Electric Scooter and Battery Market Trends

• 
  

  Rising Demand for EVs is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for electric scooters and battery is being driven by the increasing cost of petroleum products is one of the significant factors driving the electric scooter and battery market growth. The growing cost of gasoline is already impacting consumers in emerging markets. Electric two-wheelers will significantly lower the running costs of these vehicles owing to being more fuel-efficient than conventional two-wheelers. With a longer range than the existing generation of e-two wheelers, this scooter is expected to be developed by manufacturers. Maintenance will not be a problem as there are more irregular moving domains than on traditional two-wheelers. The most costly maintenance is changing the battery, which is rarely done.

Additionally, the increasing adoption of these scooters across the globe is boosting market growth owing to their advantages, such as low noise levels, low maintenance prices, and high mechanical efficiency. Governments also offer monetary and non-monetary incentives, which result in significant market growth. Customers are more intended about the environmental impact of conventional methods of transportation and are moving to electric scooters.

The market players are innovating innovations in battery technology to propel market growth. For instance, in October 2021, Mahle Powertrain and UK-based Allotrope Energy launched, in partnership, a new battery technology that can revolutionize EV charging. It is lithium-carbon technology; it offers ultra-fast recharging with good power density. It would suit a wide range of electric scooters, including e-scooters. Lithium-carbon technology has been developed by combining the benefits of supercapacitors and traditional lithium-ion batteries. The final development is a battery cell that can quickly recharge and retain good energy density. It is also durable at high temperatures and, thus, allows high current delivery and fast recharging. Developments like these are anticipated to drive the electric scooter and battery market revenue.

Increasing production and sales of electric scooters and bikes across developing nations such as China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, where consumers use many two-wheelers, fuels the market growth. Developing nations are witnessing a significantly high rate of adoption of electric scooters than electric bikes and motorcycles, which accounted for around 70% of total electric motorcycle and scooter sales in 2020. This rise in adoption increases the use of electric batteries in the scooter and further drives the market. Moreover, rising fuel prices and awareness about a reduction in the utilization of fossil fuels across the globe is also propelling the adoption of electric scooter and battery.

Electric Scooter and Battery Industry Developments

April 2024: Greaves Electric Mobility's two-wheeler brand Ampere has introduced its first luxury electric scooter, which is called the Ampere Nexus. The Ampere Nexus is priced at introductory pricing that range from Rs 1.10 lakh to Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Zanskar Aqua, Lunar White, Indian Red, and Steel Grey are the four colors that are available for the Nexus, which is not eligible for government subsidies under the Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS). The Nexus is offered in two variants: the standard EX, which costs Rs 1.10 lakh, and the top-spec ST, which costs Rs 1.20 lakh. As soon as the initial deal is no longer available, these costs will increase by Rs 10,000.

The Nexus, which was introduced by the Ampere NXG concept, is the most feature-packed Ampere e-scooter to date. It is also much more equipped than the Primus, which it essentially replaces in the lineup of products it basically replaces. According to the business, reservations for the Nexus are currently being accepted, and the company has confirmed that the delivery of the scooter will start in the second part of May.

Despite the fact that it keeps certain design and style elements from the NXG, the Nexus does not have some of the showfloor details that were included in the idea. For example, the swing arm that was only on one side has been replaced with a swing arm that is more traditional. A telescopic fork and twin rear shock absorbers are two of the features that are included on the Nexus, which adheres to the tried-and-true formula of an electric scooter designed for families.

Additionally, the form factor is not too unlike to that of previous Ampere scooters. The seat of the scooter is 712 millimeters in length, and the height of the seat is a very comfortable 765 millimeters. The illumination is entirely composed of LEDs. The scooter has a wheelbase that is 1,319 millimeters in length, and it has 235 millimeters of floorboard area in addition to 170 millimeters of ground clearance.

September 2022: NIO announced the opening of its first battery swap station in Germany in Zusmarshausen, situated along the busy A8 highway between Munich and Stuttgart. The battery swap station can perform up to 312 power conversions daily. The vehicle's electric control system, motor, and battery will all be thoroughly examined before each swap to ensure they are in working order.
