The global electric two wheeler market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the rising cost of fuel, the desire for more efficient transportation solutions and the need to reduce carbon emissions, and declining battery prices in the global lithium ion battery market. Governments all around the world are enacting laws and implementing policies to encourage the usage of electric vehicles, which is also boosting the market's expansion.
Electric two wheelers are plug-in electric vehicles with power being supplied by a rechargeable battery (battery type varies, but lithium batteries are most preferred) which drives the electric motor propelling the vehicle forward. As they do not combust fossil fuels, they are considered zero-emission vehicles.
Motorized two-wheelers are an affordable form of individual transportation which is overwhelmingly utilitarian due to low prices and greater fuel economy. With the recent disruptions due to environmental regulations, government incentives, and economic viability, the two-wheeler segment is set for a complete electric transformation.
The global electric two-wheeler market consists of electric Scooters, electric motorcycles, and electric motorbikes. In the current scenario, e-scooters dominate the electric two-wheeler market globally. The growing demand for energy-efficient commuting, declining battery prices, and government supporting electric mobility through subsidies and tax rebates have compelled the two-wheeler OEMs to explore beyond the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) in two-wheelers.
India is the largest two-wheeler market; electric two-wheelers sales have increased significantly from 1,453 units in 2015 to 6,15,365 units in FY 2022. Some of the major models are Ola S1, Ather 450x, Iqube S, etc. The Indian electric two-wheeler market is expected to grow exponentially because of the support in terms of government policy.
For instance, the FAME II policy provides an incentive of INR 15000 per kW for electric two-wheelers. The Indian electric vehicle market responded positively to this move since it helps reduce models' prices by INR 7000-20000. Besides that, many individual state policies make it a very lucrative segment for OEMs.
Micromobility (transportation over short distances by lightweight vehicles) schemes for personal transport, such as electric bikes and electric scooters, are now seen as an alternative to forms of transport such as buses and railways. Many cities have redesigned urban space during the pandemic to shift away from private cars to suit these forms of e-mobility. For instance, building on a successful electric bike sharing scheme, Paris is regulating operators who have now deployed thousands of electric bikes and e-scooters and established 2,500 stations with 15,000 parking spots reserved for e-scooters.
Electric micromobility surged in the second half of 2020, one of the consumer trends that accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, further boosted by the construction of bike lanes and other measures to promote mobility. As of February 2021, around 650 cities have shared micromobility services. In Europe, electric scooter services have increased rapidly, with more than 100 cities adding operations since July 2020.
Several major operators are introducing swappable lithium batteries to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions. Although swappable batteries increase the number of total batteries needed to support a fleet, they can significantly reduce operational emissions and enable a longer lifetime of vehicles.
The global electric scooter and electric motorcycle market are dominated by start-ups currently. However, conventional motorcycle giants are diving into the electric segment. For instance, Hero moto corporation, the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, is actively expanding its presence in the electric segment.
Lack of charging infrastructure is a significant restraint to global electric vehicle Market, and electric two wheelers are no exception. Though most manufacturers are switching to lithium-ion battery system from hitherto used sealed lead acid batteries (enhancing battery capacity) and started providing charging facilities of their own. However, they are not enough to beat range anxiety and make the charging process hassle-free. Other major restraints are
