Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

Depot charging revenue was built upward from the number of installed charging ports by power band, average hardware and installation price per port, and the share of ports attached to service or maintenance contracts. Port counts were derived from utility interconnection filings, depot electrification announcements and transit agency procurement records, then priced using published equipment list prices and typical installation cost ranges reported by depot developers. That build was checked against the disclosed charging-hardware and infrastructure revenue of named manufacturers and depot operators. Where the two disagreed, the correction was made to the underlying port-count or price-per-port assumption, not by averaging the bottom-up figure against a separate top-down estimate.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target fleet electrification and facilities managers at logistics, transit and delivery operators who specify and approve depot charging equipment, procurement officers at transit agencies running competitive tenders, product and commercial leads at charging hardware manufacturers, utility interconnection engineers who process depot service upgrade requests, and operators running charging-as-a-service contracts for fleets that do not own their own equipment. Sampling weights toward the United States, Germany and the Netherlands, where depot electrification programs are furthest along and disclosure is richest, with additional coverage in China given the scale of its municipal bus electrification programs.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center infrastructure counts, national utility interconnection queue data for depot service upgrades, and transit agency procurement and RFP records that disclose port counts and contract values. European coverage uses reporting filed under the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. Customs data under the harmonized system code covering EV charging equipment traces cross-border equipment shipments, and manufacturer annual report filings supply disclosed charging-infrastructure segment revenue where it is broken out separately from other business lines.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from disclosed commercial EV order backlogs and delivery schedules, the phase-in timelines of fleet electrification mandates such as California's Advanced Clean Fleets rule and the EU's CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles, and the pace at which utilities are clearing depot interconnection queues, which has become the binding constraint on how fast charging capacity can actually be installed. Hardware and installation cost curves are carried forward from current supplier pricing trends. Where a jurisdiction's incentive program has a stated expiry date, near-term demand is checked for a pull-forward effect and smoothed before being carried into the following year.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs were back-tested against recorded year-on-year growth in installed depot charging ports and disclosed hardware revenue for 2021 through 2024, checking that the model's historical years reproduce the reported trend before being extended forward. Segment share shifts, including the move toward higher-power charging for heavy-duty trucking, were reviewed against interview input from fleet electrification managers and equipment suppliers. Sensitivities were tested on the two assumptions the forecast depends on most: the pace of utility interconnection approvals and the rate at which battery and power-electronics costs decline, with the resulting range informing the bull and bear scenarios.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is highest for public transit bus depot charging, where procurement records and utility filings are disclosed and countable. It is lower for private logistics and last-mile fleet depots, where deployment counts are often unannounced and charging-as-a-service contract values are rarely disclosed. Coverage outside North America, Europe and China relies more heavily on adjacent-market analogues than on direct disclosure. The main structural risk to this estimate is the pace of utility interconnection approval, since a slower queue than assumed would push installed capacity, and revenue, into later years than forecast.
