Key Trends
Charging Infrastructure Standards
Major charging standards, power levels, and regional adoption.
Battery Technology Trends
Key battery technology trends affecting EV component sourcing.
800V Architecture
High ImpactMost new EVs (>2023) use 800V for faster charging and reduced cable size. Requires 800V-rated connectors and cabling.
LFP Chemistry Adoption
Medium ImpactLithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries now used by Tesla, BYD, and others. Lower cost, longer cycle life, better thermal stability.
Cell-to-Pack (CTP)
High ImpactEliminating modules to increase energy density and reduce cost. Requires integrated busbar and thermal management components.
Solid-State (Next Gen)
Long-termSolid-state batteries expected in production EVs from 2026-2028. Higher energy density, faster charging, safer.
Battery Swapping
Medium Impact蔚来 (NIO) and Gogoro leading in China/Taiwan. Standardization efforts ongoing (ISO 20.19).
Global Policy Landscape
EV policies and regulations in major markets and their impact on component sourcing.
CO2 Fleet Standards
2025: 93.6g CO2/km (cars), -15% vs 2021. Fines: €95/g per vehicle over limit.
Inflation Reduction Act
$7,500 EV tax credit (income caps apply). $2.5B for charging infrastructure. Battery sourcing rules.
NEV Quota System
18% of car sales must be NEV for 2023-2025 manufacturers. Extended through 2027.
FAME III / PLI Scheme
Up to ₹15L subsidy per EV. Production Linked Incentive for local battery manufacturing.
ZEV Mandate
22% of sales must be zero-emission in 2024, rising to 100% by 2035.
