Download Report to know about the market's vendor landscape highlights with a comprehensive list of vendors and their offerings Latest Drivers & Trends of the Global Electric Vehicle Remote Diagnostics Market Market Driver: Reducing battery pack prices: For instance, a battery pack cost of USD 100 per kWh is essential for electric cars to achieve price parity. The Chevrolet Bolt EV has a 57 kWh battery pack, the cost of which can be as low as USD 10,830 (considering USD 190 per kWh battery pack cost). The lower price of EVs will allow providers of remote diagnostics services to push the adoption of advanced telematics services, as the high upfront cost of EVs acts as a barrier for customers to opt for advanced packages of telematics services. A crucial factor for the decline in Li-ion battery costs is the relocation of manufacturing bases from Japan to China. This has encouraged Chinese manufacturers to develop Li-ion batteries for EVs at prices competitive to lead-acid batteries. Such factors will drive market growth in the coming years. Market Trend: Growing popularity of remote diagnostics services in electric buses: Spurred by this, bus manufacturers and telematics service providers are developing solutions for electric buses to make them more efficient. For instance, ViriCiti is offering multiple packages for monitoring electric buses designed to suit the needs of a wide range of customers. Bus manufacturers are also developing remote diagnosis solutions to improve maintenance options. For instance, in 2018, Solaris Bus and Coach developed the eSConnect, a remote diagnostic system for electric buses to support diagnostic solutions, improve maintenance options, and facilitate the analysis of specialized data derived from its buses. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
