An electric vehicle, EV, or electric car, has an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine for propulsion. There are three main types of electric vehicles: BEVs, or battery electric vehicles, PHEVs, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and HEVs, or hybrid electric vehicles. Battery Electric Vehicles are fully-electric vehicles with rechargeable batteries (no gasoline engine). Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles can recharge the battery through regenerative braking and "plugging in" to an external source of electrical power. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) are powered by gasoline and electricity. EV´s first appeared in the mid 19th century, but internal combustion engines have been the dominant propulsion systems for the past 100 years. In the 21st century, EV´s reappeared strongly as a result of technological developments, investment in charging infrastructure and a focus on reduced emission and alternative sources of power, such as electricity and renewable energy. The EV market growth was especially accelerated by the launch of Tesla, led by Elon Musk, in 2008. Tesla EV market share is the largest in EV sales and is the main manufacturer of EV with 14% of EV market share in 2019. Learn more about T4's strategy consulting services here.
The chart shows the Electric Car Market Size from 2019 to 2026. In 2020, the size of the Electric Car Industry was $238B and is projected to grow 16% in 2021. From 2019 to 2026 the Electric Car Industry growth is projected to average 15.6% per year. These estimates were made before the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The short term impact of COVID-19 on the Electric Vehicles market growth will likely be High because social distancing policies have drastically reduced road traffic, automobile purchasing declines in recessions, and alternative energy cars may be less attractive with oil prices near historical lows. The long term impact of COVID-19 on the Electric Vehicles market growth beyond the COVID-19 pandemic will likely be Low because public transit may become viewed as more dangerous, automobile purchasing will rebound after recessions, and oil prices will rise as output falls.
