新能源汽车渗透率持续攀升，推动充电桩行业快速发展

Investment Rating - The report indicates a positive investment outlook for the charging pile industry, driven by the increasing penetration rate of new energy vehicles [1]. Core Insights - The charging pile industry is experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities as it serves as a crucial infrastructure connecting the power grid and electric vehicles, facilitating smart grid implementation, renewable energy utilization, and urban transportation electrification [2]. - The current trend in charging technology is shifting towards high-power fast charging solutions, with power levels evolving from 60kW to 120kW, 240kW, 360kW, and 480kW, which is expected to enhance the value and profit margins of both whole piles and modules [2]. Market Situation - As of 2023, the total number of charging piles in China reached 8.596 million, with 2.726 million being public charging piles and 5.871 million private ones, indicating a rapid growth in electric vehicle charging demand [4][6]. - The current vehicle-to-pile ratio in China is 2.37:1, which shows a significant gap compared to the government’s target of achieving a 2:1 ratio by 2025 and a 1:1 ratio by 2030, suggesting substantial growth potential in the charging pile market [9]. Regional Distribution - Public charging piles are predominantly located in economically developed eastern regions, with a higher concentration in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei areas, while the northeastern, northwestern, and southwestern regions have fewer installations [11]. Cost Structure - The cost of a charging pile consists of five main components: shell, charging gun, main control board, charging module, and other supporting components. In 2022, charging modules accounted for 41% of the cost of direct current charging piles, followed by chargers (21%), shells (14%), main control boards (7%), contactors (2%), relays (2%), and meters (1%) [14][16].
