22、 to speed with the growth of electric vehicles Favorable headwinds but complexity is a drag9We can see continued exponential growth of cellular IoT connections,with more and more industries leveraging IoT for their businesses.Cellular IoT connections are expected to grow from 1.9 billion in 2022 to
23、5.5 billion in 2027,a 19%compounded annual growth rate(CAGR)2.And IoT can be applied to many industries.For example,several Ericsson reports have looked at connecting devices in manufacturing,automotive,road transport,urban mobility,smart buildings,and even professional coffee machines.Although the
24、industries might differ,they share similar IoT benefits.These include driving revenue,enabling new business models,lowering costs related to asset management and operations,and reducing an environmental impact.Managing an intricate ecosystemCellular IoT can help EV charging companies manage the comp

28、the charging station network,EV charging companies can benefit greatly from cellular IoT connectivity.Because the charging station is connected,data is easily sent to a central platform where staff can respond to disruptions or problems without physically visiting the charging station.Our use case s

30、uantify the value of cellular IoT connectivity for EV charging stations,the study examined a hypothetical,mid-sized EV charging company in Europe,with 9m EUR in revenue,60 employees,and 6,000 connected charging stations.The company has both the role of a Charging Point Operator and Mobility Service
31、Provider for the charging stations.The results showed significant gains and savings.The example charging company could expect to generate a value of 4.9 m EUR per year due to implementing connected EV charging stations.Ericsson|Connected EV ChargingThis value is driven by two factors an increased re
32、venue from interoperability and decreased costs from remote monitoring.Gains with interoperable servicesThe 40%increase in annual revenue share is due to interoperable services.For example,because of connected backend systems,user profiles,payment methods,and authorization make it easier for drivers
33、 to charge their car at different stations from different service providers without registering as a new user.This gives the driver the convenience and more options to select charging stations that suit their needs.With interoperable services,the network of potential charging stations increases,and
34、the example company generates revenue from charging carried out by its customers at other charging stations.And vice versa,customers of other charging companies use services at the example companys charging station.Without IoT-enabled interoperability,the example company would only have been limited
35、 to charging revenues from its own stations,and miss out on the additional revenue potential.13Ericsson|Connected EV ChargingSavings with remote monitoringAnother study result indicated a 15%decrease in operational costs in annual monitoring because of remote monitoring,measured as a share of total
36、revenues.With the example scenario based on various costs for site visits,we estimate that most visits are no longer necessary because of IoT-enabled remote monitoring.With 6,000 connected charging stations to operate,this is expected to yield roughly 1.3 m EUR to total savings.Having connectivity t
37、o every charging station creates the opportunity to gather data about how customers use the station,the availability and the condition of charging sockets.Some of the main benefits of remote monitoring are improved visibility on how the stations are used,reduced costs of manual tasks and overall,mor
38、e operational control.Remote monitoring improves maintenance and uptime by avoiding potential technical issues,even before customers have a chance to notice.This can also help the charging companies plan when and where to scale their charging network.In addition,because there is no need for a physic
39、al inspection,the company saves on transportation costs,reducing its carbon footprint.Data gathered from remote monitoring can be used to provide real-time visibility of all stations to drivers directly,helping them map out their journey and plan their charging stops appropriately.As a result,custom
40、ers experience a seamless and smooth charging session that can generate more sales and reduce churn.14When considering different technologies to connect charging stations,cellular IoT provides some major advantages.For instance,cellular IoT has built-in security protocols and encryption to protect d
41、ata privacy and sensitive information such as user profiles or payment details.For charging stations in remote areas,cellular IoT provides reliable coverage no matter where the location.By expanding connectivity coverage,drivers can rest assured they can connect to the charging station in rural envi
42、ronments.And the cellular network also supports thousands of users and connections.In addition,since the charging stations are connected to the cloud,transmitting large amounts of data is not an issue with a cellular network.The benefits of cellular IoTEricsson|Connected EV Charging15Our study also
43、looked at other stakeholders interacting with charging stations,including asset owners such as parking operators.As an example parking operator,we assumed a European mid-sized company with annual revenue of 300 m EUR and 600 connected charging stations,with a role as a virtual CPO and MSP3.With conn
44、ected charging stations,the parking operator can expect an overall 1.3%revenue increase per year because of interoperable services and increased market share from better customer satisfaction and less churn.Interoperable services are a crucial factor driving new customers to charge at their stations
