Electric Vehicle Industry Landscape in Ireland

The electric vehicle industry is booming across the world and predictably in Ireland as well. In addition to being the “in-thing”, electric vehicles have come forward as a solution to one of the looming threats on the planet today, climate change and global warming. The very many benefits of these vehicles are now reaching the ears of the wider crowd, and people are consciously making a decision to buy electric vehicles and do their bit for the environment.

In terms of numbers, the global electric vehicle market is projected to reach $802.91 billion by 2027. In 2019, the market was valued at $162.34 billion. From 2020-2027, Europe is expected witness CAGR of 25.3%. Battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) sales surpassed two million for the first time in 2019 in Ireland.
