Automotive On-Board Charger Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars., Commercial Vehicles.), By Propulsion Type (BEV., PHEV), By Power Rating (Less than 10KW., 10KW-20KW., More than 20KW.) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The automotive on-board charger performs the final step in the charging of the traction battery pack. It takes the DC or AC source for power from the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and converts it into the required battery charging specification. Electric vehicles require fast charging from an external source of electrical energy, which helps to improve the overall range of the cars. Several technological improvements, such as the development of fast charging, are expected to boost the market growth.

The rise in carbon emissions concerns, increase in prices of fossil fuels and the greater number of initiatives by the various governments on the adoption of electric vehicles are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Also, the introduction of vehicles equipped with fast charging technology so as to resolve slow charging speed issues is expected to boost the growth of the market. However, the lack of standardization and the current time-consuming process of electric vehicle charging are some of the major factors hampering the growth of the market.
