Pike Research updates xEV forecasts; projects Ford to lead US PEV market, followed by GM

Green Car Congress

Pike Research has published an update to its earlier forecasts on xEVs: hybrid (HEVs); plug-in hybrid (PHEVs); and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As a result of new assumptions, Pike Research has slightly reduced its forecasts for plug-in vehicles (PEVs: PHEVs and BEVs combined) from past forecasts.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecasts plug-in electric vehicles could account for up to 9% of US auto sales in 2020 and 22% in 2030

Green Car Congress

However, achieving such growth level will be dependent on two key factors: aggressive reductions in battery costs and rising gasoline prices. The BNEF forecast is based on first identifying the addressable market for plug-in vehicles—i.e., million passenger vehicles forecasted to be sold worldwide by that year.
