Electric vehicle charging socket market trends show a shift toward universal standards (CCS2 becoming dominant in Europe, GB/T in China) and higher voltage compatibility (1000V+ sockets for next-gen EVs). Demand for waterproof, high-amperage sockets (up to 500A) is rising for fast charging, while integrated socket-connector systems with built-in safety features gain popularity. The market also sees growth in smart sockets with RFID authentication and IoT connectivity for remote monitoring and payment integration.
