A smart light pole electric vehicle (EV) charger is a streetlight integrated with an electric vehicle charging unit, enabling urban areas to offer convenient charging solutions without the need for separate dedicated charging stations. These chargers incorporate advanced smart technologies that allow real time monitoring, efficient energy management, and seamless connectivity with mobile applications or smart city infrastructure to enhance user experience.
The key charger types of smart light pole electric vehicle (EV) chargers include alternating current (AC) chargers and direct current (DC) chargers. An alternating current (AC) charger is a device that supplies electric power to an electric vehicle using alternating current, which continuously changes direction. These chargers feature various connectivity options such as standalone and networked, and power outputs including up to 22 kilowatts, 22 kilowatts to 50 kilowatts, and above 50 kilowatts. They are used in applications such as public parking, street parking, commercial complexes, residential areas, and others, serving end users including municipalities, utilities, commercial sectors, residential users, and others.
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 transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.

The smart light pole electric vehicle (EV) charger market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.42 billion in 2024 to $0.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing global adoption of electric vehicles, government incentives and subsidies encouraging EV purchases, growing urbanization and development of smart city projects, rising demand for public charging infrastructure, and the expanding adoption of renewable energy sources.
The smart light pole electric vehicle (EV) charger market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing use of smart lighting and Internet of Things enabled devices, rising consumer demand for convenient charging options, enhanced grid management capabilities, growing investments from private companies, and increasing consumer awareness and environmental consciousness. Key trends in the forecast period include technological innovations in charging hardware, development of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence enabled smart solutions, collaborations between energy providers and automakers, integration with renewable energy sources, and incorporation of 5G network connectivity.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the smart light pole electric vehicle charger market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are powered entirely or partially by electricity stored in batteries instead of relying on conventional fossil fuels. The adoption of electric vehicles is increasing as governments across the world introduce incentives and subsidies to promote cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions. Smart light pole electric vehicle chargers support this transition by providing accessible and convenient public charging infrastructure, helping reduce range anxiety among drivers. For instance, in September 2025, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based trade association, battery-electric cars accounted for 15.8 percent of the European Union market share as of August 2025, up from 12.6 percent during the same period in 2024. Therefore, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the smart light pole electric vehicle charger market.
Key companies operating in the smart light pole electric vehicle charger market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as modular and upgradable AC Level 2 charging systems to reduce long-term costs by minimizing the need for frequent hardware upgrades. Upgradable AC Level 2 chargers deliver faster alternating current charging and can be enhanced with additional features or higher performance capabilities over time. For instance, in April 2024, Voltpost, a United States-based provider of electric vehicle charging solutions, introduced its Integrated Lamppost EV Charging Solution, which converts existing lampposts into modular and upgradable AC Level 2 charging points. Once installed, the system becomes operational and can be accessed through the company's mobile application, which enables users to locate chargers, reserve charging slots, track usage, make payments, and access other essential information. The Voltpost system features a built-in retractable cable management mechanism for convenience and includes a 20-foot cable to ensure compatibility with various vehicle charging port locations.
In October 2023, Wallbox, a Spain-based provider of electric vehicle charging and energy management technologies, acquired ABL GmbH for approximately 15 million dollars. This acquisition aims to expand Wallbox's footprint in the European electric vehicle charging market, enhance its product range with German-compliant chargers, and strengthen its operational and manufacturing capabilities. ABL GmbH is a Germany-based provider of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, offering smart charging solutions such as charging poles and stations for public and commercial applications.
