The growing preference for energy-efficient vehicles is expected to drive growth in the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) battery market. Energy-efficient vehicles are automobiles designed to consume less fuel or electricity by using advanced technologies that deliver higher performance with lower environmental impact. Rising fuel prices are motivating consumers to choose vehicles that reduce long-term operating costs while meeting mobility needs. PHEV batteries support energy-efficient vehicles by allowing them to run on electricity for short distances and rely on fuel for longer trips, reducing overall energy consumption and emissions. For example, in June 2025, the UK Department for Transport reported 1,394,000 licensed zero-emission vehicles on UK roads in 2024, a 37 percent increase from 2023. This included 1,287,000 zero-emission cars, representing a 38 percent rise over the previous year. Consequently, the growing demand for energy-efficient vehicles is fueling the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle battery market.

Key players in the PHEV battery market are developing next-generation lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries to extend all-electric range and enable ultra-fast charging. Lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries are rechargeable technologies that use lithium or sodium ions as charge carriers, with lithium-ion offering high energy density and fast charging, while sodium-ion provides lower cost and better low-temperature performance. In October 2024, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, a China-based battery company, launched the Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery for PHEVs and extended-range electric vehicles. This battery provides over 400 km of pure electric range and supports 4C ultra-fast charging, delivering 280 km of range in just 10 minutes. Combining advanced lithium-ion and sodium-ion technologies, it ensures high performance in extreme cold, improved efficiency, faster charging, and longer range, addressing concerns about limited range, slow charging, and cold-weather performance in hybrid vehicles.

In October 2024, Toyota Motor Corporation, a Japan-based automobile manufacturer, acquired Primearth EV Energy Co., Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition strengthens Toyota’s battery production capabilities and supports hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric vehicles, aligning with its long-term electrification strategy. Primearth EV Energy Co., Ltd., based in Japan, provides batteries for PHEVs, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) battery is a high-capacity rechargeable battery that stores electrical energy to power the vehicle’s electric motor and can be charged externally via a home outlet or public charging station. It enables the vehicle to operate on electric power alone for short to moderate distances, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while working in combination with the internal combustion engine for extended range and improved overall efficiency.

The main types of PHEV batteries include lithium-ion, lead-acid, sodium-ion, and others. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable energy storage devices that use lithium ions as the primary charge carriers, moving between the positive and negative electrodes during charging and discharging cycles. These batteries are used across various vehicle types, including passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles, and are available in capacities of less than 10 kWh, 10-20 kWh, 20-30 kWh, and above 30 kWh. They support different charging infrastructures, such as home charging, public charging, and workplace charging.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle battery market in 2025.
