The commercial vehicle is anticipated to be the most promising and fast-growing segment during the forecast period owing to the rising adoption of electric buses especially in China and India by replacing fossil-fuel-based public transport fleets. Moreover, the trend of using eCommerce, logistics, and shared mobility will propel the growth of the electric commercial vehicle market during the forecast period.
Insight by Power Output
On the basis of power output, the global electric vehicle market is segregated into less than 100 kW, 100 kW to 250 kW, and more than 250 kW. The 100 kW to 250 kW is anticipated to witness a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising adoption of electric buses and trucks for public transportation and freight service applications.
Insight by Vehicle Class
On the basis of vehicle class, the global electric vehicle market is bifurcated into mid-priced and luxury, The mid-priced segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period and it has limited functions and has less emphasis on infotainment, dashboards, and other expensive functions. China is one of the leading countries in the mid-price segment. For instance, the world’s cheapest EV, Wuling HongGuang Mini EV was launched in China and its cost was USD 5000. This was the top-sold EV model with no additional features except traditional driving.
Insight by EV Charging Points
On the basis of EV charging points, the global electric vehicle market is bifurcated into normal charging and supercharging. The supercharging segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific region has the highest number of superchargers in the world as Asian people prefer to fast charge their vehicles for daily use.
Insight by Vehicle Drive Type
On the basis of vehicle drive type, the global electric vehicle market is divided into front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive. Among all these segments, the demand for real-wheel drive EVs is anticipated to be high during the forecast period. It has easier vehicle control and the rising demand in the Asia Pacific and Europe.
