The global electric vehicle market size is expected to reach USD 8,851.04 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 33.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to the recent reports of Grand View Research, Inc. Growing emphasis on environmental sustainability and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is propelling the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market. Governments across the nations are implementing stringent regulations and offering substantial incentives such as the UK plug-in vehicle grant, clean vehicle rebate project federal taxcredit in California, U.S., and Italy’s Superbonus tax credit, among others to promote the adoption of EVs, recognizing their potential to significantly cut down on air pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, advancements in battery technology are enhancing the efficiency, range, and affordability of EVs, making them more appealing to consumers, and thereby fostering the growth of electric vehicles in the market.

The growth of the EV market is being significantly driven by the replacement of existing vehicle fleets with electric alternatives. This transition is propelled by several key factors, including the increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, stringent government regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions, and the long-term economic benefits of EVs. Automakers and government agencies are leading this shift by updating their fleets with electric vehicles to meet sustainability goals and comply with regulatory standards. For instance, in January 2024, AB Volvo introduced a heavy truck model named Volvo FM Low Entry, developed with electric drive. The launch is in line with the company’s aim to expand the electric product range and aid customers in a smooth transition from conventional trucks to fully electric trucks for local transportation.

Additionally, advancements in EV technology, such as improved battery life and faster charging times, have made electric vehicles more practical and appealing. Financial incentives, such as tax rebates and subsidies, further encourage the adoption of EVs. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, offers federal tax credits of USD 7,500 for a new vehicle and USD 4,500 for a pre-owned vehicle to consumers on the purchase of an electric vehicle, plug in-EV, and fuel cell electric vehicles until 2032. As more organizations and individuals choose to replace their traditional internal combustion engine vehicles with electric ones, the demand for EVs continues to surge, driving the market growth.
