Electric Vehicle (EV) connectors are standardized interfaces designed to facilitate the charging of electric vehicles from different power sources. These connectors ensure compatibility between EVs and charging stations, enabling safe and efficient charging operations.
The main components of EV connectors include the housing, terminal, lock mechanism, and other internal parts. The housing serves as the protective casing enclosing the internal components of the connector. These connectors are available in various configurations suitable for medium voltage, low voltage, and high voltage applications, catering to both sealed and unsealed connector systems. Electric vehicles utilizing these connectors encompass plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). They are integrated into various vehicle systems such as body control and interiors, battery management systems, infotainment systems, engine management and powertrain, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and safety systems, as well as interior and exterior vehicle lighting applications.

These electric vehicle (EV) connectors market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The electric vehicle (EV) connectors market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.47 billion in 2023 to $1.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.0%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to government support and initiatives promoting sustainable transportation, heightened environmental concerns, advancements in battery technology enabling longer ranges and faster charging times, developments in autonomous driving technologies, and an increased focus on enhancing energy efficiency in transportation systems.
The electric vehicle (EV) connectors market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing adoption of safety applications in vehicles, advancements in infotainment systems and in-vehicle connectivity, substantial investments in charging infrastructure to support electric vehicles, and a rising demand for electric buses and commercial vehicles. Major trends expected during this period include the emergence of wireless charging technologies, the development of smart charging infrastructure, the establishment of universal standards for interoperability, the integration of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity enabling communication between vehicles and infrastructure, and ongoing innovations in materials to enhance vehicle performance and efficiency.
The electric vehicles (EV) connectors market is set to expand due to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles utilize electric motors for propulsion and draw power from rechargeable batteries that can be charged from external sources. This adoption is driven by heightened environmental awareness, government incentives promoting clean energy, and advancements in battery technology. EV connectors are essential components in electric vehicles, facilitating the connection between the vehicle's charging system and external charging stations to charge the battery. For instance, Cox Automotive reported a 46% surge in EV sales in the United States in 2023 compared to 2022, accompanied by a 22% increase in charging stations nationwide, highlighting the growth in EV adoption and its impact on the EV connectors market.
Leading companies in the EV connectors market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as liquid cooling to enhance the efficiency and performance of EV connectors. Liquid cooling systems help regulate the temperature of electronic components such as EV connectors by circulating a liquid coolant through channels or pipes. For example, Boyd Corporation collaborated with E-valucon in August 2023 to design a liquid-to-air cooling system for DC fast charging (DCFC) cables and connectors. This innovation uses environmentally friendly coolants to manage thermal challenges during rapid, high-power charging, ensuring safety and efficiency. Such solutions meet the demand for faster charge cycles and compact infrastructure, supporting the growth of publicly accessible EV charging networks in the U.S. through initiatives such as the NEVI Formula Program.
In January 2022, Enphase Energy Inc., a U.S.-based energy technology company, acquired ClipperCreek to expand its offerings in EV charging solutions alongside solar and battery systems. This strategic move enables Enphase to enter the rapidly expanding EV market with ClipperCreek's established brand and leading products. ClipperCreek specializes in providing EV charging solutions, including cables and connectors, enhancing Enphase's capabilities in serving distributors and installers with comprehensive EV charging solutions.
