There has been a sharp growth in the sales of electric cars over the last few years, mainly because of the increasing pollution levels, the enactment of strict emission regulations and norms, reducing prices of electric car batteries, and the rising customer preference for electric cars over the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered vehicles in many countries around the world. Because of these reasons, the global electric car market is predicted to grow substantially in the coming years.
The deteriorating air quality levels in many countries, on account of the large-scale usage of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, are making the governments and regulatory authorities enact stringent regulations for controlling the emission levels. Moreover, the governments of several countries have implemented strict laws for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). For example, in order to clean the environment, the Dutch government has set a target of achieving 100% sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030.
