Rising support for sustainable energy policies and global environment protection has led to an exponential rise in the manufacture and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electric car sales hit a record high in 2016 with over 750 thousand registrations worldwide. However, the success of EV adoption largely hinges on the availability of better charging technology and infrastructure. Major players are, therefore, betting on innovative battery technologies and solutions to meet their EV adoption targets.
Netscribes studied the technology and patent landscape of electric vehicle charging technologies, including the assessment of the OEMs and suppliers around the world and their relevant intellectual property landscape to understand the measures being taken to improve the electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
