EV industry news updates

The sixth edition of LeasePlan’s EV Readiness Index is a comprehensive analysis of the preparedness of 22 European countries for the electric vehicle (EV) transition. The index is based on three factors: the maturity of the EV market, the maturity of the EV infrastructure, and the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an EV. The 22 countries included in...

In the last few years, the global e-mobility sector has grown significantly. This has largely been attributed to global policy support, as well as increasing concern around climate change. China is the biggest driver of the growth, followed by the USA and Europe. As the geopolitical climate grows increasingly unstable, companies aim to diversify their EV supply chains. In...

The cathode market for EVs is evolving. This raises several questions: what cathode chemistry will dominate the market in 2030? What’s the future of LNMO, and what applications can it be most useful for? Who are the key suppliers of cathode materials? How are the cathode and battery cell markets influenced by increasing competition on subsidies between the EU,...

To reach net zero by 2050, all cars sold from 2035 must be electric vehicles (EVs). That is the prediction by the International Energy Agency (IEA). This requires more than 70 million batteries a year for consumer EVs alone. This means demand for batteries will grow exponentially in the coming years.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 will boost Electric vehicle (EV) sales for consumers in the United States. The $370 billion allocated to climate and clean energy investments expands tax credits and incentives to deploy more clean vehicles, including commercial vehicles. Moreover, it supports a domestic EV supply chain and charging infrastructure buildout.

This report provides an This paper presents a summary of the development of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and charger standards. It focusses on the four major vehicle markets of China, the European Union, Japan, and the United States and identifies three strategies available to national authorities for choosing among charger standards, meaning the technical specifications that define charger use...

As a major driver of decarbonisation, the electrification of road transport plays a key role In the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. To support this transition, the power sector will need to ensure a secure supply of electricity for EV charging and take advantage of EV flexibility through seamless integration with the power system.

This expert study focuses on batteries of electric passenger vehicles and their recyclability, re-use, and recoverability. The scope of the report is limited to automotive lithium-ion batteries and excludes other parts of electrified vehicles. Geographically, its focus is on Europe.

As in many countries, the roll-out of charging infrastructure in the UK is critical to the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The UK charging infrastructure network needs to be expanded quickly, not only because EV ownership keeps growing rapidly, but also to reduce range anxiety and provide people who do not yet own an EV with the confidence to...
