About the report
The EV revolution is maturing, and the era of bold promises is giving way to one of operational precision. This year’s E40 report captures a significant realignment in the sector, highlighting a growing cohort of "ecosystem orchestrators" and deep-tech innovators who are moving beyond standalone hardware to build integrated, resilient platforms.
From established industry giants to agile startups, this edition examines global players through a UK lens, identifying those who have recalibrated their strategies for a "computer on wheels" reality. We reveal how the fastest-climbing companies are using AI not just as a feature, but as essential infrastructure to optimize charging, manage grid constraints, and extend asset life.
To reflect this rapidly shifting sector, we have fundamentally recalibrated our methodology to prioritise operational reality and software maturity. This year's risers and fallers are ranked using four evolved metrics:
- Market Execution – Ability to effectively deliver and scale solutions under real-world commercial conditions.
- Market Innovation – Originality in business models, customer engagement, and ecosystem integration.
- Technology Capability – The strength, sophistication, and interoperability of the digital and technical stack.
- Technology Impact – The measurable contribution to decarbonization, resource circularity, and infrastructure resilience.
The 2026 Futurice E40 report is the definitive list of the EV ecosystem’s next phase, including category leaders, risers and fallers, and the scoring behind the results.
