Technological advancements in EV batteries are propelling the alternative fuel vehicles market by improving battery performance, enhancing range, and reducing charging times. For instance, in June 2023, Toyota introduced an advanced EV battery technology, emphasizing a hybrid approach with Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs).
Alternative fuel vehicles, particularly electric vehicles, often have higher purchase prices than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. This cost disparity inhibits mass adoption as consumers face initial investment barriers despite potential long-term savings. Lowering upfront costs through incentives, subsidies, or technological advancements remains crucial in driving widespread AFV adoption.
