Electric Vehicle
Introduction
Electric Vehicles (EV) have emerged as a green and reliable alternative to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE)
vehicles. Existing OEMs and new specialised players in major parts of the US, Europe and Asia are focusing on transforming
the automotive value chain for smooth transition to EV.
Green aspirations of authorities has lead to less initial requirements for OEMs to manufacture EVs. This
governmental/regulatory pressure linked with technological advancements, increased charging infrastructures and
growing demand for fuel efficient vehicles has triggered the adoption rate.
EV cars mechanically are less complex when compared to traditional ICE vehicles.
This leads to cutting down the jobs and labor in operations related to vehicle production.

However, new opportunities would open in the segment of batteries, and related products
Various cities including Paris, Copenhagen, London, Beijing are planning to ban gasoline and diesel vehicles from the city
in near future. The huge push from the authorities have made China the largest consumer of EVs leading ahead of US and
Norway. Meanwhile in Europe, the Parliament has established new CO2 emission standards for cars and LCVs with
incentives for Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs).

The forecast for the Electric Vehicle market is positive according to scenarios put forth both by International Energy
Agency (IEA) and Electric Vehicle Initiative (EVI), which is a multi-governmental policy forum established in 2009
under the Clean Energy Ministerial. The EV forecast according to these scenarios is discussed below:
• Shared “free floating” electric foot scooters flourished very rapidly in 2018 and early 2019 in major cities around the
world. These foot scooter schemes now operate in around 129 cities in the United States, 30 in Europe, 7 in Asia and 6
in Australia and New Zealand.
EV Chargers
• The number of EV chargers continued to rise in 2018 to an estimated 5.2 million
worldwide for light-duty vehicles (LDVs).
• Most are slow chargers (levels 1 and 2 at homes and workplaces), complemented by
almost 540,000 publicly accessible chargers (including 150,000 fast chargers, 78% of
which are in China).
• With the 156,000 fast chargers for buses, by the end of 2018 there were about 300,000
fast chargers installed globally.
Electricity Demand
• The global EV fleet consumed an estimated 58 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in
2018, similar to the total electricity demand of Switzerland in 2017.
• Two-wheelers continued to account for the largest share (55%) of EV energy demand,
while light-duty vehicles (LDVs) witnessed the strongest growth of all transport
modes in 2017-18.
• China accounted for 80% of world electricity demand for EVs in 2018.
CO2 Emissions
• The global EV stock in 2018 emitted about 38 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide
equivalent (Mt CO2-eq) on a well-to-wheel basis(1).
• This compares to 78 Mt CO2-eq emissions that an equivalent internal combustion
engine fleet would have emitted, leading to net savings from EV deployment of 40 Mt
CO2-eq in 2018.

Introduction of electric vehicles has led to disruption of the value chain in automotive
segment, leading to introduction of few new players. However, some existing players
will disappear. Batteries will be major component, with almost 20% of the industry’s
revenue. Emergence of new businesses in the field of electric charging infrastructure
and other EV related services is bound to happen.
Lithium-ion batteries are major battery-types globally that is currently succeeding over other battery types. Automobile
manufacturers have identified three types of rechargeable batteries as suitable for electric car use: lead-acid batteries,
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, and ultracapacitors.

Potential in EV Batteries
Battery manufacturers are keeping a fast-pace integration plans with electric vehicles; however, the manufacturers are
facing various challenges including governments’ sluggish response towards infrastructure development, slow growth in
the transition from fuel to electric vehicles, and existing unstructured infrastructure. For instance, the US Department of
Energy (DOE) has identified gaps in some critical parameters of Li-ion. Lithium-ion is becoming a preferred alternative for
electric powertrain. For instance, Li-nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC), Li-phosphate and Li-manganese are being majorly
used over other batteries. Newer NiMH batteries, which are cheaper and safer than Li-ion, are also suitable for the electric
powertrain but these mature systems are often excluded from government grants for research.

The EV producers are taking investment decisions in mass manufacturing of EVs based on various factors such as design,
functionality and price of vehicle batteries. Batteries are integral to the main formats of EVs including all-electric vehicles
(EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
The ongoing revolution in the batteries manufacturing are poised to become a significant driving factor for electric vehicle
mobility. Battery cell producers are adding massive amounts of production capacity to capture market share and
economies of scale.
• LG Chem has been aggressively focusing on expanding its cell capacity since last two years and has pushed ahead with a

• According to BCG’s research, the existing battery market is burdened with overcapacity, which could be managed by
becoming cost-competitive through improving operational performance
• The battery manufacturers are required to adopt the concept of smart factory with the integration of industry 4.0
technologies that enhance plant structures and processes
• Such transition to smart factory will enable battery manufacturers to reduce the cumulative battery cell costs per
kilowatt-hour (kWh) of capacity by up to 20%
• These savings are the outcome of achieving lower capex and utility costs, and in-turn higher yield rates
• The production-related costs, excluding materials, could be reduced within 20% - 35% across three major steps of
battery cell production: electrode production, cell assembly, and cell finishing

The existing plants, which are operating at their full planned capacity, are expected to have a sizeable demand for raw
materials from battery megafactories in pipeline. Based on the hypothesis, nickel demand from batteries is expected to
increase by over 10 times and lithium production at over 2 mn tonnes annually to cater to these demands. In 2018, lithium
production was approximately 300,000 tonnes, of which approximately 50% went into batteries. As EVs become widely
adopted and battery megafactories continue to grow in number and scale, the impact race on raw materials will be

gasoline two-wheelers from urban centres
• However, some cities are banning low-speed electric two-
wheelers to avoid road accidents. This policy is effecting
the demand as 2/3rd of electric two-wheelers in China
have low-speed range
• Electric two-wheelers have no dedicated charging
infrastructure till now. However, vehicles are charged
through regular power outlets available in local buildings
Electric Three-wheelers
• The market and production of electric three-wheelers is heavily concentrated in China and India.
• China alone has stock of more than 50 million units of electric three-wheelers. Whereas, the count of the same in India
is 2.38 million units, as of end of 2018
• In China, the market is getting depressed after the introduction of limits related to production low-speed electric
vehicle
• In India, heavy support of government derived the growth as 630,000 units of electric three-wheelers were sold in 2018.
The government through its FAME programme provides 8 models of electric three-wheeler at subsidised prices
• Due to lack of availability of dedicated charging infrastructure regular power outlets in local buildings are used for
charging. Further few on-grid fixed charging stations and off-grid mobile solar-powered charging points have came into
existence
• In Aug’19, Shado Group from Singapore introduced a new instant-charging electric three-wheeler “Erick “
Electric Buses
• Electric buses stock registered a growth of 25% in 2018. The global stock of buses reached 460,000 with 92,000 new
registrations in 2018
• China remains the leader in electric buses segment, accounting for almost 99% of the global market. Outside China
only 900 new electric buses were registered in 2018, most of these registrations were done in Europe
• In India, Government funding for 390 electric buses in 11 cities made available in late 2017 under the first phase of the
FAME scheme drove adoption of electric buses in 2018; in 2019, India sanctioned 5,645 electric buses for intra-city
operations in 65 cities and for inter-city operations in 8 states, however no timeframe has been given yet
• Till 2018, 157,000 dedicated chargers were installed globally for charging electric buses with 153,000 chargers installed
in China, accounting for 97% of global installed dedicated bus chargers

Electric Trucks
• The electric truck market is in very early stages compared to other electric vehicle markets.
• China being the largest player registered sale of 1,000-2,000 medium and heavy trucks in 2018 with overall stock of
electric trucks crossing 5,000 units
• European region has shown some signs of growth as a group of OEMs provided more than 50 medium freight trucks for
fleet operators
• Minimal dedicated charging infrastructure is available for electric trucks. Moreover, due to the heavy load and battery
power even fast chargers consumes 6 hours to completely charge the battery
• However, Tesla recently announced launch of new mega chargers which can completely charge battery in 30 minutes
• The off-highway EV are gaining popularity due to their non-toxic exhaust, which enables mining companies to avoid
installation cost of ventilation system
• Mass adoption of off-highway EVs will require 10-15 years due to the varied usage and purposes of off-highway vehicles
In a decade from now the best selling, and most profitable electric
vehicles (EVs) will be in the off-highway sector
- Peter Harrop, Chairman and Founder, IDTechEx
Charging Infrastructure
Growing adoption of EVs has created a need for better deployment of charging infrastructure. Access to EV charging
infrastructure is one of the major barriers in the path of discovery of complete potential in e-mobility.
EV charging value chain is in its growth stage and is supposed undergo an evolvement in future, with expansion of the
market with increased participation of active players.
• Charging stations and charging points are the major part of value chain infrastructure facilitating the EV charging.
Further, EV chargers could be classified by three main types:
Charging Points
• China accounts for more than 50% of publicly installed EV chargers globally, with almost 78% of total fast public
chargers and 41% of total slow public chargers
• The installation rate of slow public chargers was higher when compared to fast public chargers in European region and
US
• The ratio of EV per public charger is 20 in US and Norway, despite their heavy EV adoption rate
• Whereas, the ratio of public chargers to EV is 4-8 in Denmark and Netherlands
• For private chargers, China and Japan have ratio of 1.5 EVs per private charger
• Whereas, other countries excluding China and Japan have ratio of 1.1 private charger per EV

Key Players
• Heavy collaboration and competition is observed in automakers, government agencies, charging network companies,
private players, electrical utilities, and oil companies for the deployment of EV charging infrastructure
• The heavy initial investments, uncertain future demand, and heavy competition from private home chargers is
refraining the growth of profitable business models in EV charging segment
Source: McKinsey
• ICEs power majority of cars worldwide; however, vehicle dynamics are changing with the technology advancements
that is supporting surge in vehicle production.
• EVs are gaining stronghold due to various advantages over ICE vehicles that include faster movement due to higher
torque at the beginning, lower maintenance due to the removal of moving parts, nearly zero emission from the tail-pipe
that offers an environment-friendly vehicle in a world where most of countries are fighting against negative climate
changes

Trends, Growth Drivers and Challenges
Intelligent Vehicles
The vehicle manufacturers are taking constructive steps to further advance the vehicle driving experiences by
introducing autonomous, self-driving vehicles. For instance, Einride, the Swedish company that introduced the T-pod
and T-log, developed a system to enable an operator to remotely control multiple self-driving trucks at once. Such
advanced feature significantly reduces the manpower, enhances efficiency and reinvent whole markets.
Increased Range
ICEs offer better speed, convenience, and refueling options; however, EVs are lagging behind the ICE against these
benefits, which is a major barrier with EVs that offer limited range of output. EV infrastructure is not fully established
worldwide and charging stations are not installed in the close proximity with one another due to which the vehicles run
out of power faster. Contrary to these challenges, the technology developers are working on probable solutions that
include installation of range-extending hybrids, and introduction of solar-powered car.
Growing EV Production
Globally, manufacturers are increasing production volume of EVs, which offer delivers comparatively efficient
operational and maintenance than traditional cars. Such traits allow EV producers to capitalize on the growing demand
make these vehicles easily available to the customers. Further, EV powertrains are simple and provide interchangeable
components that enable manufacturers to work on additional details including such as design, ergonomics and in-turn
cater to customer requirements.
Electrify ICE
Major OEMs who develop ICE-based vehicles, are shifting their focus towards EVs and identifying efficient ways to
convert their ICE-powered vehicles to hybrid or fully electric vehicles. The EV design teams of such OEMs are looking
beyond EV-only products and using advanced PLM tools to figure ways to work smarter, analyze vehicle designing and
perform comprehensive simulation across various environments to find efficient ways for ICE-to-EV conversions.

Growth Drivers
Growth Drivers
Reduced battery costs
• High demand for batteries is leading to technical advancements and
economies of scale. These developments are resulting in drastic decline in
battery costs. Also in future battery costs will continue declining, making EVs
Battery cost will
to shift to a further affordable range reduce by 15-20%
• Despite the short-term moments in price of batteries, the battery prices are
expected to fall from current level of USD176/kWh to USD87/kWh in 2025 and every year, as per
USD62/kWh in 2030. As per a study by JP Morgan, rapid reduction of 15-20%
in battery price is expected allowing China to produce EV and ICE vehicle at a JP Morgan
cost parity by 2020
300 263
• Another reason behind these new launches is the
200 162 expectation of fierce competition in near future
96
100 • OEMs are expected to launch 66 new EV models in
2019 and 101 models in 2020. Availability of these new
0 options will further allow EV OEMs to capture the
2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 market share of the traditional ICE technology vehicles
Regulatory boost/pressure
• Zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates and strict regulations related to fuel economy are boosting the demand for EV.
For instance, the fleet average CO2 emission targets in Europe will require at least 10% of market share to be captured
by PHEVs and BEVs by 2025
• Financial incentives provided by local governments are providing traction to EV demand. Various local governments are
providing subsidies, VAT and vehicle registration tax exemptions on purchase of EV and EV chargers to incentivize the
EV buyers. These incentives are making EV to compete the ICE vehicles on pricing

Battery technology is a critical component in the electric vehicle (EV) value chain, representing a substantial portion of production costs and influencing the competitive landscape. As major components, lithium-ion batteries are taking precedence over other types, e.g., lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride, due to their higher energy density and longevity . This vital role reshapes the value chain by increasing reliance on battery suppliers and influencing traditional automakers to reconsider their supply chains and potentially re-insource to capture value . Traditional OEMs are impacted as they must invest heavily in battery development and innovation, evident in partnerships like Volkswagen's investment with Northvolt AB to build a significant battery plant in Germany . These shifts enable automakers to simplify production processes and improve capital efficiencies, yet also pose challenges as they must integrate new technology while transitioning from internal combustion engines to battery electric vehicles, altering their historical supply chain dynamics .
Automation and technology are crucial in disrupting the traditional automotive value chain as electric vehicles gain prominence by replacing many manual processes with more efficient automated systems. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) require fewer mechanical components than internal combustion engine vehicles, simplifying the production process and enabling automation at a greater scale . The integration of technologies such as autonomous driving, data analytics, and smart grid systems further reshapes the value chain, as these require new expertise and supplier relationships that differ from traditional automotive manufacturing . Moreover, OEMs are leveraging automation to achieve capital efficiencies; for example, Ford anticipates a reduction in capital investment and improvements in labor savings due to automation in the production of its next battery electric vehicle systems . As technology continues to evolve, traditional automakers must adapt by investing in new capabilities and partnerships to maintain their competitive edge in the rapidly transforming automotive sector.
The focus on public and highway charging infrastructure by companies like Ionity and Electrify America significantly influences the electrification strategy in the US and Europe by reducing range anxiety, which is a major barrier to EV adoption. Ionity, a joint venture supported by major automakers and the European Commission, emphasizes highway chargers to enable long-distance travel across Europe . Similarly, Electrify America's deployment of numerous public chargers across the US ensures that EV drivers can access charging points conveniently, promoting EV adoption beyond urban areas . This focus on enhancing charging infrastructure aligns with broader electrification strategies by creating a supportive environment for widespread EV adoption, thus accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to electric mobility in both regions. Such infrastructure development is crucial for achieving sustainability goals, accommodating increasing numbers of electric vehicles, and strengthening the regions' positions in the global EV market.
The European Union's strategic plans to enhance EV production by 2025 are poised to significantly bolster its competitive position in the global automotive market. The EU aims to achieve mass production and develop a robust battery supply, with a forecasted 274 GWh battery production capacity by 2028 . This alignment of strategic resources lowers dependency on foreign battery suppliers, diminishes logistical bottlenecks, and fortifies the local supply chain. The European EV market's anticipated aggressive growth during 2020-2021 is set to transform it into a mainstream sector, further catalyzed by investments from key manufacturers, such as Volkswagen, planning to deliver 22 million EVs by 2028, with half of these produced in China . These plans align with the EU's emphasis on environmental sustainability and technological leadership, offering it a pronounced edge in reducing carbon emissions while strengthening the region's automotive industry competitiveness.
European carmakers are preparing the EU to become a mainstream EV market by 2025 through substantial investment in expanding production capacity and securing battery supply. Carmakers are aggressively scaling up EV volumes, with plans announced to deliver 131 GWh of battery production capacity by 2023, growing to 274 GWh by 2028 . Such scaling efforts are supported by strategic collaborations, exemplified by Volkswagen's investment in a joint venture with Northvolt for battery manufacturing . These initiatives aim to develop an integrated supply chain within Europe, reducing dependency on external sources and smoothing the pathway for mass production. Additionally, carmakers like Ford and Volkswagen are planning to introduce numerous EV models to the market, aligning product offerings with the anticipated demand for EVs . These efforts reflect a comprehensive strategy to meet emissions regulations, satisfy consumer preferences for cleaner vehicles, and position the EU as a leading player in the global electric vehicle market.
China's anticipated increase in market share in the global EV market by 2025 is underpinned by substantial investments and production trends that favor its growth.
