Asia Pacific Micro Electric Vehicle (EV) Market Dynamics:

Adoption of Electric Vehicles Influencing Growth Factors to the Micro Electric Vehicles:

The adoption of EVs is on the rise to growing concerns regarding the negative environmental effects of vehicular, emission supportive government initiatives to decarbonize transportation, and increasing efforts by major automotive OEMs to reduce greenhouse gas emission and transform their products line-ups into green and clean environment-friendly micro electric vehicles. The rise of zero-emission with fewer traffic problems concerns are the factors in which government policy support has led to a decline in the prices of micro electric vehicles, and electric vehicles affect the sales of micro EVs and EVs positively. In addition, factors such as the improvement of charging stations and the increasing focus on improving the range of vehicles have driven the demand for micro electric vehicles market across the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Impact of Urbanization and Road Concerns in the Countries Contributing Opportunities to the Market:

In the Asia-Pacific region, the rapid growth of urbanization and population are increasing the concern about the road infrastructure and also traffic problems increasing by 2.5% in a year. In this, the micro electric vehicles act as a most prominent player, which influences the emission of greenhouse gasses as well as also decreases the road traffic concerns in the urban areas, which efficiently promote urbanization. The increased pollution rate generated by conventional car emissions has resulted in a significant threat of global warming and other environmental issues. The automotive industry has switched toward sustainable alternatives to standard fuel vehicles as a result of growing environmental concerns, offering substantial market prospects for these vehicles.

 

Increase in the Sales of Micro Electric Vehicles and Government Support Influence the Market Growth in Asia-Pacific;

According to International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), in August 2022, the Chinese electric vehicle market share was high 2019, and also continues its sales have immensely increased to around 4.35% during the first half of 2022. This change has occurred due to the rise in the purchase of micro electric vehicles in China. Simultaneously, electric vehicle sales targets for manufacturers were easier, and strong fiscal incentives, such as license plates and registration privileges for electric vehicles, continue to be in place in China.

 

Following the outbreak, the Chinese government announced that conventional combustion engine vehicles would be phased out by 2035, with a number of plans in place to reach this goal. For example, the government of Guangzhou announced a $1,542 incentive for new energy vehicles purchased between March and December 2023. The government has pledged to increase funding for charging infrastructure. In 2023, the State Grid planned to construct 78,500 charging stations at the cost of $445 million on average. The Chinese government's plans and targets are projected to help the Micro EV market grow in the next years.

 

With increasing concerns about environmental pollution and road safety & infrastructure, the government of India has preponed the implementation of the next stage of emission standards, Bharat Stage 6, to April 1, 2021, which was originally planned to be implemented in 2024. To reduce pollution in the country, the government is implementing a number of methods. FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Micro Electric Vehicles) is one such method. The government has opted to play a vital role in fostering demand and acceptance for Micro Electric Vehicles, as well as collaborative R&D activities and the development of the necessary infrastructure.
