What This Category Covers

Battery demand across vehicle and mobility application markets

 

EV & Commercial Vehicle Applications
Passenger EV, commercial EV trucks and buses, and electric two-wheelers — the three vehicle segments that together account for over USD 178 Bn in battery demand in 2025. Separate titles for each segment allow OEMs and battery suppliers to track chemistry selection, pack architecture, and supplier share by vehicle class.
Emerging Mobility: Aviation & Marine
eVTOL aircraft and electric marine vessels represent the two highest-CAGR application markets in the Faradex Sectors. Aviation battery energy density requirements and certification timelines, and the split between harbour craft, ferries, and offshore electrification in marine — each covered with primary fieldwork from engineers working in those programmes.
Battery-as-a-Service & Subscription Models
EV battery leasing and subscription models — covering NIO Power swap, BYD and Renault Mobilize leasing programmes, and emerging commercial fleet battery-as-a-service structures. Market sizing distinguished from ownership by vehicle segment and geography.

Application market intelligence grounded in OEM disclosure data

EV battery application market sizing requires separating battery demand from vehicle sales volume — a distinction that many syndicated publishers conflate, producing battery market estimates that are effectively just EV unit volume multiplied by average pack size. Faradex builds EV battery demand from energy per vehicle (kWh), not units, using disclosed pack specifications from Tesla, BYD, Volkswagen, Stellantis, and Hyundai annual reports and SEC or equivalent filings.

Aviation and marine application markets are at earlier commercial stages and require primary fieldwork rather than public financial disclosure as the primary sizing basis. Faradex panels for these segments include engineers working at Joby Aviation, Wisk, Lilium, Eviation, and electric ferry operators in Norway and Southeast Asia — not general aerospace or maritime analysts.

The Q1 2026 Strait of Hormuz disruption has material implications for battery demand in marine applications: LNG-powered vessels exposed to Hormuz supply disruption represent a conversion opportunity for battery-hybrid and full-electric propulsion. This context is incorporated in the Marine and Maritime Battery title.

Read our methodology
EV battery demand built from kWh, not units
Pack capacity specifications from OEM filings used to convert vehicle sales projections into battery demand in GWh — distinguishing short-range packs (40–60 kWh), standard-range (60–90 kWh), and long-range (90–120+ kWh) rather than using an undifferentiated average.
Vehicle segment boundaries explicitly defined
Passenger EV, commercial EV, and two-wheeler markets use explicit boundary definitions — a light commercial vehicle under 3.5 tonnes is in the commercial EV title, not passenger EV. Overlap between segments is documented and eliminated rather than hidden.
Aviation certification timelines from primary sources
eVTOL battery market sizing is anchored to FAA and EASA type certification programme timelines for Joby, Archer, and Wisk — not to company-issued production forecasts that consistently overstate near-term volume.
Leasing and subscription markets separated from ownership
EV battery leasing market is sized only for battery assets where ownership is genuinely separated from the vehicle — NIO Power, BYD leasing, Renault Mobilize — excluding manufacturer warranty programmes that are sometimes classified as BaaS.
Analyst Perspective

Sector commentary from primary fieldwork

MK
Markus Kellner
Senior Analyst — Cell Chemistry & Gigafactory Economics
"The passenger EV battery market is large enough that a one percentage point shift in average pack size — driven by OEM range strategy decisions — changes total GWh demand by more than the entire aviation battery market. That is why we size EV battery demand from pack capacity specifications anchored to OEM disclosures rather than from vehicle unit sales projections. The precision matters for anyone with upstream supply chain exposure to the EV battery market."

Shreya Venkat
Senior Analyst — Advanced Materials & Battery Recycling
"Aviation battery markets are unique in that the certification pathway determines the commercial timeline more than the technology readiness level does. Joby Aviation has demonstrated the cell chemistry and energy density required for its mission profile. What it has not completed is FAA Part 135 certification, which is a regulatory process, not a technical one. Our aviation battery market sizing treats certification milestone risk as the primary uncertainty, not cell performance — which is why our 2026–2028 volume projections are substantially more conservative than company-issued forecasts."
