The global electric vehicle (EV) charging <\/b><\/span>station market is exploding, and it’s <\/b><\/span>expected to reach 12.1 billion US dollars <\/b>by 2030, with an 8.8 percent compound <\/b><\/span>annual growth rate. <\/b><\/p>\n

With rising sales of EVs and the growing demand for zero-emission transport, the EV Charging station market will continue to proliferate. With this growth comes the expectation that you can reliably power up anywhere, from a home EV Charging station to quick charging while shopping or even on a road trip. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, developments in technologies like portable charging, bidirectional charging, smart charging with load management, use-based analytics, and automated payment will create further growth in the EV Charging station market. There are three levels of chargers: Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet. Level 2 chargers are faster, employing a 240-volt outlet. Level 3 chargers offer the quickest charge, converting AC to DC to optimise speed. Most of the EV chargers found in public charging stations are level 3 chargers.<\/p>\n

These ultrafast level 3 stations need to convert AC to DC as quickly as possible. That means significantly higher-capacity EV Charging stations with more complex storage and memory, plus the processing requirement to optimise power flow accurately.<\/p>\n

In these EV charger station control units, more intelligence means more compute. To ensure EV chargers are reliable, control units require automotive-grade or industrial-grade high-capacity e.MMC as well as low-power, high-performance DRAM for data storage and processing – everything from the power controller and payment capabilities to use analysis and even kiosk advertising. The newest designs of these control units contain a Micro Processing Unit (MPU) and can leverage DRAM and managed NAND technologies like Micron DDR4\/LPDDR4 and e.MMC.<\/p>\n

The industrial segment adds an additional level of critical requirements. At Micron, we call this the Industrial Quotient or IQ.<\/p>\n

This level includes a number of considerations:<\/strong><\/p>\n
