ROME – According to the well-known research company Fuji Keizai, within the next 15 years there will be an 11-fold increase in the global demand for electric vehicles, in response to national policies aimed at eliminating co2 emissions by 2050.
The trend, according to scholars, would have the effect of “outclassing the demand for hybrids, becoming the main segment among battery-powered cars as early as next year, with a potential market estimated at over 24 million cars worldwide by 2035, compared to 13.59 million petrol-electric hybrids and 11.42 million plug-in hybrids “.
This will be possible, continues fuji keizai in his report, “thanks to the constant decrease in prices and the availability of new technologies and increasingly efficient infrastructures”.
Among the recently announced business plans that are placed on both of this trend, toyota motor corp. Just last week it announced investments of 1.5 trillion yen (12 billion euros) by 2030 for the development of the latest generation batteries for electric vehicles.
