DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Automotive Industry Outlook, 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The prices of electric vehicle (EV) batteries are constantly declining, which is making EVs affordable, contributing to an increase in their sales. Even as EVs power their way ahead with record sales, the supporting infrastructure of the charging stations is not keeping pace. OEMs have to work with partners and government agencies to set up more charging stations and establish a universal charging standard.
