Lithium Ion Battery is projected as the most lucrative segment

Increase in public charging infrastructure 

The electric vehicle operates for a range varying from 100 miles to 350 miles approximately on a single charge and varies with different driving styles and operating conditions. Electric vehicles require charging stations at workplaces and public destinations for covering long-distance journeys and bolstering the market acceptance. The private automotive fleet companies are installing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at various. locations for medium and heavy-duty vehicles throughout the North American region. For instance, in May 2021, Nuuve and Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners have announced a joint venture Levo Mobility LLC for accelerating fleet electrification in the United States. The joint venture will focus. on electrifying school buses and installing charging infrastructure across the nation. Government organizations across North America have increased the installation of charging infrastructure in the region. For instance, in October 2020, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL), operating under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a report citing that the number of charging stations doubled from December 2015 to December 2019. The report also mentioned that the charging stations per 100,000 people in Vermont and California were 105.3 and 64.0 in December 2015 and December 2019 respectively. The electric vehicle offers a sustainable alternative to IC engine vehicles which motivates the governments in accelerating the deployment of public charging infrastructure. The grants and incentives released by the nations situated in North America, mainly the U.S., support the growth in the installation of electric vehicle charging facilities. For instance, in March 2021, the Alternative Fuel Data Center of the Department of Energy announced that The U.S. passed the milestone of 100,000 public chargers for electric vehicles. In addition, the U.S. government announced a $15 billion investment for building 500,000 charging stations for electric vehicles across the nation. The installation of an extensive network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the region is expected to fuel the growth of the North America electric vehicle battery market over the forecast timeframe.

Battery Electric Vehicles is projected as the most lucrative segment

 

Unstable supply of raw material 

The battery manufacturers have to procure multiple raw materials for building a battery. The major raw materials essential for manufacturing automotive batteries are cobalt, lithium, and manganese. The availability of cobalt and lithium is negligible in the North American region as the majority of Cobalt is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and China. For instance, according to the data published by Cobalt Institute in 2018, 47% of global refining of cobalt took place in China. Besides cobalt, raw materials such as lithium and manganese are also scarce in North America and are largely available in Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, China, and South Africa which creates an obstacle for acquiring these raw materials for the battery manufacturers located in North American region. For instance, globally, Australia, Chile, and China were responsible for 52.9%, 21.5%, and 9.7% of the production of lithium respectively. The battery manufacturers also face challenges in the procurement of these raw materials owing to the volatility and price variations of the market of electric vehicle battery raw materials caused by the high concentration, metal oversupply, and economic slowdowns in emerging countries such as China. In addition, the trade war between the U.S. and China has also created additional barriers for procuring these raw materials by the U.S. battery manufacturers, as China is one of the largest exporters of these raw materials. The fluctuation in supply of the raw materials required for manufacturing electric vehicle batteries is a major factor expected to restrain the growth of the North America electric vehicle battery market.

Development of battery-as-a-service model 

Electric vehicle manufacturers have developed a novel battery-as-a-service business model for increasing the convenience of owning electric vehicles. The manufacturers offer battery asset management services in which the service providers rent battery services to the customer periodically. The rental plan for the battery removes a large amount of cost associated with owning an electric vehicle and facilitates the sales of electric vehicles. Several companies are setting up battery-as-a-service platforms in the region owing to the growing demands for a battery service provider in the North American electric vehicle market. For instance, in March 2021, Ample announced the commencement of testing activities of electric vehicle battery swapping stations in California. The battery swapping stations will recharge the electric vehicle in 10 minutes through its modular battery-swapping system. In addition, battery-as-a-service providers also offer battery maintenance, repair, and logistics services for electric vehicle batteries. For instance, in May 2021, Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) launched Detroit eConsulting service for planning the customers in navigating the transition towards the electric truck. The service also includes providing assistance for installing energy storage projects, charging infrastructure, solar panels, and other services. Factors such as an increase in the number of both commercial and private electric vehicles have promoted the growth in the adoption of the battery services business model by multiple companies operating in the North American region. The growing battery-as-a-service business model is forecasted to offer an opportunity for the growth of the North America electric vehicle battery market.
