For achieving sustainable development goals and offer technologically superior products, for both customer utility and the interest of industries, Electric Vehicle production and distribution has been on a considerable rise in recent years.Â
What is an Electric Vehicle?
EV or electric vehicle utilizes the device of an electric motor. EV has replaced the internal- combustion engine that combines various gases and fuels to generate power. Due to a rise in air pollution and emissions from carbon footprints and vehicles, electric vehicles have been in vogue for a long time. As a result of its mechanism, the electric vehicle is effective in tackling the problem of pollution. An electric vehicle is a replacement for automobiles. Batteries that use zinc-air, molten-salt, lithium-ion are used in the manufacture of Electric Vehicles.
Mechanism - How does an EV operate?
To explain the demand for Electric vehicles, consumers must have a profound understanding of its mechanism. EVs often use one or more electric motors aided by the traction motors for propulsion. Self-charging devices such as turbochargers and RBS, regenerative braking system enables one to charge the vehicles.
Global Markets for EV, Demand and Types of Electric Vehicles
According to records, the market for electric vehicles was estimated to grow from 162.34 billion USD in 2019 to over 802 billion by 2027 by a CAGR of 22.6%. Emerging from fuel-emissions which are detrimental to the environment, there has been a noticeable surge for electric vehicles. Technological advancements have been a driving force for the growing popularity of electric vehicles. The prominent range of electric vehicles, in the market, is battery electric vehicles (BEV), Hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It is categorized into two-wheelers, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles.
Top Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles
