Executive Summary

The history of motor vehicle manufacturing can be compared to a long and winding road which began in the second half of the 19th
century. Although the early 20th century saw the electric car accounting for about one third of road vehicles in operation in the United
States and Europe, this type of vehicle quickly became marginalized by diesel and gasoline-powered automobiles, including Ford’s
Model T. The so-called Tin Lizzy was built at such an exceptionally low cost that it became hard for electric vehicles (EVs) to compete.
The superior driving range of the internal combustion engine (ICE) used in gasoline and diesel-powered cars, coupled with a growing
number of gas stations which made refueling quick and easy, added further to the decline in the electric car’s popularity.
However, the love for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles among customers in Europe and North America still took some unexpected
turns between 1973 and 2011. During these four decades, several instances of fossil fuel shortages roiled the world’s leading
economies and affected the prices of petroleum products. Additionally, some countries began to introduce higher taxes on fuel to
incentivize ecological sustainability. Since the first United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of
the Parties was held in 1995, the rise of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has raised concerns among the United Nations member
states that greenhouse gases will increase surface temperature levels and thus lead to the destruction of the earth’s ecosystem.
Considering that the transportation sector is one of the leading producers of greenhouse gases, cutting GHG emissions from car travel
has emerged as an effective way to curb emission growth.
In light of these efforts to tackle GHG emissions, passenger electric vehicles have made a comeback: If electricity from renewable
energy sources is used to fuel them, EVs have the potential to play a vital role in the reduction of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide
emissions. This is an even more important undertaking today, as the light vehicle market has increased tremendously over the past two
decades, approaching the 100 million vehicle sales mark.
Batteries remain the electric car’s greatest vulnerability. Recharging will have to become easier, and range will have to improve. In the
end, EVs can only be environmentally benign if the industries providing the commodities used in electric vehicle batteries are able to
reduce their impact on the planet.

Improved battery technology is the key to competitiveness

While Toyota is betting big on fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), many other carmakers are focusing on battery technology. There are
two major categories of batteries holding the potential to power EVs: solid-state batteries and liquid electrolyte batteries. While solid-
state batteries for EVs have not yet reached market commercialization, the latter have been used in EVs for many decades.
In 2016, the lithium-ion batteries in some Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices caught fire and exploded. This incident shows how difficult it
is to manufacture lithium-ion batteries that are both efficient and stable. When the EV battery industry began to add nickel to their
battery cells to increase the range of electric vehicles, the inclusion of cobalt and manganese was required to prevent the battery from
losing stability by controlling how nickel and lithium ions move between the battery cell’s anode and cathode.
▪ Research into electric vehicle battery technology aims to achieve the following:
    › low costs
    › high capacity and stability
    › quick and easy recharging
▪ 50 percent of BEV manufacturing costs are powertrain-related
▪ Declining battery costs are expected to push electric vehicle sales
▪ Finding the right material mix will be key to winning the EV battery race
▪ Consumers demand higher range, lower costs, and easier access to charging infrastructure
▪ Electric vehicle energy charging demand will push electricity use in the United States – and probably across all other markets too

Range anxiety remains a
     common concern among
     those consumers who are
     hesitant to purchase an
     electric car.
     In addition to this,
     consumers are concerned
     that the electric car
     charging infrastructure in
     place today is not yet
     sufficient for widespread,
     carefree recharging.
     No matter how much the
     number of charging outlets
     has grown over the past
     decade, consumers want
     to be able to recharge
     whenever their battery is
     low – and they want to do
     it fast.

Despite being the second
     largest sales market for
     electric vehicles, the
     United States trailed most
     countries in terms of
     electric vehicle charging
     density in 2017.
     In addition to this, the
     charging outlets that do
     exist are provided by a
     number of charging
     networks using varying
     standards in terms of plug
     size and power limits.

02   Investment: The ideas leading to
     innovation
     ▪ Auto industry R&D
     ▪ EV investments
     ▪ Patents
Investments are the foundation on which the industry stands

Investments need to be made not only in the field of electric vehicle-related battery technology, but also with regards to the sufficient
provision of charging outlets. Providing the infrastructure for all the various types of electric vehicles proves to be a difficult task, after an
entire industry had focused on diesel and gasoline-propelled motor vehicles for almost a century.
The tightening of environmental regulation puts pressure on carmakers and suppliers alike to invest in emerging electric vehicle
technologies. The shift away from internal combustion engines may not come without risks, but the introduction of new technologies
offers additional opportunities for automotive suppliers and manufacturers.
While some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the motor vehicle manufacturing and parts industry started shifting their
attention towards the connected driving and mobility services realms, others have made it paramount to invest in green vehicles:
•    Globally operating traditional automakers invest most heavily in R&D activities
•    Tesla has the highest R&D intensity in the industry
•    France is the leading European nation in terms of electric vehicle-related technology

Production volumes are beginning to pick up after a slow start

Policymakers saw the opportunity to replace ICE cars with electric vehicles as soon as the effects of road transportation on air quality
became apparent. However, the CEOs of traditional carmakers, such as Volkswagen or General Motors, seemed to lack the
imagination to believe in the electric vehicle’s success for the best part of two decades. Some 16 years after Tesla’s founding, traditional
automotive manufacturers have likely turned a corner, and, along with new entrants from the Chinese mainland - including BYD, Chery,
and Hawtai - they are now hot on Tesla’s heels.
It is expected that over 30 million hybrid cars and plug-in electric vehicles will be produced by 2025, with battery electric vehicles
accounting for almost 50 percent of total production.
▪ Worldwide production volume of all-electric vehicles is expected to grow fourfold
▪ Growth is expected to be highest in the plug-in electric vehicle segments, but hybrid production will continue to rise
▪ China is predicted to remain the largest market in terms of electric vehicle production by country
▪ Additional model launches are expected to trigger consumer demand

04   Adoption: The drivers behind
     demand
     ▪ Sales
     ▪ Penetration rate
     ▪ Forecasts
Demand is affected by cost competitiveness and mobility trends

Ten years from now, plug-in electric vehicles are expected to account for close to half of all vehicle sales. It is also projected that electric
vehicle adoption will be driven by growing access to public charging infrastructure in tandem with increased vehicle model availability.
Furthermore, electric vehicles are projected to pique consumers’ interest, once the cost of ownership reaches parity with ICE vehicles;
this is predicted to happen over the course of the next two to four years.
Innovative trends in the field of mobility services such as car-sharing, ride-sharing, and ride-hailing are forecast to raise consumer
awareness and help users familiarize themselves with EV technologies.
▪ The share of ICE cars in overall light vehicle sales is forecast to fall to almost 50 percent by 2030
▪ As adoption levels pick up, the electric vehicle market is projected to gain traction
▪ Mobility service fleets are set to fuel electric vehicle demand
▪ Tesla has emerged as the market leader in battery electric vehicle sales
▪ The Model 3 has become Tesla’s best-selling model

06   Sustainability: The issues that need to
     be tackled
     ▪ Transportation-related emissions
     ▪ Renewable sources in power generation
     ▪ Materials used in batteries
Today’s electric vehicles fall short of sustainability goals

While EVs clearly have the potential to outperform ICE cars in terms of fuel-related emissions, it is not easy to ascertain if electric
vehicles are environmentally sustainable, or not. There is no denying in the fact that all motor vehicles have an impact on the
environment, though.
▪ Questions about EVs financial sustainability aside, the key factors in gauging the sustainability of EVs include the following:
     › type of energy used as a source of power
     › battery material types
▪ Although electric cars have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline or diesel-powered automobiles, a shift away from coal power will
  be necessary to soften the transportation sector’s carbon footprint
▪ To date, battery supply chain sustainability has not been achieved due to the continued unsustainable mining of key materials,
  including cobalt, lithium, and nickel
▪ The growing demand for those commodities that are used in the manufacture of electric vehicle batteries is likely to have an impact
  on spot prices

BEV - Battery electric vehicles run only on electricity, using power from a battery.
CO2 - Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
EV - BEVs, FCEVs, PHEVs, and hybrid electric vehicles.
EVSE - Electric vehicle supply equipment, or chargers, provide EVs with electricity.
FCEV - Fuel cell electric vehicles run only on electricity, using power from a fuel cell.
GHG - Greenhouse gases comprise methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor and carbon dioxide. GHG molecules absorb solar heat and
thus lead to an increase in the earth’s temperature.
Hybrid vehicles - Hybrid vehicles run mainly on gasoline or diesel, but have an electric motor as well.
ICE - Internal combustion engines create energy from burning fossil fuels such as diesel and gasoline.
MPG - Miles per gallon measure the number of miles a motorist can drive in a vehicle using one gallon.
NMC batteries - Nickel manganese cobalt batteries, also abbreviated NCM
PEV - Plug-in electric vehicles comprise PHEVs and BEVs, can be plugged in to charge from an off-board electric power source.
PHEV - Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles run mainly on electricity, but have an ICE as well.
Rechargeable batteries - In batteries, electricity is produced through the movement of electrons between anode and cathode.
Rechargeable batteries function according to the same principle, but also have the ability to be recharged.
xEV - BEVs and PHEVs
