According to IDTechEx, electric vehicles (EVs) are a key route to reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector, however, the sustainability of materials used in EVs often comes under scrutiny, according to Dr. James Edmondson, research director at IDTechEx. IDTechEx’s report, “Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2025-2035: Technologies, Materials, Markets, and Forecasts,” predicts the need for over 160 million electric motors per year by 2035.
