What’s the timeline for electric vehicles?

Automotive World looks at the challenges and opportunities facing the automotive industry as it prepares for a mainstream battery electric vehicle market

Special report: What’s the timeline for electric vehicles?

Automotive World’s special report on the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) explores the key challenges and opportunities facing automakers, suppliers and infrastructure providers as they prepare for a mainstream battery EV market.

Following a steady rise in EV adoption over the last decade, sales slowed in 2019. According to Berylls Strategy Advisors, global EV sales grew annually in excess of 50% between 2012 and 2018, but by just 5% y-o-y in 2019; even against a backdrop of falling global vehicle sales, this signalled “a standstill in demand for xEVs (BEVs and PHEVs combined)”.

Nonetheless, and despite coronavirus-related challenges, automakers are pushing ahead with EV strategies. Policy strongly influences EV sales, from punitive measures restricting city centre access for combustion engine vehicles to incentives for fleet and private buyers, and assistance for automakers to establish local manufacturing operations. China is proposing a target of 60% EV sales by 2035, and Europe is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050; such increasingly stringent emissions and fuel economy regulations make it impossible for automakers to survive without electrification.
