During the first two months of 2025, 126.0 GWh of battery capacity was deployed onto roads globally in all newly sold passenger EVs combined, 34% more than the same period last year. The Asia Pacific region expanded at a faster pace than the rest of the world (+38%) even though the region already represented…
Alongside the change in the mix of cathode chemistries towards LFP, the increasing use of prismatic cells is arguably the most pronounced trend on the global EV battery market of the last few years. Electrified vehicles powered by batteries packed with prismatic cells represented 69% of the global market on a GWh deployed basis…
Calendar 2024 was a record-breaking year for the global electric vehicle industry. In total, 865.5 GWh was added to the electric car parc, an expansion of 171.8 GWh or 25% compared to the year before. Nearly a third of all passenger EV battery capacity deployed (including plug-in and conventional hybrids) since the emergence of the…
Made-in-China EVs increase global share to 65% – Mexican EVs double GWh deployment – Germany exports 63% of domestically produced capacity EVs made in China and sold worldwide in calendar 2024 had a combined battery capacity of 557.8 GWh representing a 36% increase over 2023. The combined battery capacity hitting roads in made-in-China EVs…
Adamas Intelligence analyzes the battery specifications and battery chemistries of every unique passenger EV model-version produced and sold globally each month with historical data back to January 2004 (~3,300 model-versions). Covering more than 250 automakers in over 120 countries we assess the competitive landscapes of cell suppliers and cell chemistries, and quantify battery capacity and…
November blew past the previous monthly record for battery capacity deployed worldwide in newly sold EVs, including plug-in and conventional hybrids, with 91.0 GWh hitting roads for the first time. November came in 28% above the same month the year prior and total battery capacity deployed through the first 11 months of 2024 is already…
Through the first 10 months of 2024 global plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) registrations surged by 54% year-on-year to 5.0m units while full battery electric vehicle (BEV) and conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) sales increased 15% and 16%, respectively. That represents a much more sedate expansion for BEVs in 2024 than years prior. For comparison,…
New details emerged this week about plans by the incoming Trump administration to overhaul government support for the US electric car market and EV battery supply chain. “The transition-team plan would redirect money now flowing to building charging stations and making EVs affordable into national-defense priorities, including securing China-free supplies of batteries and the…
Stellantis and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co announced on Tuesday a 50-50 joint venture to build one of Europe’s largest electric vehicle battery factories in Spain. The €4.1 billion euros ($4.33 billion) plant with a nameplate capacity of 50 GWh will be built in Zaragoza, the country’s fifth largest city, in northeastern Spain. Production at the LFP factory…
Workers at nine Volkswagen vehicle and component plants, including the company’s EV-only facility, in Germany started two-hour strikes this week followed by another stoppage on Monday, that brought assembly lines to a halt amid warnings of domestic factory closures for the first time in the automakers’ 87-year history. Management at the world’s number two vehicle…
