Electric Bus Industry Overview
Several improvements in EV battery technology have made e-buses desirable to consumers. For instance, advancement of Li-ion batteries has made them comparatively lightweight with a long lifespan compared to conventional lead-acid and valve-regulated lead-acid batteries. The cost of batteries is also continuously decreasing owing to the implementation of economies of scale from major battery manufacturers. Another reason for the decline in the cost of Li-ion batteries is the shift of manufacturing bases from Japan to China due to a declining domestic market. This shift encourages Chinese manufacturers to develop Li-ion batteries for EVs at a competitive price. Since e-buses are powered and driven by battery-powered systems, the battery cost is one of the most critical factors contributing to the upfront cost of an e-bus. With the declining battery cost, e-buses are expected to achieve price parity with diesel buses by the mid of the next decade, and therefore the demand for e-buses is expected to rise exponentially in China which will drive the electric bus market during the forecast period.
