Abstract

This chapter focus on the current status of battery, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles, from an electrochemical and market point of view in order to give a common understanding. It also provides an overview about the advantages and disadvantages between the different technologies, as well as a comparison towards conventional vehicles. Besides that an overview of famous OEMs of electrified vehicles with their respective markets but also their penetration strategies is shown. A comparison of all countries demonstrates that the United States leads in number of total registered electric vehicles, while Norway leads in the market share of such vehicles. The demand for electrified vehicles has grown so rapidly within the last year, that the market for the batteries going into these cars is expected to grow more than sevenfold by 2020.
