USA: EV Recent Trends for Consumers, Automakers & Government Subsidies

🚗"Globally, electric vehicles (EVs) have been increasing steadily over the last few years. So far, there are at least 26 million EVs on the road in 2021 and the growth rate sales in 2022 have been on average rate increase like pre-pandemic. However, according to International Energy Agency (IEA), in the first quarter of 2023, the growth rate of sales has been strong (IEA, 2023); it is good news for all EVs stakeholders, this includes current and future EV buyers. So, if you’re still not convinced of buying your EV, I have done the research for you on how main stakeholders saw recent trends in EVs in the last few years, at the current and the future. These trends will be focused on: India, the USA, Canada, the UK, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia/Oceania; they will be written separately to focus on each of them. Based on this research, the EV price and charging stations are still seen as important factors in whether to buy an EV or not for most prospective buyers (Lee, 2023)." ~ Earla R. Beltran Riopel

EV Consumers Buying Trends

🚙"Currently, only 4% of Americans and at least 12% are considering buying an EV. Boomers and Gen X are likely not going to buy EVs, but millennials and Gen Z would be the current and future consumers. According to my research, location, and education are important factors that the millennials and Gen Z might purchase an EV. This includes the pros and cons, making them feel confident in their purchase. Another trend would be the difficulty of finding nearby EV charging stations, the charging time, the possibility of a power outage, performance on the fluctuation of temperature, and the cost of maintenance are factors for buyers to be hesitant not to buy EVs (Lee, 2023)." ~ Earla Riopel Nycare

🚙"Depending on your daily commute needs, an EV can be beneficial, and a worthwhile investment. For shorter commutes and the availability of charging stations, it can save you vehicle expenses costs, regular repair, and maintenance costs. However, for long-distance commuting, EVs are not advisable since there aren’t that many charging stations nearby, like gas stations. So, if you still want to take advantage of partly saving on vehicle expenses cost, you might have to consider getting a hybrid instead." ~ Earla R. Beltran Riopel

🚗"Hybrid vehicles can use both gasoline and electric charges. Thus, commuting in a longer range can be beneficial and cost savings. Recently, we rented a hybrid BMW sedan and traveled a long distance; putting in at least 800 miles on it. Since electric charging stations were mostly not available, we just used gasoline; it worked fine." Earla Riopel Nycare

🚗"AC charging is the safest and most reliable way to charge an electric vehicle at home." ~ Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla

🚙According to Satya Prakash (CTO, Apmposys.com), "Key Consideration while choosing EV chargers for your residential community:
◾ Cost-effective: AC charging is typically less expensive to install and maintain than DC fast charging, making it a more cost-effective option for residential use.

◾ Wide compatibility: AC charging is compatible with most electric vehicles on the market, making it a versatile option for residential use.

◾ Convenient: AC charging can be done overnight, allowing for a full charge in the morning and making it a more convenient option for everyday use.

◾ Energy efficient: AC charging can be done using a standard electrical outlet and is done at a lower voltage and amperage rate which is more energy efficient.

◾ Easy to install and maintain: AC charging is done using a standard electrical outlet and is easier to install and maintain than DC fast charging, making it a safer and more practical option for residential use.

◾ Smart Charging: Many AC charging stations come with smart charging options like scheduling, and monitoring; it can even be controlled through mobile apps which increases the convenience for the user.

◾ Better for the grid: AC charging allows for load balancing and demand management, it is better for the grid and reduces the strain on the electrical infrastructure.

◾ More accessible: AC charging is more widely available and accessible, and it can be installed in many more locations than DC fast charging stations."

🚗"EV Charging Networks: How the BOT Model is Driving Valuation."

🚙"The electric vehicle (EV) market is expanding rapidly, and with it, the demand for EV charging infrastructure is increasing. Building and maintaining a charging network can be a significant investment for companies and organizations, but there is a solution that is gaining traction in the industry, the BOT (build-operate-transfer) model."

🚕"The BOT model enables a company or organization to partner with a third-party provider to construct and operate a charging network. The provider finances, designs, builds, and operates the charging infrastructure, while the company or organization provides the necessary land or parking spaces for the charging stations. After a certain period, typically 5-7 years, the charging network is transferred to the company or organization. " ~ Satya Prakash (Amposys.com)

🚙How do electric vehicles work? What do they need to run efficiently and effectively? The following are helpful tips that EV owners could use to answer these questions:

📲“Scan
The charger can follow your custom business logic for your EV network when a user scans its QR code and plugs in the charging gun, through configured transactional behavior and pricing for the users.

🔋Plug-In & Charge
Configure a charger as private, public, or hybrid. Set prepaid or postpaid users within your domain. The software handles the process automatically once an authenticated user plugs in.

💳Pay
Managing transactions and related reporting is complicated when various factors like electric metering, pricing, tax rates, and user and charger configurations. Amposys simplifies this process.” ~ Amposys.com

“Successful Innovation is all about the timing of solving problems for tomorrow.” ~ Satya Prakash, Amposys.com
