Bloomberg NEF publishes Electric Vehicle Outlook 2019

Bloomberg NEF has published its Electric Vehicle Outlook, an annual long-term forecast of how electrification and shared mobility will impact road transport from now to 2040.

This year’s Outlook shows a slight reduction in their prediction for global EV sales by 2040 due to infrastructure issues and the growth of the shared mobility market.

The report draws on a team of specialists from around the world and looks at how these trends will affect electricity demand, oil use and demand for battery materials.

This year’s forecast includes new analysis on how shared mobility will impact vehicle sales patterns, on the long-term demand for freight, and on how electrification will play out in the commercial vehicle market. This includes light, medium and heavy-duty trucks in urban, regional and long-haul duty cycles. It also covers other alternative drivetrains like natural gas and hydrogen fuel cells.

An excerpt of the findings is available in a free public summary.
