Market driver: decreasing cost of EV battery

The EV battery is one of the prime factors which determines the adoption of electric two-wheelers. The battery technology used in an EV plays a crucial role, as the mile range of the vehicle and the time taken by the vehicle to charge completely is dependent on the battery. In addition, the battery accounts for more than 25% of the total cost of an electric two-wheeler, which in turn, affects the profitability of OEMs and adoption by consumers.

According to Amey Vikram, a lead analyst at Technavio for automotive manufacturing research, "The evolution of an EV battery from the traditional lead-acid battery to the lithium-ion battery has resulted in the emergence of a battery that is eight times more powerful than the original. Moreover, the cost of the lithium-ion EV batteries has been declining since 2010. These factors have helped in reducing the price gap in comparison to conventional two-wheelers offering the same performance, which has resulted in increased adoption of electric two-wheelers."

Market trend: increasing popularity of electric off-road motorcycles

Significant investments have been made toward the development of lighter high-performance electric motorcycles that have a greater drive range, and the investments are expected to grow further during the forecast period. With the growing demand for electric vehicles, the cost of Li-ion batteries and powertrain components is expected to reduce significantly during the forecast period. This would help in reducing the overall production cost of high-performance electric motorcycles, making them more affordable and consequently increasing the prospective consumer base for the electric two-wheelers market.

Market challenge: high manufacturing cost

Electric two-wheelers are costly compared to conventional ICE two-wheelers. However, manufacturers are planning to increase the production of electric two-wheelers by implementing the concept of economies of scale to reduce manufacturing costs. They are also trying to improve the battery technology to reduce the overall cost of electric two-wheelers. These cost benefits experienced by the electric two-wheeler manufacturers will be eventually transferred to consumers.
