Top 10: EV Charging Companies

EV charging infrastructure has seen rapid growth over the last decade, in line with more people purchasing EVs. 

McKinsey predicts that worldwide demand for EVs will grow sixfold from 2021 through 2030, with annual unit sales going from around six million to roughly 40 million over that period.

However, that growth is dependent on EV chargers being deployed in various global locations by the world's top providers of technology.

McKinsey estimates that the US alone will need roughly 28 million ports by 2030 to meet the demand for electricity by zero-emission passenger vehicles.
