In the inaugural edition of the Global Clean Investment Monitor series, the focus is on electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries, which have witnessed a surge in demand and mass commercialization globally. This growth can be attributed to decades of national policy support, particularly in the US, China, and Europe, propelling EVs and batteries into mainstream adoption.
China stands out as a significant player in the EV and battery market, contributing two-thirds of global EV sales growth and a substantial portion of battery manufacturing capacity expansion. However, the intense competition in China has led to significant overcapacity in battery production, raising questions about the future dynamics in the region.
Europe, as the second-largest EV market, aims to achieve zero-emission vehicle targets in the coming years. The region faces the challenge of balancing domestic production with the influx of low-cost EV imports from China, which could impact the competitiveness of European OEMs and the implementation of stringent emission policies.
Conversely, the United States’ EV transition is at a critical juncture, with policy uncertainties threatening to impede progress. While the country has made strides in establishing a competitive EV industry, the potential rollback of supportive policies and trade tensions pose challenges to sustaining growth in the sector.
As China, Europe, and the US navigate their EV landscapes, the rest of the world is witnessing a rapid rise in EV adoption, fueled by low-cost models from China. Countries outside the Big Three are ramping up investments in EV and battery manufacturing, aiming to carve a niche in the global supply chain and capitalize on the growing demand for electric mobility.
The global auto industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards electric mobility, with EVs projected to dominate sales by mid-century. While China leads the race, the US and Europe are intensifying investments to compete, while emerging markets are gearing up to capture a share of the EV market.
The full report delves into the policy and market dynamics shaping EV investments across regions and provides insights into the evolving landscape. Policymakers face crucial decisions on securing supply chains, which will influence EV affordability and adoption rates. Real-time data from the Global Clean Investment Monitor will track investments, capacity additions, sales, and trade flows to offer a comprehensive view of the evolving EV ecosystem.
Through the ClimateDeck platform, a collaboration between Rhodium Group and Breakthrough Energy, stakeholders can access greenhouse gas emissions data, energy market insights, and clean energy investment trends to stay informed about the global clean energy landscape.
As the world approaches a pivotal moment in auto manufacturing, the transition to electric mobility presents both challenges and opportunities for countries and industry players. With the right policies and investments, the global shift towards electric vehicles could reshape the future of transportation and sustainability.
