However, the low presence of EV charging stations and hydrogen fuel stations, higher costs involved in initial investments, and performance constraints could hamper the growth of the global electric vehicle market. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries had imposed a complete lockdown of more than two months, which, in turn, has impacted vehicle production. Manufacturing units around the world were shut down, and vehicle sales have taken a huge hit. However, the majority of the automakers resumed vehicle production with limited production and necessary measures. Conditions improved in the latter months, but overall EV manufacturers did not suffer much as demand for zero emission vehicles increased during the latter months of 2020. This led to an overall increase in demand for electric vehicles in the market.  Overall, there wasn't much of a loss for the electric vehicle market during the pandemic due to its increase in demand.  Countries around the world have set up targets of around 2050 to reduce vehicle emissions. They have started promoting the development and sales of EV's and related charging infrastructure."
