This is how you benefit from the energy transition with charging station shares

Cologne Electromobility is one of the greatest upheavals of our time. The vast majority of investors are focusing on the car manufacturers themselves. They seem to be forgetting that the charging infrastructure is just as important for the success of the industry restructuring.

The charging station sector will benefit significantly from the electrification of the European car fleet. At the same time, the market is still in its infancy, says Salah-Eddine Bouhmidi, Head of Markets at Broker IG: “As with all new technologies and industries, the risks are high at the beginning.” However, so are the potential returns for investors.

In view of the already high valuations of the e-car manufacturers, Bouhmidi considers providers of charging stations to be sensible components in a diversified portfolio. There are promising stocks in the Netherlands and the USA, among others. The business models are sometimes blatantly different. But the forecasts are optimistic everywhere. It is worthwhile for investors to take a detailed look at the market.
