One of the needs of the future is charging stations for these new electric vehicles that are overtaking the automobile market. While the fact remains that the growth in the use of these vehicles is a given, the stations where they would be charged is something that needs further looking into.

As far as the needs of electric cars, charging stations are bound to be the next demand in the motoring industry. This has already started, but is way off from covering the needs of the projected number of electric cars expected to be out in the market.

As far as the Pike Research is concerned, there will be over 5 million charging stations up, obviously foreseeing the major influx of electric cars running around in the streets by then.

“While electric vehicles will be primarily charged at home, a strong funding push by governments will mean that more than half of all charge points will be public charging stations by 2015,” says industry analyst John Gartner. “Retailers will also install public access stations primarily as a marketing tool, and many companies will also offer workplace charging stations for their employees.”
