The combination of an electric motor with all electrical capabilities and a small onboard internal combustion engine (ICE) for extended-range capabilities is what makes up plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Unlike hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), PHEVs have a battery pack which is recharged by plugging into a standard electrical outlet. The battery pack serves as the primary source of power for relatively short distances (electric range). When this range is exceeded and the battery is depleted to a certain level, the vehicle switches to hybrid mode. In some models, this includes utilizing the energy re-captured from regenerative braking, turning off the electric motor, and allowing the ICE to take over completely. The unique advantage of plug-in hybrids is that they combine the environmentally beneficial operation of electric vehicles and the operational abilities of ICEs, as well as refueling, if necessary.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the sales of new passenger cars. Data on the specifications of the sold vehicles is based on the base models of the respective makes.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use company reports and websites, vehicle registries, car dealers, and environment agencies among other sources. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP and car stock per capita. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, we use the ARIMA model for the Passenger Cars market. The main drivers are GDP per capita and consumer spending per capita.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
