Asia Pacific electric three-wheeler market – Analysis with Ongoing Trends & Market Revenue
The Asia Pacific electric three-wheeler market is estimated to be 156,397 units in 2021 and is projected to grow to 486,446 units by 2026, at a CAGR of 25.5% during the forecast period. The automotive industry is at the cusp of technological evolution to develop zero-emission vehicles, while electric three-wheelers for daily commuting have become the steppingstone for the same. However, before deploying these as primary usages, electric three-wheelers need to have the necessary charging infrastructure and optimum performance. Electric three-wheelers are also noise-free. They are therefore expected to be the building block for the success of emission-free vehicles of the future.
As of 2020, the Asia Pacific
electric three-wheeler market was dominated by low-speed, affordable electric
three-wheelers, having a top speed of less than 25-35 km/h. To extract more
performance out of these vehicles, a bigger battery and advanced motor
components are required, which will increase the overall price of the vehicle.
Thus, manufacturers around the region, especially from cost-sensitive markets,
have stuck to the low-performance electric three-wheelers, as they make more
sense economically.

The market for electric
three-wheelers with 3-6 kWh battery capacity is estimated to cover the largest
market share by 2026 because of the growing demand for higher battery capacity
vehicles that can be used for longer distances without energy drain of the
battery. E-rickshaws and electric autorickshaws have a battery capacity of 3–6
kWh. These batteries have higher energy density and thermal stability. They are
used in high-performance electric three-wheelers as they offer a high current
rate, optimum thermal stability, and a long lifecycle. These batteries are
preferred for long-haul as they are large enough to accommodate heavy battery
packs built with low-density cells and can offer the required range. Fewer
range-related issues, affordability, and a better value proposition in the
shared mobility space are the three core USPs of three-wheelers with battery
capacity within the range of 3–6 kWh. Industry experts claim that with more
daily rides, electric three-wheelers are more lucrative. A petrol-powered
three-wheeler has a running cost of about INR 4 per km, while the running cost
of its electric three-wheeler is around INR 0.5 per km. Affordable
three-wheelers with battery capacity within the range of 3–6 kWh are a
fast-moving segment, providing last-mile connectivity and expected to grow
further in the countries of Asia Pacific where transportation still poses a
challenge.
The 1,000–1,500 W segment by
motor power is the largest due to its extensive usage in electric
three-wheelers, as it provides a better range compared to below 1,000 W in
low-speed electric three-wheelers. Players such as Atul Auto and Piaggio have
experienced huge growth in electric three-wheelers with motor power of
1,000–1,500 W. It is estimated that electric three-wheelers with above 1,500 W
power are expected to grow at a higher rate than other segments due to their
higher energy efficiency and increasing demand for high-performance electric
three-wheeler freight carriers. Motor power is one of the important deciding
factors in this shift as synergy of motor power with the system helps run the
electric three-wheelers.

The lithium-ion segment by
battery type is projected to be the faster-growing segment in the electric
three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Established market players are
attempting to develop electric three-wheelers equipped with advanced
lithium-ion batteries. The limited lifecycle and usable capacity are likely to
shift the focus from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries and drive the electric
three-wheeler market during the forecast period. Another advantage of a
lithium-ion battery is lightweight, which helps maintain the energy-to-weight
ratio of the vehicle. Its electrodes are made of lithium and carbon. It can
store more energy per kilogram of weight compared to a lead-acid battery. High
energy density helps drivers to deal with range anxiety, and hence, this factor
is estimated to drive the lithium-ion battery segment during the forecast
period.
India is the largest market in
the region, followed by Bangladesh and the Philippines. India is the largest
market in the region due to its government policies to support the adoption of
electric three-wheelers. In August 2020, the government introduced the new
Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy, 2020, intending to increase the adoption of EVs
in the national capital region. The new policy proposed tax waivers, charging
and swapping infrastructure establishment, battery cycling ecosystem, and
creating a non-lapsable State EV Fund. In 2019, Delhi proposed open permits for
electric three-wheelers. Moreover, India already has a well-established market
for three-wheelers. This is because of the country’s high taxes on petrol,
which increases the demand for alternative fuel vehicles. The government’s new
vehicle scrappage policies will also support the growth of electric
three-wheelers, besides lowering the cost by providing subsidiaries in the
country. In 2020, the purchasers of e-carriers were eligible for a scrapping
incentive for scrapping and then registering the old ICE goods carriers
registered in Delhi. Up to ~USD 104 (INR 7,500) of the incentive shall be
reimbursed by the GNCTD for the purchase of e-carriers. Regulatory support
would play a key role in electric three-wheeler adoption. A combination of both
fiscal and non-fiscal incentives is critical in the medium term. In terms of
charging infrastructure, a mix of plug-in charging and battery swapping models
must be carefully deployed for the growth of electric three-wheelers. For
instance, in 2021, electric vehicle startup Zypp plans to set up 5,000 battery
swapping stations for three-wheelers across India over the next three years.
The last-mile delivery company, now operational in six cities, has set up 50
battery swapping stations across Delhi NCR and Jaipur.
