Europe Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure Market Databook 2024: The UK Government Launches 'Plan for Drivers' Aimed at Driving the Adoption of Electric Vehicles - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Europe Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure Market Databook - 75+ KPIs Covering EV Market Size by Value and Volume, Vehicle Type, Price Point, Propulsion Type, Component, Location - Q2 2024 Update" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Electric vehicle adoption is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 23.5% during 2024-2028. The electric vehicle market in Europe will increase from US$90.8 billion in 2023 to reach US$268.8 billion 2028.

The slowdown in the demand for electric vehicles has resulted in firms pausing their EV battery projects in Europe. ACC, for instance, has paused the construction of its EV battery factories in Germany and Italy in Q2 2024. The slowdown has been caused by high interest rates and reduced government subsidies, leading consumers to prefer hybrids or petrol cars. The trend is expected to continue over the short term.

However, governments are pushing for higher adoption through the enhancement of charging infrastructure. The United Kingdom Government launched an ambitious Plan for Drivers aimed at driving the adoption of electric vehicles. EV battery charging startups, on the other hand, are also raising capital to expand their infrastructure across Europe in 2024. This will support the growth of the regional market over the next three to four years.

The United Kingdom Government launched an ambitious Plan for Drivers aimed at driving the adoption of electric vehicles

The government, in February 2024, launched a major initiative aimed at promoting sustainable transportation with the release of its Plan for Drivers. This extensive plan aims to support and incentivize electric vehicle (EV) adoption by offering grants for schools, financial support for local councils, and new proposals to increase the number of charging points nationwide.

The initiative has introduced a new grant that covers up to 75% of the cost of purchasing and installing charge points at eco-friendly schools. Part of the Workplace Charging Scheme and funded by the Department for Transport, this grant has been increased to €2,500 per socket from the previous €350. Eligible institutions include state-funded schools, colleges, nurseries, and academies, which can also earn revenue by offering charging infrastructure to the public.

In addition, the government is enhancing EV infrastructure through the €381 million Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund. Recently, more than €14.2 million in funding for charging projects was approved by three local authorities, from East Sussex to North Yorkshire, and two London boroughs. This investment aims to install thousands of new chargers, ensuring widespread support for EV drivers across the United Kingdom.

Stellantis and Mercedes have paused their joint EV battery factory projects in the European region

• ACC, the joint venture between carmakers Stellantis and Mercedes, paused the construction of their EV battery factories in Germany and Italy in Q2 2024. The move comes at a time when the firm is moving to lower-cost batteries due to a slowdown in the demand for electric vehicles in Europe.
• ACC has been working on the construction of a factory in Termoli, Italy, and another in Kaiserslautern, Germany, while also increasing manufacturing at its factory in France. The growth of the EV market in Europe has slowed down considerably due to high interest rates and reduced government subsidies, leading consumers to prefer hybrid or petrol cars. European manufacturers are feeling the heat from increasing exports by Chinese companies, which primarily use more affordable lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, lowering their production costs significantly.
• Stellantis, in collaboration with Chinese firm CATL, has been developing an LFP battery production plant in Europe. The firm has revealed that it will adjust its investment plans on EVs at a pace similar to the market growth in Europe. This is a clear indication that the European EV market is entering into a period of consolidation after attaining rapid growth over the last few years.

Across Europe, several new electric vehicle startups have emerged over the last few years, amid rising demand. These startups, focused on charging infrastructure, are now raising venture capital and private equity funding to expand their European network in 2024.

• Electra, the Paris-based startup, announced that the firm had raised €304 million as part of its Series B round in January 2024. The firm is planning to deploy the capital towards the expansion of its charging stations in Europe. Dutch pension fund PGGM led the Series B round, which also included participation from Bpifrance. With the Series B round, the firm had raised a total of €600 million, since its inception three years ago.
• Fastned, the Amsterdam-based startup, also revealed that the firm had raised €24 million in February 2024. Fastned is also planning to use the capital to further grow its charging infrastructure in Europe. At present, the startup offers 280 fast-charging stations across different European markets, including the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France. The firm provides subscription as well as pay-on-the-go services in these markets.
• Powerdot, another EV charging startup, announced that the firm had raised €100 million in a funding round led by Antin Infrastructure Partners and Arie Group in February 2024. Alongside the expansion of its charging network, the firm also plans to use the capital infusion for developing new technologies and forging strategic partnerships throughout Europe in 2024.
