The report “Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2009-2019”  takes a detailed look at the market size from 2009-2019 and the government support, technology and new model launches that will get it there. It assesses work on energy harvesting in vehicles from light, heat and shock absorbers, new battery technologies, fuel cells, flywheels and other advances and clarifies which really matter. Here you can also learn which countries and companies are most impressive and why.

For 111 years, electric cars that rely only on a battery – “pure EVs” – have had a range of only 30-50 miles and the humble golf car has been the only type selling in hundreds of thousands every year. However, huge changes have been announced this year. Electric vehicles will penetrate the market rapidly to constitute 35% of the cars made in 2025 – 25% hybrids, 10% pure EV. Any motor manufacturer without a compelling line up of electric vehicles will soon be counting the costs.

Within the decade, it will be possible for some suppliers to offer hybrid cars and no price premium to conventional cars in the way that the Japanese took the Western car market by storm 20 years ago by offering excellent vehicles with most accessories thrown in free. There would then be no strong reason why anyone would want the conventional alternative.

This report gives the only detailed and up to date critical analysis of both pure and hybrid EV cars worldwide. It looks closely at the forceful new market drivers such as peak oil and government subsidies but it does not dwell on the well understood global warming debate that is also now driving things forward. Instead, it provides essential data useful to all investors, manufacturers, developers, component suppliers, marketing outlets, legislators and those planning financial support.
