The convergence of electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence (AI) took center stage at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, showcasing how technology is reshaping the future of transportation and beyond. Hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center, this year’s event featured groundbreaking developments in EVs, AI automation, and their intersections, driving both innovation and competition in the rapidly evolving markets.
EV and AI Synergy: Shaping the Future of Transportation
The electric vehicle market is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a 6.95% annual increase through 2029, reaching a market volume of $1.084 trillion. At CES, many companies were demonstrating how AI is accelerating that growth by automating driving tasks, improving vehicle performance, and enhancing user experiences.
Elaphe, a Slovenia-based software and power electronics company, is collaborating with Italdesign to create hybrid vehicles with AI-powered features. Their collaboration has resulted in innovative technologies such as a sonic electric engine, delivering 200 kilowatts of continuous power, and smart cornering, where AI enables real-time adjustments for optimal driving performance. These advancements illustrate how AI is enhancing vehicle intelligence, making cars not only smarter but more responsive to driving conditions.
AI Extends Beyond Vehicles
AI’s impact extends beyond the vehicles themselves. Companies like John Deere are leveraging AI for autonomous agriculture machinery, aiming to improve efficiency and safety in large-scale farming. In the EV ecosystem, Blink Charging is using AI to enhance the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. With 4,000 stations nationwide, Blink is working on predictive maintenance and dynamic pricing models to meet growing consumer demand for charging solutions.
Additionally, partnerships between companies like Eaton and Tesla are also influencing the broader EV supply chain. Eaton’s collaboration focuses on home energy management, offering components that are compatible with both electric and traditional gas-powered vehicles, further integrating AI into the infrastructure that supports EV adoption.
The Growing AI Industry
AI, which exceeded $184 million in value in 2024, is set to reach $826.73 million by 2030. As AI becomes more embedded in industries like electric vehicles, testing, maintenance, and customer interactions, companies such as Keysight Technologies are exploring AI applications to optimize automotive testing and validation. For Blink Charging, AI-driven predictive maintenance is becoming a key part of its network operations, enhancing both operational efficiency and the customer experience.
CES 2025 highlighted how AI is not just transforming individual sectors but also enabling the cross-pollination of technologies, particularly in electric vehicles. As the market for both AI and EVs expands, the partnership between these technologies is set to redefine the future of transportation and energy infrastructure.
