Description

This benchmarking study offers a detailed and structured evaluation of the global charging point operator (CPO) ecosystem, capturing its evolution amid the rapid acceleration of electric mobility worldwide. It highlights strategic initiatives, competitive positioning, and long-term growth priorities shaping the next phase of the charging industry. As EV adoption increases, CPOs are moving beyond their traditional role as infrastructure providers and increasingly positioning themselves as integrated energy and technology companies. This transition is driven by a stronger focus on network reliability, seamless customer experiences, digital platforms, smart energy management, and the development of diversified revenue models, such as subscriptions, roaming, and energy services. The study benchmarks leading CPOs across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, offering a comparative analysis of their network scale, geographic reach, technology deployment, business models, and strategic partnerships. Collectively, these insights provide a forward-looking perspective on how CPOs are preparing for intensifying competition and long-term market maturation.

This study covers the following topics:
- Key factors influencing CPOs
- Technology trends that will impact the growth of CPOs
- Regulations and policies impacting CPOs
- Revenue opportunities and business models adopted by CPOs
- Global charging points in operation/charging infrastructure distribution by CPO/powerband/country

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
