Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles with electric motors that are powered by a battery instead of a combustion engine. These vehicles can include passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. EVs are usually quiet, convenient, and cost-effective as compared to their traditional gasoline-powered counterparts.
Several governments are offering attractive incentives and policies to drive the sales of EVs. Consumers benefit from reduced selling prices, low or zero registration fees, and access to free charging infrastructure at various charging stations. Globally, several governments have waived road, import, and purchase taxes through various subsidy programs. These incentives have also encouraged automobile manufacturers to increase their EV production.
Advancements in battery technology are driving the electric vehicles market expansion. Innovations in battery chemistry, including solid-state and lithium-ion batteries, have resulted in increased energy density and reduced battery charging durations, making EVs more feasible and appealing to consumers. Besides, the declining costs of batteries, primarily driven by the introduction of advanced manufacturing techniques, have increased the affordability of EVs as compared to traditional vehicles. Improved performance capabilities, such as swifter acceleration and increased driving ranges, further drive the adoption of EVs.
Electric Vehicle Market Report Highlights
By propulsion type, the PHEV segment accounted for the largest electric vehicle market share in 2024, as the combination of electric and IC engine power enables the vehicle to travel long distances.
By power source, the 100 kW to 250 kW segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2034. The segment's rapid growth is primarily driven by the growing adoption of electric buses and trucks, particularly for freight service and public transportation.
North America accounted for a considerable revenue share of the electric vehicle market in 2024. This share is ascribed to the growing demand for EVs in the region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness rapid growth during the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for electric cars in major economies such as Japan, India, and China.
BAIC Group, BMW, BYD, GAC Motors, Great Wall Motors, Hyundai Group, Jaguar, Mercedes, SAIC Motors, Stellantis, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen Group are a few key players in the market.
