The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts the number of pure electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) on the world’s roads will hit 250 million by 2030. That is a big leap from the IEA’s 5.1 million reported for such vehicles in 2018. This growth in the plug-in vehicle market is, in turn, fueling new technologies in the adjacent renewable energy ecosystem to enable mass EV/HEV adoption. These adjacent technologies include photovoltaic (PV) inverters for energy efficiency and smart grid technologies that support a network of recharging facilities.
