Performance requirements for the various fluids consumed in electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly different from those used in conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Besides being different from ICE vehicle fluids, the performance requirements of EV fluids may differ based on the technology used to implement electric drives. Growth of EVs will herald a new lubricants market niche focused on the lubrication needs of EVs.

Scope

  • Assessment of the current and projected EV fleet in terms of overall size, technologies used, and key OEMs
  • Analysis of fluid requirements for different EV technologies
  • Assessment of the impact of various EV technologies on EV fluid specification and demand
  • EV maintenance and fluid change practices and the resulting demand for EV fluids
  • Evaluation of fluid requirements of installed and announced fast-charging infrastructure projects
  • Identification of market opportunities and challenges
