Curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging bollards are compact street-side units designed to provide direct power to EVs, offering convenient charging in public and semi-public areas. They are space-efficient, integrate seamlessly into urban environments, and serve residents without private parking access. Their durable outdoor design ensures safe and reliable energy delivery while supporting the expansion of accessible city-wide EV charging networks.
The primary types of curbside EV charging bollards include alternating current (AC) charging bollards, direct current (DC) fast charging bollards, smart charging bollards, and others. AC charging bollards provide standard AC power for regular-speed charging in urban and residential settings. Connectivity options include networked or smart and standalone units, with power outputs categorized as up to 22 kilowatt (kW), 22-50 kW, and above 50 kW to meet different charging speed needs. Mounting types include surface-mounted and embedded installations, serving applications such as residential, commercial, municipal, public, and other environments.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.

The curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging bollards market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging bollards market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%. Growth during the historic period resulted from government incentives and subsidies for EV adoption, expansion of urban EV infrastructure projects, rising fuel prices encouraging EV use, early adoption in smart city initiatives, and collaborations between municipalities and charging providers.
The curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging bollards market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Growth in the forecast period is expected from increasing integration with renewable energy and smart grids, rising adoption of autonomous and shared EV fleets, advancements in ultra-fast charging technology, expansion of curbside charging in emerging economies, and implementation of stricter urban emission reduction policies. Key trends in the forecast period include smart charging with load balancing, wireless payment and contactless authentication, bidirectional V2G-enabled curbside bollards, compact and modular designs for urban deployment, and integration with solar-powered charging units.
The increasing adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is expected to drive the growth of the curbside electric vehicle (EV) charging bollards market. BEVs are fully electric cars powered entirely by rechargeable batteries, producing zero tailpipe emissions. The rise in BEVs is largely attributed to government and manufacturer efforts to promote cleaner energy solutions, encouraging consumers to switch from traditional fuel vehicles in order to reduce pollution and address climate change. Curbside EV charging bollards help facilitate BEV adoption by offering convenient on-street charging, easing range anxiety and improving accessibility for those without private parking. These charging solutions make it easier for EV owners to recharge while parked, contributing to broader EV adoption and supporting sustainable urban mobility. For instance, in January 2024, Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, reported that 1.2 million car buyers in the U.S. chose electric vehicles in 2023, representing 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, an increase from 5.9% in 2022. Thus, the growing adoption of BEVs is driving demand for curbside EV charging bollards.
Leading companies in the curbside EV charging bollards market are forming strategic partnerships to expand charging infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. Strategic partnerships allow organizations to combine resources, expertise, and technologies to achieve shared goals, extending market reach, fostering innovation, and strengthening competitive advantages.
