Introduction: In the context of global advocacy of green travel and sustainable development, new energy vehicles the industry has ushered in explosive growth.
The blowout growth of new energy vehicle sales has made the importance of electric car charging piles more and more prominent. EV charging piles are like the “energy supply stations” of new energy vehicles, and their layout density and service quality are directly related to the user experience of new energy vehicles. Imagine that when you drive a new energy vehicle for a long trip, but you can’t find a charging station on the way, or the waiting time for charging is too long, the anxiety is self-evident. Therefore, a complete charging pile network is the key support for the sustainable development of the new energy vehicle industry, which can not only eliminate the “range anxiety” of users, but also further stimulate the market consumption potential.
In the internal structure of the ev charging station, the charging module is at the core. As the “heart” of the charging pile, the ev charging module undertakes key tasks such as AC/DC conversion, voltage and current regulation, and its performance directly determines the charging speed, efficiency and stability of the charging pile. For example, the charging module is like a gas gun in a gas station, a high-quality gas gun can quickly and stably refuel the car, while a poor performance gas gun may have problems such as slow oil output and unstable refueling. Similarly, high-performance charging modules can achieve fast charging, allowing users to charge the vehicle in a short time, while low-quality charging modules can lead to long charging times and frequent failures during the charging process, which can seriously affect the user experience.
The core component of the charging pile
The charging module, as the core component of the charging pile, undertakes the key task of converting alternating current into direct current and accurately regulating the voltage and current, just like the heart of the human body, providing a steady stream of power support for the entire charging system. In the cost composition of DC fast charging station, charging modules account for about 50% of the proportion, which is a well-deserved cost share. Taking the common DC charging pile with a power of about 120KW as an example, the charging module, distribution filter equipment, monitoring and billing equipment, battery maintenance equipment, etc. constitute the charging pile, and the cost of each part accounts for 50%, 15%, 10%, and 10% respectively. This high proportion not only highlights its important position in the hardware cost, but also shows that its performance has a far-reaching impact on the overall cost and market competitiveness of ev charger.
The performance of the charging module is directly related to the charging efficiency. The charging module with high conversion efficiency can reduce the loss of energy during the conversion process, so that more electrical energy can be used to charge the vehicle, thus significantly reducing the charging time. In this fast-paced era, time is money, and fast electric car charging can greatly improve the user experience, increase the utilization turnover rate of ev car charger, and bring more benefits to operators. Conversely, inefficient charging modules can prolong charging time, reduce device utilization, and may lead to user churn. In addition, the stability and safety of the charging module are also crucial. The unstable module may output abnormal voltage and current, which will not only damage the vehicle battery and shorten the battery life, but also may cause safety accidents, such as fire, leakage, etc., which will bring serious threats to the safety of users’ lives and property.
Analysis of the current state of the market
From the perspective of market concentration, the market concentration of charging modules has gradually increased in recent years. There were many market participants in the early stage, but with the development of technology and the maturity of the market, the competition became more and more fierce, and some enterprises with weak technical strength and poor product quality were gradually eliminated. By virtue of its advantages in technology research and development, product quality, cost control and brand influence, the leading enterprises continue to expand their market share, and the Matthew effect of the strong is becoming more and more obvious. However, the market competition is still fierce, and new entrants are constantly looking for opportunities to emerge in this market through technological innovation and differentiated competition, which also prompts the entire industry to continue to move forward to provide consumers with better and more efficient charging module products.
