What impact will new EV charging and battery innovations have on EV uptake?
SBD Automotive
We inspire automotive innovation through independent research, evaluation and strategic consulting services.
With many OEMs offering at least one all-electric option in their vehicle line-ups, and while adoption rates continue to increase rapidly, EVs are now becoming a more integral part of the global automotive landscape. In anticipation of oncoming government emissions targets designed to accelerate EV uptake, OEMs are now beginning to shift their attention towards two key areas of the EV lifecycle – battery technologies and charging infrastructure.
Some are already investigating new battery innovations, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and solid-state batteries, while others are striking new partnerships with charge point operators (CPOs), energy providers, food and beverage companies and more to advance their public and private charging solutions. With these technologies already playing key roles across the EV lifecycle, OEMs looking to elevate the customer experience of their own EVs must be equipped with strategies that recognize their significance and deliver continuous innovation.
In this article, we will be taking a deep dive into two of our recently updated research reports that offer deep, expert insights into both of these technologies - our EV Charging & Infrastructure Guide, and the EV Battery Technologies & Ecosystem report. While outlining the contents of both reports, and highlighting the key benefits of each one, we will also explore the new features provided in their 2024 editions.
217 - EV Charging & Infrastructure Guide
As EV adoption rates continue to grow, OEMs are extending the scope and scale of their EV line-ups while governments roll out more incentives to entice consumers looking to switch to an EV. Today, these movements are now impacting the commercial sector, where fleet managers and service operators are making the switch, leading to a renewed interest in the build-up of EV charging networks. However, the ecosystem surrounding these networks and EV charging infrastructure is growing rapidly, becoming more complex in the process.
Throughout our EV Charging & Infrastructure Guide, our experts break down the vast landscape of EV charging infrastructure to track its footprint and highlight its growth in a number of regions. A deep dive into this landscape profiles the OEMs innovating within it and identifies the business models they are utilizing to deliver this innovation. Through this exploration, the report also understands the levels, complexity, and maturity of EV charging infrastructure operating across various regions.
For 2024, the U.S. and EU versions of the report include access to our all-new, web-based, EV Charging Analysis Platform that helps enhance decision making around charger availability. Also new for 2024 is a LATAM & APAC edition, which covers the development of charging infrastructure in key countries across both regions, such as Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Thailand, and Taiwan.

219 - EV Battery Technologies & Ecosystem
With EVs now proliferating at a global level, automakers are working rapidly to improve the efficiency, range, and bottom-line of their next-generation solutions. The common denominator of these improvements is the vehicle battery, which today is at the center of an expansive, ever-evolving ecosystem comprised of enabling technologies, key players, surrounding infrastructure, and more. As this ecosystem continues to expand, with the introduction of new players and the rollout of new technologies, systems, and partnerships, keeping track of its latest and most important updates can feel overwhelming.
In this report, we profile the key players and technologies accelerating EV battery innovation and highlight the key factors enabling this innovation at each step of the battery lifecycle. While breaking down complex, critical, battery technologies, it provides deep insights into the potential battery industry conditions of the future, evaluates the effectiveness of many OEM battery strategies, and explores the recent trend of battery recycling and reuse. The report’s analysis of this ecosystem similarly profiles the existing and emerging suppliers and start-ups partnering with OEMs today.
This year’s edition of the EV Battery Technologies & Ecosystem report brings a number of exciting new features and updates, including an all-new V2G ranking, a new ‘Ecosystem’ chapter with offering, acquisition, and patent insights for key non-OEM stakeholders, and a new Future Outlook chapter highlighting motivations such as increased EV range alongside their drivers and barriers over time. The report’s data-driven Excel version has likewise been updated for 2024 with fresh data and enhanced insights into the current landscape for EV battery technologies.
