by Rechargeable tires refers to tires that can be recharged using electricity to replenish its energy for maneuvering vehicles. These tires utilize embedded electric motors and rechargeable batteries to provide power for movement. They enable electric vehicles to eliminate the need for traditional motors and transmissions. Rechargeable tires allow tires to be individually powered and provide better traction and handling. They are gaining popularity in autonomous delivery vehicles, scooters, bicycles, and personal mobility devices. The tires can be recharged through wireless induction charging systems or using charging ports.
The global rechargeable tires market is estimated to be valued at US$ 177.7 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 34% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by CoherentMI.
