Initially, there were a variety of batteries used in electric vehicles. These include lithium ion, molten salt, zinc-air, and nickel-based designs. Hence, to increase the range of electric vehicles, the testing of battery packs is becoming more prominent, and as a result, new battery technologies have been developed to pose an ever-greater potential safety hazard with a smooth ride. For instance, in April 2021, FEV Group GmbH developed the Testbench Battery Management System (T-BMS), a standardized interface solution for testing battery modules on test benches. It featured a simple calibration system that allowed for quick test operations of different battery modules without the need for time-consuming conversion and adaptation work on the test equipment. This resulted in decreased costs of battery development for the e-mobility segment.

Increase in demand for electric vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are experiencing a rise in popularity over the past few years as the technology has matured & costs have declined, and support for clean transportation has promoted awareness, increased charging opportunities, and facilitated EV adoption. Furthermore, growing vehicle emission concerns and depletion of non-renewable energy resources have attracted the attention of several governments to invest in electric vehicles. The European countries are among the frontrunners in adopting electric mobility. According to European Environment Agency, in 2020, electric car registrations surged, accounting for 11% of newly registered passenger cars in which battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 6% of total new car registrations, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) represented 5%. Also, the production and sales of electric vehicles globally have been growing at a high rate, owing to positive regulatory environment, such as subsidies and tax exemptions for both the industry and consumers in the European and Asia-Pacific region. For instance, the federal government of Canada has announced that 10% of the new passenger cars sold in 2025 should be zero-emission in 2025, 30% by 2030 and 100% by 2040. Thus, increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the EV testing equipment market.

Advancements in battery technologies

The battery is a major component in an electric vehicle (EV). The majority of electric vehicles use a lithium-ion family battery in which positively charged lithium ions are carried by a liquid electrolyte from the anode to the cathode through a separator. New developments in battery chemistry are expected to help & increase the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries and test systems for these innovative battery packs. At present, EVs were developed using lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide cathodes as these were already in use in consumer-focused electronics, such as smartphones, in order to extend the battery life of EVs and increase their commercial viability. Also, researchers focusing on conventional lithium-ion, solid-state, advanced lithium-ion using an intermetallic anode (silicon alloy composite), and future advanced lithium-ion (lithium metal, including lithium-sulfur and lithium-cobalt) batteries with innovative designs and chemistries. Such rapid developments in battery technologies are expected to lead to the demand for new and advanced battery testing systems, thereby driving the EV test equipment market.

High cost of advanced technology equipment

Electric vehicles are advantageous over conventional vehicles; however, their cost is higher than traditional vehicles. This large price difference between internal combustion and electric vehicles has made many fleet owners skeptical about investment, as there are many unknown variables present in determining total cost of ownership of electric vehicles. As the EV test equipment industry is niche, there is a lack of standard set of regulations for manufacturing & development of advanced EV test equipment technologies. The cost associated with the testing equipment will remain high as the tool developers are less, making it costlier and thus, affecting its growth. Hence, the high cost of advanced technology equipment devices for EVs & lack of standard protocol for their development are critical factors that may hamper the EV test equipment market.

Proactive government initiatives for promotion of electric vehicles

Government programs in countries such as China, India, France, and the U.S., promote the adoption of alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles in these regions. This has led to increased penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive industry. Moreover, the emission norms implemented by national and regional government authorities are driving research in fuel-efficient technologies, which has led to the rapid increase in technological advancements in EV test equipment. This can be majorly attributed to the increased demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Moreover, in 2021, the District of Columbia offers incentives to support the deployment of EVs or alternative fuel vehicles & supporting infrastructure, either through state legislation or private utility incentives within the state. Legislative incentives include measures that provide high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane exemptions, financial incentives for purchasing electric vehicles or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), vehicle inspections or emissions test exemptions, parking incentives, and utility rates reductions. Utilities also offer incentives, rebates, and grants for transportation electrification. Hence, the proactive initiatives by government organizations for promotion of electric vehicles create market opportunities for the EV test equipment market.
