Market Growth Factors

The growth of the electric vehicles market in Europe is supported by strong government incentives and regulatory standards, with various EU and non-EU countries announcing plans to ban the sale of ICE vehicles. Tax incentives, purchase subsidies, and grants for charging point infrastructure and development are aimed at encouraging EV adoption among businesses and consumers, and are part of the EU Green Deal and regional Climate Plans.

Corporate fleet electrification can be a meaningful driver with many large corporations electrifying their fleets as part of their logistics, ride-hailing, delivery and mobility services corporate sustainability and/or cost reduction programs. The business incentives for electrifying commercial fleets can include reduced operating costs, exemption from emission taxes and reduced corporate social responsibility costs. A meaningful part of electric vehicle demand comes from corporations purchasing high-volume vehicle fleets.

Advances and declining costs for batteries are easing access into the mass market for electric vehicles. In-vehicle battery technology developments for improvements regarding energy density, lowering charge time, and increasing ranges can help allay consumer concerns and enable other applications. Solid-state batteries, lightweight materials, and power electronics improvements offer the potential toward improved efficiency. Due to localized production and economies of scale, manufacturers can market EVs more widely across a broader price range, and this helps EV adoption in the region.
