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.
Tariffs are impacting the curbside EV charging bollard market by increasing costs of imported power electronics, enclosures, connectors, smart controllers, and communication modules used in ac and dc charging systems. Municipal and commercial deployments in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported charging hardware, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented manufacturing. These tariffs are increasing project installation costs and slowing rollout timelines. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional assembly of charging units, and innovation in cost-optimized and modular bollard designs.

This curbside electric vehicle (ev) charging bollard market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The curbside electric vehicle (ev) charging bollard market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2025 to $1.76 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of early-stage public ev charging networks, rising urban ev ownership without private parking, municipal investments in street-level charging, pilot deployments of ac curbside chargers, growing standardization of ev charging connectors.
The curbside electric vehicle (ev) charging bollard market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing ev adoption in dense urban areas, expansion of smart city charging programs, rising demand for dc fast curbside chargers, growing integration with renewable energy sources, increasing regulatory support for public ev infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of curbside public charging infrastructure, rising adoption of smart and networked charging bollards, growing integration of load management and v2g capabilities, expansion of compact and urban-friendly charging designs, enhanced focus on payment-enabled and user-friendly chargers.
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. For example, in May 2025, Voltpost, a US-based startup specializing in converting existing lampposts into EV chargers, partnered with ComEd, a US-based electric utility, to introduce its first public lamppost EV charger in Oak Park, Illinois. The initiative retrofits lampposts with modular Level 2 charging platforms, providing quick and affordable curbside charging for the community without the need for new construction. This partnership aims to increase EV charging access, especially for residents without private parking, while promoting sustainable transportation with a scalable and equitable solution.
In July 2023, West Berkshire Council, a UK-based local authority, partnered with Ubitricity to expand affordable and accessible curbside EV charging. This collaboration seeks to reduce range anxiety, promote sustainable transport, and support local education and skills development. Ubitricity, a UK-based provider of curbside EV charging solutions, offers charging through lampposts and bollard charge points, further advancing the growth of the market by providing convenient solutions to communities.
