Electric Car Sales Growth in the Market 

After a sudden sales increase in the EV market, some buyers are still wondering what can be the reason for the sales growth. Not only one or two, but there are various reasons which have contributed to the electric car sales growth, and they are listed below:

Advanced technology: With the time, EV manufacturers learned and improved their techniques. The recently improved features in Electric cars are, ultra fast charging, solid state batteries, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) bi-direction charging to power homes, AI for autonomous driving and optimized battery. Not only this, but the manufacturers have introduced many other features and are still working to make it better. These advanced technologies have attracted buyers and have contributed to an increase in electric car sales. 

Increase in petrol and diesel prices: There is a drastic increase in the prices of the petrol and diesel which has affected the buyers. People are looking for alternatives and are shifting towards EVs. Electric cars are cheaper to run than buying petrol or diesel, as their prices are increasing day-by-day. The EVs are not only cheaper to charge but offer more advanced features as compared to petrol or diesel cars. 

Lower Battery Costs: The price of the EV batteries has significantly dropped but the features of the battery have increased. Improved features of the EV battery include longer driving range, strong safety, lifetime warranty, faster charging, better thermal management, and more. The manufacturers are opting for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries instead of Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) which costs lower.

Expanded battery charging networks: Earlier battery charging networks were lesser as compared to now. As the tier-2 and tier-3 cities are also adopting the EVs, the battery charging networks are also expanding. Charging stations are now available at various places like, shopping malls, highways, fuel stations, hotels, office complexes, residential societies, and many other suitable places. 

Wider Product Availability: Unlike a few years ago, buyers now have electric vehicle options across almost every price segment. Customers can choose from affordable hatchbacks, compact SUVs, premium SUVs, luxury sedans, performance EVs, and more. This wider selection has encouraged more buyers to consider switching to electric vehicles.
