Governments of different countries all over the world are taking various initiatives and implementing policies to popularize the sales of electric vehicles such as providing subsidies and proper infrastructural facilities as an important step toward curbing greenhouse gas emission.There is an increasing shift in public perception from disapproving electric vehicles as costly and inferior in terms of quality (such as power, efficiency, and comfort) to a more viable option for a greener transportation.OEMs are coming up with enhanced battery packages essentially batteries with higher energy density in a bid to increase the vehicle range, which would ultimately

mitigate the range anxiety issue faced by consumers.The sales of electric vehicles mainly take place through the early adopters, who

want to try out the new product or technology as soon as it comes out into the market.The market is predominant in China with the government providing subsidies to electric vehicle manufacturing OEMs, reducing purchase tax and registration tax,and setting up of charging stations.The global electric vehicles market is predominantly occupied by single-gear transmission with almost all OEMs using single-gear transmissions except BMW i8,which uses dual-gear transmission.OEMs have plans to introduce multi-gear transmission in their vehicles, and ZF and GKN have announced to introduce the multi-gear e-drivetrain transmission by the end of 2018. Other OEMs will soon follow suit to retain their market share.
