UK car production grows for sixth consecutive month UK car production rose again in February, up 14.6% to 79,907 units, according to the latest figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Production of electrified vehicles (battery electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid) maintained its recent level, representing more than a third (36.3%) of all output in the month. Factories turned out a combined 29,038 units, up 6.0% on the year before, and with two thirds (67.3%) of these models built for export evidence of the need to ramp up UK battery production and electric vehicle supply chain capabilities.

Not all types of electric vehicles will have the same success in the market. “The plug-in hybrid is a transition technology that will be quickly replaced by battery-powered electric as range improves,” Mr. Lenox asserts. In terms of manufacturing, the hybrid plug-ins - built by legacy automakers like GM and Ford - consist of two systems. “You are building an internal combustion engine and an electric battery. There is no bending of the cost curve to make that cheaper than a pure EV. As range improves and the charging infrastructure improves, the logic of the plug-in hybrid goes away.” https://lnkd.in/eS59kP2h

Chinese EV Truck Makers Face Global Expansion Hurdles Despite Domestic Dominance Chinese electric truck manufacturers are leveraging their established EV supply chain advantages to dominate the nascent electric trucking sector, capturing 70% of global sales in 2023 despite electric trucks representing less than 1% of worldwide truck sales. However, this expansion faces mounting challenges from international tariffs and lingering quality perceptions, reports AFP. The strategy mirrors China’s successful approach in the passenger EV market, where companies like BYD have already surpassed Tesla in quarterly revenue. Major players including BYD and Beiqi Foton are establishing global manufacturing footprints, with assembly plants operating in strategic markets across Europe and North America to navigate […] by Haye Kesteloo #ev #BatteryTechnology #BYD #California #China #Europe #GM #Make #Nio #SEC #Semi #Tesla

Stellantis, Chinese firm CATL plan $4bn battery plant in Spain. By Valentin Bontemps with Frederique Pris in Paris - Madrid (AFP) Car giant Stellantis and Chinese manufacturer CATL said Tuesday they would build a $4.3-billion factory to make electric vehicle batteries in Spain, the latest bid to boost Europe's troubled EV drive. They said they aim to start production by the end of 2026 at the site in the northern city of Zaragoza. It "could reach up to 50 GWh capacity, subject to the evolution of the electrical market in Europe and continued support from authorities in Spain and the European Union", the companies said in a statement. The two firms signed an agreement in 2023 to produce battery parts for the manufacture of electric vehicles in Europe. CATL, which has received robust financial support from Beijing, has launched two other European factories, in Germany and Hungary. Its chief executive Robin Zeng met late on Monday with Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, ahead of the announcement of the 4.1-billion-euro deal. In a message on X, the Socialist premier thanked the presidents of the two firms for their "firm commitment" to Spain, adding he was "very pleased". During a visit to China in September, Sanchez urged the European Union to "reconsider" a plan to impose tariffs on Chinese electric cars, calling for a "compromise" between the economic powerhouses. Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo called the announcement "excellent news for industry and employment in our country". Spain has been playing a growing role in European vehicle production, assembling 1.87 million cars in 2023 -- the second-biggest producer in the continent after Germany, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. - Bumpy patch for carmakers - The announcement comes at a turbulent time in the car industry as countries seek to switch to low-carbon electric vehicles to curb the climate crisis. Sweden's financially strained electric car battery maker Northvolt last month announced the resignation of its chief executive Peter Carlsson. That came hours after the company sought bankruptcy protection in the United States. The company said in September it was slashing 1,600 jobs -- a quarter of its staff -- and suspending the expansion of its site as it struggled with strained finances and a slowdown in demand. The company had been seen as a cornerstone of European attempts to catch up with China and the United States in the production of battery cells, a crucial component of lower-emission cars. Stellantis's former chief executive Carlos Tavares also resigned on December 1, with the company signalling differences over how to save the group's slumping profits. Like other auto groups, Stellantis has blamed competition from China and the difficult transition to electric cars for much of its troubles. https://lnkd.in/dS2vcXMC

I was pleased for the opportunity to speak with Lisa Xing for her story on what low-cost EVs from Chinese automakers could mean for Canada. A complex situation for sure, but we need to ensure that we do not simply equate the sticker price of the vehicle for its ‘cost.’ We need to better understand the TRUE cost of these vehicles. - Was their production subsidized, providing them an advantage over incumbent automakers? - Can the vehicles really be produced and sold at the indicated price points or are these loss-leaders from new market entrants looking to capture market share? - What are the environmental, safety and social ‘costs’ that have gone into the production of these vehicles? That last point is crucial. Yes, we want to see Canadians transition to EVs to reduce their personal emissions, but we have to consider the total lifecycle impact of these vehicles and their constituent components. This is where Canada has a significant advantage. Canada is already home to abundant supplies of the critical minerals required to equip the clean energy transition. And we have clean energy to power their extraction, processing and production. Coupled with an already strong automotive industry, that is continuing to further develop with domestic battery and component facilities, Canada has an opportunity to be a global leader in low-carbon EV and battery production. What Canada needs now, is to focus on the extraction and processing of these critical minerals in a safe, sustainable and socially responsible manner in order to feed this burgeoning industry here, and with our largest trading partners. Certainly, there will be a cost to doing this, but let’s ensure we look beyond the window sticker to see the true cost if we don’t. https://lnkd.in/gArvVksQ

The main cost of an #electricvehicle (#EV) is its #battery. The high cost of energy-dense #batteries has meant #EVs have long been more expensive than their fossil fuel equivalents. But this could change faster than we thought. The world’s largest maker of #batteries for electric cars, China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, claims it will slash the cost of its #batteries by up to 50 per cent this year, as a price war kicks off with the second largest maker in #China, BYD subsidiary FinDreams Technology Co., Ltd. #EnergyTransition #Innovation #urbanmobility #futuremobility #electricvehicles #automotive https://lnkd.in/gPsxTbCn

The UK’s automotive sector stands at a crossroads. Its success in transitioning to BEV production could not only secure its future but also reinforce its position as a driver of economic growth, employment, and prosperity. To enable the automotive industry’s transition, significant investment and government support will be required. This includes creating a business environment that allows the scaling up of battery production, securing of supply chains, and ensuring that the workforce is equipped with the skills needed for BEV manufacturing.
