Major trends in the forecast period include battery technology advancements, expansion of charging infrastructure, government incentives and policies, rise in electric vehicle models, cost reduction and affordability.

Strict government regulations on vehicle emissions are expected to drive the growth of the electric vehicle market in the future. Governments worldwide are implementing regulatory measures to reduce harmful gas emissions from vehicles. Electric vehicles are environmentally friendly options that do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, in August 2024, the Indian government introduced several policies aimed at promoting the manufacturing and adoption of electric vehicles. A key initiative is the Electric Vehicle Policy, which provides incentives to attract investments from global EV manufacturers. This policy seeks to position India as a manufacturing hub for advanced EVs while ensuring local value addition and reducing production costs. Therefore, stringent government regulations on vehicle emissions will significantly boost the electric vehicle market.

The anticipated growth of the electric vehicle market is significantly influenced by the declining costs of electric vehicle batteries. These batteries serve as rechargeable energy storage units that power electric vehicles, converting stored electricity into the energy required for vehicle propulsion. The reduction in electric vehicle (EV) battery prices carries multiple benefits for the industry. As battery costs decrease, electric vehicles become more affordable, fostering broader consumer adoption and expanding the total addressable market for EVs and batteries. For example, in 2022, as reported by an international energy agency, the demand for automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries surged by approximately 65%, reaching 550 GWh in 2022 compared to around 330 GWh in 2021. This growth was primarily driven by the increased sales of electric passenger cars, with new registrations experiencing a 55% increase in 2022 compared to 2021. While the supply of nickel and cobalt exceeded demand in 2022, lithium faced a different scenario, leading to a stronger price increase. However, between January and March 2023, lithium prices witnessed a 20% decline, returning to their late 2022 levels. This trend was attributed to a projected 40% increase in lithium supply and slower growth in demand, particularly for EVs in China. Consequently, the decreasing cost of electric vehicle batteries is a key driver behind the growth of the electric vehicle market.

Technological advancements stand out as the key trends driving innovation in the electric vehicle market. Leading companies in this industry are actively engaged in the development of new technological solutions to enhance their market positions. A notable example is QuantumScape, a US-based renewable energy company, which is pioneering solid-state battery technology to extend the range of electric vehicles and facilitate faster recharging. In February 2022, QuantumScape conducted tests demonstrating the capabilities of its solid-state batteries. The results revealed that these batteries successfully completed 400 consecutive 15-minute (4C) fast-charge cycles, charging from 10% to 80% capacity. This technological achievement showcases the potential of solid-state batteries to revolutionize electric vehicle performance and charging capabilities, reflecting the industry's commitment to advancing cutting-edge solutions.

Major players in the electric vehicle market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products featuring advanced technologies, including the adoption of solid-state batteries. Solid-state batteries represent a groundbreaking technology with the potential to revolutionize energy storage and usage. For example, in May 2023, LEVC, a London-based electric vehicle manufacturer, unveiled its new global pure electric vehicle technology known as Space Oriented Architecture (SOA). This cutting-edge technology is designed to propel LEVC beyond being solely a high-end taxi manufacturer, positioning it as a leading provider of pure electric vehicles. The SOA technology promises significant advancements in range, efficiency, safety, and charging time, aligning with LEVC's vision to deliver smart, green, safe, and accessible mobility on a global scale. This example underscores the industry's commitment to incorporating innovative technologies, such as solid-state batteries, to drive advancements in electric vehicle performance and sustainability.

In January 2023, Ideanomics Inc., a US-based electric vehicle company, made a strategic move by acquiring VIA Motors for an undisclosed amount.

An electric vehicle (EV) is a self-propelled vehicle powered by an electric motor, relying on electrical charging for transportation. These vehicles contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing harmful air pollution associated with exhaust emissions, using minimal or no combustion fuels such as petrol, diesel, or gas.

The primary types of electric vehicles include battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. A battery electric vehicle operates exclusively on a battery or battery pack, storing energy produced by the electric motor or through regenerative braking to power the vehicle. These vehicles are categorized into various types, including two-wheelers, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles, and are associated with different charging methods such as slow charging and fast charging. Power outputs for electric vehicles can be classified as less than 100 kW, 100 kW to 250 kW, and more than 250 kW. The end-users of electric vehicles encompass private individuals and commercial fleets.
