Research and Markets: Strategic Technology and Market Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Europe ...

Press Release Source: Research and Markets On Wednesday June 1, 2011, 7:18 am EDT

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dc17d9/strategic_technolo) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Strategic Technology and Market Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Europe" to their offering.

Prospect of Over 2 Million Public Charging Points by 2017 Bode Well for European EV Charging Infrastructure Market

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant attention over the last few years from various European governments as they look to promote the deployment of EV charging infrastructure. There are strong indicators that the EV market will take off in an unprecedented way - over 2 million public charging points are anticipated by 2017 in Europe with 3 per cent of this being accounted for by DC-DC rapid and inductive charging concepts. The market is poised to grow from less than 10,000 public charging points in 2010 to close to 2 million public charging points by 2017. This will largely be motivated by local government initiatives, including several incentives, aimed at boosting the expansion of public charging infrastructure for EVs. European governments are expected to budget about 700 million over the next seven years for charging stations, notes the analyst of this research. This will be one of the main drivers behind the exponential growth in public charging infrastructure for EVs. The approximate investment over the next seven years is likely to be about 5 billion for building EV infrastructure in Europe in relation to charging. The ratio of the number of cars to charging stations in Europe stands currently at 2.5, dropping to 1.8 by 2017.

The rate of growth of public charging infrastructure in Europe is very high, principally due to local government initiatives in different countries. Local governments are granting customers a variety of incentives to purchase an EV, remarks the analyst. Such incentives include discounts on the purchase price, tax reduction or exemption, and other advantages such as no congestion charge, free parking, and use of exclusive lanes, among others. There are many other initiatives such as initiating infrastructure deployment, which can be financed by governments. For instance, the French Government has allocated 400 million for infrastructure. Other approaches include playing a role as a partner in different projects, such as the Portuguese Government partnering with Renault-Nissan. Providing funding to private projects for infrastructure installation is another method being adopted by governments to encourage EV adoption.

DC- DC Fast Charging to Show Way Forward

Slow charging is the most widely available option at present. This method requires six to eight hours for a vehicle to fully charge (80 per cent) and represents an infrastructure problem. Manufacturing and installation of a single charging station can be as high as 6,000, implying the need for sizeable investments to equip an entire city with charging stations, states the analyst. Moreover, 6 to 8 hours of slow charging means more charging stations are required to ensure availability at all times.

Fast charging will help resolve this issue. However, at the moment, this method is expensive and not widely available. In addition, it is presumed not to be entirely safe for users to handle. The adoption of concepts such as DC-DC fast charging is critical to ensure the dramatic decrease of charging duration, concludes the analyst. A DC-DC charging station may eventually produce its own energy supply from renewable sources, offering an added advantage.

Research and Markets: Electric Vehicle Traction Batteries 2011-2021

March 16, 2011 06:12 PM?Eastern Daylight Time?

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/642519/electric_vehicle_t) has announced the addition of the "Electric Vehicle Traction Batteries 2011-2021" report to their offering.

This comprehensive report has detailed assessments and forecasts for all the sectors using and likely to use traction batteries. There are chapters on heavy industrial, light industrial/commercial, mobility for the disabled, two wheel and allied, pure electric cars, hybrid cars, golf cars, military, marine and other. The profusion of pictures, diagrams and tables pulls the subject together to give an independent view of the future ten years. Unit sales, unit prices and total market value are forecast for each sector for 2011-2021. The replacement market is quantified and ten year technology trends by sector are in there too, with a view on winning and losing technologies and companies. This is the essential reference book for those who are anywhere in the hybrid and pure electric vehicle value chain. Those making materials, cells, battery sets or vehicles, researchers, legislators and market analysts will find it invaluable.

The whole picture With vehicle traction batteries it is important to look at the whole picture and this report does it for the first time. The rapidly growing market for traction batteries will exceed $55 billion in only ten years. However that spans battery sets up to $500,000 each with great sophistication needed for military, marine and solar aircraft use. Huge numbers of low cost batteries are being used for e-bikes but even here several new technologies are appearing. The largest replacement market is for e-bikes today and the value market for replacement batteries will not be dominated by cars when these batteries last the life of the car - something likely to happen within ten years. The trends are therefore complex and that is why IDTechEx has analysed them with great care. Vehicle manufacturers are often employing new battery technology first in their forklifts or e-bikes, not cars, yet there is huge progress with car batteries as well - indeed oversupply is probable in this sector at some stage. The mix is changing too. The second largest volume of electric vehicles being made in 2010 is mobility aids for the disabled but in ten years time it will be hybrid cars. The market for car traction batteries will be larger than the others but there will only be room for six or so winners in car batteries and other suppliers and users will need to dominate their own niches to achieve enduring growth and profits. Strategy must be decided now. In this report, researched in 2010 and frequently updated, we analyse the successes, the needs, the statistics and the market potential for traction batteries for all the major applications. This has never been done before. It is important to look at the whole picture because traction battery manufacturers typically sell horizontally across many applications and electric vehicle manufacturers increasingly make versions for many applications - heavy industrial, on road, leisure and so on. Indeed, the smarter putative suppliers will choose the sectors that best leverage their strengths rather than join the herd and be obliterated by corporations of up to $100 billion in size enjoying prodigious government support.
