Electrification Strategies: What will the New Electrified Supply Chain Look Like?
Electrification promises massive changes for traditional ICE suppliers. What are their plans for survival and growth? Suppliers tell their stories.
What’s Next for Batteries and Charging Infrastructures?
It’s a philosophical question worthy of the chicken and egg: What needs to come first, mass sales of battery-electric vehicles or the public charging infrastructure needed to support them? Are consumers eager to buy BEVs in bigger numbers, but worried they’ll be unable to find public charging when needed and encounter long lines if they do? Or are they simply waiting for the right vehicles, with the right range and at the right price to come along before they make the leap to full electrification?
