Tesla Dominates EV Charging Race Installing 6,000 Fast Chargers In 2023, ChargePoint And EVgo Struggle To Keep Up: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) has significantly outpaced competitors ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (CHPT) and EVgo Inc (EVGO) in the installation of fast chargers, adding 6,000 in 2023 while CHPT and EVGO added only 410 and 850, respectively. Tesla's unique connector design gives it a competitive edge. ChargePoint experienced a market value decline and a CEO change, with new CEO Rick Wilmer citing economic uncertainty as a reason for customers' reluctance to invest in chargers. U.S. public charging stations are behind BloombergNEF's 2023 forecast by 76%, and the U.S. is expected to trail China and Europe in charging infrastructure. CHPT and EVGO stocks are trading lower premarket, as is TSLA.
