Although the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on the global economy, the global sales of electric vehicles have seen a significant increase in 2020, and sales have soared. According to data from the Swedish consulting company EV Volumes, in 2020, the world's electric vehicles will reach 43 % Growth rate, total sales of 3.24 million units, the global market share of electric vehicles increased from 2.5% in 2019 to 4.2% in 2020.
The German Federal Motor Transport Administration (KBA) reported on January 7 that in 2020, sales of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, natural gas and hydrogen vehicles accounted for 22% of the entire market. The number of vehicles used has increased rapidly at a rate of more than twice every year, reaching 194,163 vehicles. In terms of battery electric passenger cars, Volkswagen has the largest share of new registrations at 23.8%, followed by Renault (16.2%) and Tesla (8.6%).
In 2020, the market share of electric vehicles in France has more than tripled, from less than 2% to 6.7%, which is higher than the global average growth level. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have also strongly increased sales in France , Gasoline and diesel have lost their original market share.
At the same time, the data of EV-Volume shows that the sales of plug-in passenger cars in Europe in 2020 will increase by 137% year-on-year to nearly 1.4 million, and overall sales will increase by 20% year-on-year. In China, sales of electric vehicles increased by 12% last year to 1.34 million. Europe replaced China as a global electric vehicle sales driver for the first time in 2020. However, in 2020, Europe regards China as a global electric vehicle purchaser for the first time in five years. The largest source .
Recently, Mr. Song Tao, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Dealers Association, interpreted the development of electric vehicles in various markets around the world, aiming to help dealers further understand the current and future development trends and challenges of electric vehicles Challenges and development paths we can learn from.
First look at the UK. Drive Electric predicts that in 2021, the UK’s new sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) will double to at least 200,000.The UK’s goal is to stop selling all cars that emit emissions by 2030, and to invest nearly 3 billion euros in electric vehicle production within this decade. The sales of electric cars in the UK are already on the rise, but their high prices may hinder the general adoption rate in the near future. Looking ahead, 's lack of supply chain infrastructure to produce more batteries for electric vehicles on the road may slow down such efforts in the UK and beyond. lacks supply chain transparency has become one of the important issues that global electric vehicle manufacturers need to solve.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote on social media on January 17th: " battery production is a limiter that slows the fundamental rate of a sustainable energy future."
Doren Myersdorf, CEO ofStoreDot, told the Guardian: "The number one obstacle to electric vehicles is no longer a cost issue, but a mileage anxiety." You are either afraid of getting stuck on the highway To live, you either need to sit at the charging station for two hours. However, if the (electric car) driver's experience is exactly the same as that of the gas (gas car), then the whole anxiety is gone. "_P1p
It is certain that innovation is rapidly emerging . Just last week, the Israeli company StoreDot announced the successful production of the first ever lithium-ion battery that can be fully charged within five minutes. This innovation may be A breakthrough that makes the charging cycle of electric vehicles comparable to the refueling time of gasoline or diesel vehicles.
In the United States, according to COX's 6 major changes in the automotive market in 2021, also mentioned 54% of consumption. And 63% of dealers believe that emerging electric vehicle companies will take the stage to compete with Tesla, while nearly half of consumers and dealers believe that existing OEMs will sell more electric vehicles than Tesla_ strong8strong:
DriveElectric uses its model based on the British market intelligence to predict the growth trend of battery electric vehicles.The reasons for the substantial increase in the number of EVs include:
sales of new gasoline and diesel vehicles will end in 2030 (UK), sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles will end in 2035, which has already attracted attention Focus on electric vehicles;
financial incentives for battery electric vehicles will continue to exist;
Volkswagen Group and Mercedes-Benz will bring more electric vehicles to the market in 2021, and The production of is based on the new EV dedicated platform ;
Based on the popularity of the brand, Tesla will continue to sell a large number of electric vehicles, but may be subject to supply restrictions until it is located in Berlin and Texas The new factory in Austin, California starts production; when this happens, Tesla can equal BMW and Mercedes as the annual sales of 100, 0 luxury brands in the UK very quickly.
Jaguar Land Rover may have challenges because there are no lower-priced EV models for sale; in difficult economic times, the selling price of £70,000 is difficult to promote sales;
people are increasingly aware of climate change and local air quality For strong8strong challenges, EV helps provide solutions in these two areas.
On January 27, the European Union has approved a plan to subsidize the battery industry for electric vehicles, , which provides state assistance to companies in the battery supply chain, and aims to establish a long-term expertise in the battery industry and local production . The project will cover the entire battery value chain, including the extraction of raw materials, the design and manufacture of batteries and battery packs, and recycling and disposal in a circular economy, with a focus on sustainability. It is expected to promote the development of new technological breakthroughs. , Including different battery chemistries and new production processes,And other innovations in battery connection.
42 countries including BMW and Tesla have signed . Direct participants will work closely with more than 150 external partners such as universities, research institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe through nearly 300 cooperations envisaged. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2018 (the timetable for each sub-project is different).
In the past decade, the global electric vehicle market has achieved a huge leap. " 2021 is the year of electric vehicles. "Former President Aston Martin and former COO of Nissan, Andy Palmer defined 2021 in this way in a recent S&P interview.
According to statistics from IHS Markit, the global sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and other electric vehicles are expected to increase by about 70% in 2021, of which China and Europe will account for the largest market share, and China will account for about 44% , Europe will account for nearly 28%; relatively lagging behind are North America, accounting for 16%, and Japan/Korea combined accounting for 11%.
IHS Markit predicts that by in 2025, global sales of electric vehicles will exceed 12.2 million, an annual growth rate of nearly 52%. IHS Markit Chief Research Analyst Abby Chuntu predicts: "In 2025, China's BEV production is expected to reach 4.8 million units, with a market share of 17%, while the output of plug-in hybrid vehicles is expected to reach 1.6 million units. , The market share will reach 6%. "
Looking forward to 2030, BNEF predicts that nearly 26 million electric vehicles will be sold worldwide each year. Former Nissan Chief Operating Officer Palmer (Palmer) said he believes that by 2030, the global automotive industry will consist of 35% to 40% of battery technology cars. Compared with the 2010 sales close to zero,By 2040 , electric vehicle sales will rise to nearly 60% of the global automotive market. With the increase in consumer awareness and market power, electric vehicles are rapidly becoming the future of the automotive industry, becoming the darling of investors who recognize this growth potential.
From this point of view, starting from 2021, the global development of electric vehicles will continue to show a rapid trend. In the process, purchase subsidies and improved battery technology are increasing the attractiveness of electric vehicles, and at the same time, similar to the EU’s new emissions Standards (the carbon dioxide emissions of passenger cars will not exceed 95 grams by 2021) and future stricter and more popular emission standards will also further increase the sales of electric vehicles.
At present, the global epidemic is still repeating, and the impact of the epidemic on the entire economy, especially on the automobile distribution market, is also changing dynamically. Secretary-General Song Tao hopes that everyone will continue to work hard while protecting their health and strive for energy in 2021. Have their respective satisfactory endings. The China Automobile Dealers Association is also willing to continue to play its role as a bridge and link, actively representing the voices of investors and dealers, and jointly contributing to the further development of China's automobile dealership.
