Germany Electric Vehicle Battery Market

The electric vehicle battery is considered to be an integral component of an electric vehicle without which the electric vehicles cannot run because the battery provides an uninterrupted supply of power to the motor and other parts of the vehicles, hence driving the vehicle. The batteries designed for electric vehicles have certain added features when compared to the traditional ones and designed in a manner that they can provide power over a sustainable period. The batteries which are used for supplying power to the electric vehicles such as lithium-ion batteries, lead acid batteries are recyclable.

The rising government efforts and investments for the manufacturing or development of electric vehicle batteries and the continuous growth in the sales of electric vehicles in Germany are the key factors bolstering the growth of electric vehicle battery market across the country during the forecast period. The German government reserved €1bn for supporting the battery cell production in the country along with an additional €500m to support the research into the next-generation and the existing batteries for electric vehicles. Moreover, the rising technological advancements and growing research and development activities for the production of enhanced batteries for electric vehicles are also some key reasons which are fuelling the market growth of the electric vehicle battery in Germany. In addition, the inclination of manufacturers to foster home-grown battery cell production for ensuring a significant stake in the market is leading to an increase in investments for the development of batteries. The growing production of electric vehicles owing to the increasing consumer demand for efficient and increased performance vehicles is paving the way for the electric vehicle battery in the coming years. The factor which is restraining the growth of electric vehicle battery market includes the variations in the prices of raw material.

According to IEA, the electric car stock in the Germany market was about 177.07 thousand and the market share of electric cars was around 1.96% in 2018. According to a report of the Federal Motor Transport Authority, around 26,000 battery electric vehicles and approximately 131,000 hybrid electric vehicles were registered by mid- 2016. The government planned to reach a goal of one million electric vehicles on German roads; to achieve this goal, the government decided to provide subsidy to the car buyers. A buyer’s premium of 4,000 EUR is paid for the acquisition of an electric car, out of which half is paid by the government and half by the electric car manufacturers.

German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy presented an industrial plan, “Industrial Strategy 2030”. The central field of action of the strategy is to strengthen the key enabling technologies such as battery cell manufacturing, artificial intelligence and digitization.

For instance, in 2019, the German government introduced a plan to fund a research facility for offering the Germany firms to know-how to develop battery cells for the electric vehicles along with helping them to reduce the risk associated with the battery production of electric vehicles. The government also planned to compete with the Asian producers of batteries that dominate the industry.
