologies can enhance the functionality and user experience of these apps by providing features such as smart navigation, dynamic pricing, predictive maintenance, demand response, and personalized recommendations. For example, some Of the apps use AI and ML to optimize the routing and scheduling of EV drivers to find the nearest and cheapest charging stations, based on their preferences, driving patterns, battery status, traffic conditions, and weather forecasts. Some other EV charging app use AI and ML to monitor and analyse the performance and health of EV charging stations, and to provide alerts and suggestions for preventive maintenance and repairs. Moreover, some of the apps use AI and ML to manage and balance the load and demand of EV charging stations, and to offer dynamic pricing and incentives for users to shift their charging times to off-peak periods or to participate in grid services.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the EV charging infrastructure market in the U.S. had 5.09 billion USD worth of public and private installations in 2024, driven by over 2.3 million registered electric vehicles.

• The National Renewable Energy Laboratory reports that California holds 26.7% of the total 168,000 public charging ports in the U.S., making it the state with the highest EV charging density.

Based on age, the market can be divided into BEV and PHEV.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Adoption of Electric Vehicles to Foster the Market Growth

The rising popularity of electric vehicles is driven by various factors such as environmental concerns, government policies, technological innovations, cost reductions, and consumer preferences. As more people switch to electric vehicles, the demand for convenient and accessible EV charging services will also increase, which will create a huge potential for the market. Electric vehicles can help reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of transportation, as they do not emit any tailpipe emissions or pollutants that contribute to global warming and smog. Electric vehicles can also help save money on fuel and maintenance costs, as they have higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs than conventional vehicles. Moreover, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and require less frequent servicing and repairs than conventional vehicles.

Growing Competition and Innovation in the Expansion of the Market

The market is becoming more competitive and innovative as new entrants and existing players are launching new products and services to attract and retain customers. They providers are expanding their network coverage by partnering with various stakeholders such as EV manufacturers, charging station operators, utilities, governments, etc., to increase the availability and accessibility of EV charging stations for their users. For example, Charge Point, one of the leading EV charging app providers in North America and Europe, has a network of over 132,000 public and private charging spots across 14 countries. The App providers are offering interoperability and compatibility with different types of chargers and vehicles, to enable their users to access various charging options and avoid issues such as incompatible plugs or sockets, varying voltage or current levels, etc. For example, PlugShare, one of the most popular App providers in the world, has a database of over 300,000 charging stations across 100 countries that support various standards such as CHAdeMO, CCS, Tesla Supercharger, etc.

• As per the U.S. Department of Energy, federal and state incentives have supported over 1.1 million tax credits issued for EV purchases between 2022–2024, boosting EV adoption and demand for charging apps.

• The U.S. DOE reports that over 90% of new commercial buildings in 2024 incorporated EV-ready infrastructure, emphasizing the trend toward integrating EV charging facilities in urban planning.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Lack of Standardization and Regulation in the EV Charging Industry to Hamper The Market Growth

The EV charging industry is still in its nascent stage and faces many challenges such as lack of uniform standards, protocols, regulations, policies, etc., across different regions, countries, states, cities, etc. This can create confusion and inconvenience for both EV drivers and EV charging app providers. For example, some EV drivers may face issues such as incompatible plugs or sockets, varying voltage or current levels, different payment methods or currencies, etc., when they use different types of chargers or stations in different locations.

• High upfront cost remains a barrier, with average installation costs of Level 2 chargers at USD 6,500 per unit, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, limiting smaller businesses from adopting EV charging solutions.

• Complex regulatory compliance and site approval processes affect deployment; over 1,200 local permitting authorities in the U.S. oversee EV charging projects, creating delays in expansion.
