Report available now at new, lower price! Please note: in the fast-moving world of electric vehicles, the companies involved in vehicles and batteries are announcing new initiatives and developments almost every day. Therefore we have dropped the reviews of vehicle and battery manufacturers as originally published.

This latest report from Trend Tracker offers an unrivalled study of the electric vehicle market, including an in-depth review of EV technologies, and forecasts of the global development and uptake of electric vehicles.

Five user licence PDF electronic version - £445 + VAT

Trend Tracker's critical survey of the activity aiming at the rebirth of the electric vehicle, a species previously thought to have been nigh-extinct since batteries lost out to gasoline in the early years of the last century, was published on 8 February 2011.

This report provides a uniquely broad view of the technology, energy demand, infrastructure and fiscal challenges that face OEMs, governments, investors, environmental lobbies and citizens at large, as the auto industry and its new allies attempt to de-carbonise private transport and respond effectively to the implications of 'peak oil'.

The report is based on three years of tracking developments in the EV and automotive sectors, research which started before any mainstream manufacturer announced EV launch plans. This research was founded on lead author Toby Procter's belief that the prospect of energy scarcity poses greater risks to mobility and the industries that supply it than investors or other 'stakeholders' wish to contemplate.

No mere technology update, EVs: Energy, Infrastructure and Mobility in the Real World offers uncomfortable facts, figures and advice based on a mass of technology, energy and resources data. It's designed to help investors, politicians, environmentalists and senior executives in the automotive and power utility sectors get to grips with the dynamics and challenges of what could be the most seismic transition since globalisation -from oil to electricity.

This report is not anti-EV propaganda, or the product of swivel-eyed climate change deniers. It is a rigorous, commonsensical appraisal of EV technologies, and the policies that aim to bring them to market.
