Passenger Electric Vehicles Global Market Report 2024

The passenger electric vehicles market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $365.72 billion in 2023 to $479.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to investments in research and development, a shift in consumer perception, early government incentives, initial initiatives by automakers, and regulatory emissions standards.

The passenger electric vehicles market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1348.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the expansion of infrastructure, governmental backing, commitment from automakers, improvements in range and performance, and a surge in consumer demand. Major trends expected in the forecast period include increasing urbanization, advancements in battery technology, the expansion of charging infrastructure, government incentives and policies, and investments by automakers.

The increasing concerns about environmental factors, such as global warming and climate change, are driving the demand for electric vehicles, consequently propelling the passenger electric vehicle market. The heightened environmental awareness has led more individuals to shift towards alternative transportation modes with lower pollution levels. This shift has resulted in a substantial uptick in the global purchase of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are considered highly sustainable as they do not emit greenhouse gases or health-damaging nitrogen oxide. Additionally, they are quieter and easier to operate. For instance, UNICEF data notes that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) aims to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by 45 percent by 2030 to prevent global warming beyond 1.5oC, a threshold critical for averting the worst impacts of climate change. These factors are expected to drive the demand for electric vehicles, influencing the growth of the passenger electric vehicles market.

The expanding charging infrastructure is poised to be a significant driver for the growth of the passenger electric vehicles market. Charging infrastructure encompasses the network of charging stations and related equipment that facilitates the recharging of electric vehicles (EVs). This infrastructure brings the convenience of recharging, contributes to emission reduction and decreased air pollution, lessens reliance on fossil fuels, and supports the widespread adoption of passenger electric vehicles. For instance, a report from Twilio Inc., a US-based cloud communications platform, projects that by 2030, there will be 12.9 million publicly accessible EV charging stations. Therefore, the increasing charging infrastructure plays a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the passenger electric vehicles market.

Challenges related to battery capacity and drainage pose significant obstacles to the growth of the passenger electric vehicles market. The capacity of lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in electric cars, diminishes with the increase in charging and discharging cycles. Factors such as high temperatures, overcharging, low voltages, and high charge currents can damage an electric vehicle's battery. The risk of battery drainage during a journey, particularly in areas lacking electric charging stations, leaves drivers without an alternative power source. For example, a report in the Economic Times (Auto) highlighted poor performance and inadequate battery capacity in Mahindra's electric cars, which couldn't achieve even 80-82 km on a single charge. These battery-related issues limit the broader use of electric vehicles, acting as a constraint on the growth of the passenger electric vehicles market.

Companies within the passenger electric vehicles market are concentrating on technological advancements to enhance the range of their vehicles. Automotive manufacturers have successfully increased the battery range of their electric models by an average of 38 miles, reflecting a cumulative annual average increase of 15%. Ongoing developments include fluoride-ion batteries, demonstrating superior performance compared to the currently prevalent lithium-ion batteries. These fluoride-ion batteries exhibit higher energy density and are more environmentally friendly than existing lithium-ion technology. The introduction of this battery technology holds the potential for electric vehicles to cover more distance with the same physical-sized pack or the same distance with a physically smaller battery pack, ultimately enhancing the range of the vehicle. Honda is actively involved in this initiative and collaborates with CalTech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to advance this technology.

Major companies operating in the passenger electric vehicles market are strategically emphasizing innovative products, particularly electric vehicle batteries, to boost their market revenues. The electric vehicle battery is a pivotal component responsible for storing and supplying electrical energy to power the electric motor of the vehicle. For example, Gotion High Tech Co Ltd., a China-based battery manufacturing company for electric vehicles, unveiled a groundbreaking AV battery named Astroinno in May 2023. This new battery boasts a 1000 km range and may offer superior energy density compared to typical lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries. Furthermore, it is expected to be more cost-effective than batteries primarily reliant on nickel and cobalt. The Astroinno battery exhibits an energy density of 240 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) at the cell level and 190 Wh/kg at the system level.

In June 2022, Club Car, a US-based manufacturer and a global leader in golf, consumer, and utility vehicles, completed the acquisition of Garia A/S for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move enables Club Car to expand into the realm of low-speed electric vehicles. Garia A/S, based in Denmark, is a manufacturer of electric vehicles catering to the utility, consumer, and golf markets.
