Stringent Government Rules and Regulations toward Vehicle Emission
The conventional fuel-powered vehicle makes use of an IC engine to generate power. In an ideal situation, the combustion system fully incinerates the gas and creates carbon dioxide and water as waste.On the other hand, the combustion system generates numerous greenhouse gases, leading to environmental pollution. On the other hand, an EV uses an electric motor powered by continuous supply of current; thus, EVs do not create any pollutants. Germany, U.S., France, and China have implemented strict government regulations and laws for vehicle emission, making it compulsory for the vehicle manufacturers to use superior technologies to combat high-emission levels in vehicles. The program launched by the CARB (California Air Resources Board) also includes guidelines for vendors to produce and supply zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). These new trends in the vehicle are fuelling the adoption of electric vehicles.
Increase in the Usage of Low-Speed Vehicles in the Towns and Cities for Small Distance Journeys is Expected to Drive the Growth of Market
Growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles, especially on the streets in towns and cities for short commutes is a prominent factor that is estimated to fuel the vehicle market over the forecast period at significant CAGR. Moreover, these vehicles can carry an adequate number of passengers together with its helpful impact on-road transportation, also, these factors are expected to drive the vehicle market over the forecast period. Worldwide, leading bodies are collaborating to reduce emission in combination with strict emission policy to stop the temperature increase causing major transportation emission. These vehicles are estimated to reduce the demand for conventional vehicles and thus, the adoption of these vehicles is anticipated to increase significantly for usage in towns and cities for small distance journeys and campus rides in factories, hospitals, universities, golf courses, colleges, residential apartments, and other applications. Thus, this factor is projected to boost the market considerably over the forecast period.
New Product Strategies by the Key Manufacturers is Anticipated to Boost the Market Growth
The prominent strategies adopted by the manufacturers in North America are supply contracts, new product developments, and expansions.

High Cost Associated with Electric Low Speed Vehicles is Expected to Hinder Growth
In the majority of countries, electric vehicles are more expensive to buy than diesel and petrol cars. As a result, quickly replacing (older) diesel and petrol cars with electric vehicles is not easy for the poorest households. Moreover, one of the key restraints of the vehicle is the limited traveling speed (range up to 40 miles in one charge) that restricts the types of roads on which they are allowed. Furthermore, vehicles have lower safety standards than passenger cars. Lack of recharge stations, particularly in underdeveloped and developing regions, coupled with its low speed that restricts its application to particular streets, these factors are anticipated to hamper the growth of during the forecast period.
Electric Low Speed Vehicle is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share
