Wing Vasiksiri, General Partner & Founder of WV Fund, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Founder Failure Stigma: They compared how failure is perceived by founders and society in Southeast Asia versus the US, focusing on Thailand and Singapore. In Thailand, failure carries a strong stigma, making it harder for failed founders to reintegrate into the ecosystem, while in the US, failure is seen as part of the entrepreneurial journey, with founders often wearing it as a badge of honor. They noted that the lack of a talent recycling system in Southeast Asia makes it riskier for founders to fail, as there are fewer opportunities for them to be absorbed back into other startups, VC firms, or incubators. In contrast, Silicon Valley provides a more robust safety net for failed founders, who are quickly reabsorbed into the ecosystem. 2. New Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra: They discussed the recent political shift in Thailand with the appointment of Paetongtarn Shinawatra as Prime Minister, replacing Srettha Thavisin. Srettha, a former business executive, was removed from office after appointing a convicted cabinet member, which violated the Thai constitution. Paetongtarn, the daughter of former pro-business Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is expected to maintain many of the previous administration's policies, including the digital wallet program, which offers financial handouts of 10,000 baht (USD 300) to 50 million citizens to stimulate economic growth. While the stock exchange of Thailand reacted positively, with a sharp rise of over 11%, the long-term fiscal impact of such handouts remains a concern, particularly with potential inflationary pressures. 3. Electric Vehicle (EV) Manufacturing: They explored Thailand's rapid adoption of electric vehicles, supported by strong government subsidies ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 baht per vehicle. In 2023, EVs accounted for nearly 10% of new car sales, and the government aims for 30% of vehicle production to be electric by 2030. This shift is largely driven by partnerships with Chinese manufacturers, positioning Thailand as a key player in the regional EV market. They contrasted this with Singapore, where the government's reliance on gas tax revenues limits its incentive to push for EV adoption, despite favorable infrastructure conditions. Indonesia was also mentioned as a key player in the EV sector, particularly due to its rich nickel reserves essential for battery production. Jeremy and Wing also discussed the rise of the cannabis industry in Thailand, the minimum wage increase, and the lack of B2B SaaS success stories in the region.

He came to America with ten thousand dollars and a dream of making it big. A few years later, he was a legitimate rock star, rocking arenas with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osborne. So why did this British rocker who achieved the height of music stardom give it all up and start an EV charging business? How did that turn into not 1 but 3 successful exits (his most recent for north of $80M to Enphase) and a fourth energy sector startup sure to find similar outcomes? Rue Phillips, a rockstar turned entrepreneur, has a story unlike any other we've told here on SunCast.Rue has always had an interest in electronics, so perhaps it's a natural that when he hung up his axe he would find a way to leverage the trade skill handed down through his family.

Based on the recent General Motors Earnings Call held on 23rd April 2024, the trajectory path of the company offers a mix of committed focus on growth and strategic investment, allowing their sustenance within the competitive Electric Vehicle (EV) market. During the call, it was evident from CEO Mary Barra's words that prudence, far from profitability alone, was the strategic mantra. She declared to investors, "We are very focused on growth and profitability, which means taking full advantage of our winning product portfolio to grow share without chasing unprofitable business." Thus, Barra outlined the company's roadmap amidst complexities of the EV market.Within the fast-paced realm of the EV market, General Motors showed a concrete strategy, underpinned by discernible resilience. Investments in infrastructure along with battery plants and manufacturing units have significantly contributed to the flexible management of EV related costs, incrementing their production capability and cost management; a nod to their readiness to adapt to changing market conditions and fortify EV profitability.In terms of production output and consequent market demands, General Motors have set a target for a 160 GWh battery capacity across five domestic plants. Not adhering strictly to this plan, the company demonstrated an ability to recalibrate their battery production capacity and investments in response to market fluctuations - a clear signal of their agile adaptability to erratic market dynamics.CEO Mary Barra put forth a strategic vision combining caution with ambition for EV production, acknowledging that, "We're never going to build -- just build products come hell or high water because the number is out there. We're always going to be responsive to the customer. But we do believe that we're going to be in that $200,000 to $300,000 range with the number of EVs that we have launching off of Ultium." This approach seems conceptually grounded in balancing growth with fiscal responsibility, steering by customer needs and market demand.Additionally, General Motors adopted a strategic tack within the EV market by assiduously pursuing cost reduction and enhancing cost-effectiveness in their product constituent materials. While certainly aiming at profitability, their wider perspective includes adaptability to rapid market transformations. This positions them comfortably within a capricious yet highly competitive industry.However, only time will tell if these strategies will fully materialize as the company navigates the uncertainties in the rapidly evolving EV market. The ability to consistently deliver on their adaptive strategies in response to anticipated market changes remains a real challenge. Consequently, while there is cautious optimism about the potential of their strategic plans, a measured view must also take their executional capacity into account. This is a public episode.

The House Ways and Means Committee released more than 700 pages of evidence on Wednesday that the committee said supported the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson said Thursday that he was “not aware of the situation” in the ministry's first public comments on the disappearance of the defense minister from public view about one month ago. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden visited members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) who are striking against General Motors (GM), Ford, and Stellantis. The president, though, failed to make mention his Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates which are partly responsible for the strike. In parts of San Francisco, unhoused Americans like Anthony, a former restaurant worker, regularly move street to street as city officials come in to clean up their encampments. New legislation introduced by San Francisco Mayor London Breed would place restrictions on those looking to receive county-funded cash assistance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us for an ‘electrifying' episode that looks at Electric Vehicle (EV) range claims. In today's show, we talk about how far an EV can truly take you versus what the manufacturers advertise. We'll take a look into the recent lawsuit slapped on Tesla by its Californian owners, claiming that the company has been falsely marketing the estimated driving ranges of its EVs. We discuss how factors like temperature and speed can significantly influence the battery life of your vehicle, hence the range.   Gabe Shenhar from Consumer Reports is lending us his expertise on the subject of actual EV range vs the claims.  An investigation into the performance testing criteria of popular EV models like Tesla Model Y, Ionic 5, VW ID4, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, revealed some unexpected results. Imagine your EV range dropping by 25% in frosty conditions and by a whopping 31% during warm temperatures! We'll decode these intriguing findings and talk about the EPA testing criteria and the reporting process followed by manufacturers.  We also will have the Race Card running through the NHRA, NASCAR, Formula One, and Indycar. In our Feature Segment, we have lineup of the five popular drag racing movies! Make sure to tune in every Saturday from 8 to 11amCT on iHeart Radio, the new In Wheel Time Car Talk app in the App Store, with a video simulcast on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and our website.---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time Car Talk any time?

It's EV News Briefly for Wednesday 12th  July. I'll be back as usual at 5pm UK time, that's Midday Eastern, for the full podcast.  Patreon supporters get the episodes as soon as they're ready AND ad free. You can be like them by clicking here. Tesla Electric is expanding into the UK market to supply electricity to households with Tesla products. The plan involves storing cheap electricity and selling it back to the grid at higher prices, aiding the transition to 100% renewable energy. Luxury EV maker Lucid Group delivered fewer Air sedans than Wall Street estimates for Q2, amid concerns about demand. Despite having a backlog of reservations, Lucid only plans to produce 10,000 to 14,000 Airs in 2023. In June 2023, electric vehicles (EVs) made up a record 26.9% market share in France, up from 19.8% the previous year. The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) for the month. Audi's Hoonitron, an all-electric Quattro tribute, will be driven by nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen at the 2023 Festival of Speed. The car's power outperforms any of the Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1) cars Kristensen has raced. Ford is set to unveil a high-performance electric Mustang Mach-E at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. A teaser suggests an off-road adventure edition, complementing Ford's ongoing work on a high-performance electric F-150 Lightning pickup. Dacia plans to reinvent its fourth-generation Sandero as an affordable electric supermini by 2027 or 2028. The company is investigating cheaper battery chemistries to maintain affordability. Fiat UK experienced a surge in inquiries about the electric Fiat 500 following the introduction of a £3000 E-Grant to encourage EV adoption. The grant was launched after the UK government withdrew similar incentives a year ago. China's New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) sales increased by 44.1% year-on-year in H1 2023, reaching nearly 3.75 million units. NEV exports also grew, with a 160% year-on-year expansion. Volkswagen (VW) is experiencing decreased demand for their electric models in Europe, with production reportedly decreasing at their Emden plant. VW produced 97,000 units from January to May but sold only 73,000. Electric car sales in Germany for Volkswagen are below targets, with some battery-electric models seeing demand drop to zero. Subsidy cuts, high inflation, and competition from other manufacturers are contributing factors. The European Parliament has approved legislation to expand EV charging and hydrogen infrastructure across the EU. By 2026, charging stations for electric cars should be available every 60 kilometers along main routes. EU member states have approved comprehensive battery market regulation, promoting a circular economy for all types of batteries. The regulation requires mandatory declarations and labels related to battery components and recycled content. A study shows a 29.5% drop in used Electric Vehicle (EV) prices following months of rising prices. Factors contributing to the price drop include Tesla's aggressive pricing cuts and a rise in supply. Amazon has introduced more than 3,000 custom electric delivery vans across the U.S., aiming to have 100,000 such vehicles on the road by 2030. Amazon plans to invest over 1 billion euros over the next five years to decarbonize and electrify its European transportation network. Several electric vehicles now support 800-volt DC fast-charging for rapid charging with lighter, thinner cables. Among the manufacturers offering this technology are Audi, Porsche, GMC, Hyundai, and Kia, while Tesla's upcoming V4 Supercharging will offer 1,000-volt capability.

Electric Vehicle (EV) stocks are red-hot, indicating significant long-term growth potential. A few weeks ago, we recommended EV stocks, and indeed, they've performed impressively. One such example is Tesla, which, after forming a head and shoulder formation about ten days ago, achieved the $240 target before bouncing back to the neckline. This week, we'll assess the strength of the neckline and the formation, as Tesla gears up for a robust market opening today. After several key adjustments to the trailing stop-loss, our Automated Trading Bot is back on track, turning profits.

SPAC transactions have taken a variety of Electric Vehicle (EV) business models to the public markets. ZeroNox brings another new approach to the EV story with its focus on retrofitting fleets of off-highway vehicles for sustainability. This week, we speak with ZeroNox President and Co-Founder Robert Cruess and Yana Kakar, CEO of the Growth for Good Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: GFGD). The pair announced a $306 million dollar combination in March. Yana explains why the off-highway segment of the EV market was attractive for the Growth for Good team. And Robert notes how ZeroNox's asset-light approach makes it a unique de-SPAC candidate in the EV space with more revenue generated to date than outside capital raised.  

In this episode of Tech-Driven Business, William ("Bill") Newman, Industry Executive Advisor (Chief), Automotive for the Customer Innovation Office at SAP North America, rejoins Mustansir Saifuddin to talk about the electronic vehicle (EV) market. Bill shares background on the EV market, how the market is developing, and what to expect in the future. From fuel cell technology to point charging to the changing user experience and sustainability, Bill covers a lot. More importantly he shares some valuable information for consumers and suppliers alike. Bill has over 35 years of executive leadership, strategy, consulting, practice management experience balanced with extensive public speaking and higher education experience. A former leadership team member for Volkswagen's IT division, he is the author of two books on enterprise performance and has worked with many OEMs and suppliers across the automotive industry.  Connect with Us: LinkedIn: Bill Newman, Mustansir Saifuddin, Innovative Solution Partners  Twitter: @william_newman @Mmsaifuddin Instagram @billwine5 YouTube isolutionpartners or learn more about our sponsor Innovative Solution Partners to schedule a free consultation.    Episode Transcript [00:00:03.760] - Mustansir Saifuddin Welcome to Tech Driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. In this episode, I welcome back Bill Newman of SAP. Listen in as Bill shares a background on the electric vehicles or the EV market. He dives into not only the past, but what we can expect to see down the road for suppliers across industries.   [00:00:30.200] - Mustansir Saifuddin Hello, Bill. How are you?   [00:00:32.060] - Bill Newman Good, Mustansir. Good to be back on your show.   [00:00:35.960] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thank you. Hey, welcome to Tech-Driven Business. We had some interesting conversations in the past and I'd like to continue our talk. But this time I picked a different topic than what we had discussed in the past. So looking forward to having that conversation with you.   [00:00:53.120] - Bill Newman Sounds great. Let's dive in.   [00:00:56.490] - Mustansir Saifuddin All right. So what we want to discuss as part of the show today is electric vehicles or EV and technology and how they go hand in hand. So with that, let's start with our conversation. I want to start off with, what are some of the cool things on the horizon when you talk about EV market? Can you just give us some background and your perspective on that?   [00:01:24.740] - Bill Newman Well, sure. I think listeners will be pretty familiar with the light passenger space. Battery electric vehicles, plug in hybrid electric vehicles, particularly those are going to be some of the things that we're seeing now and will continue to see. In other parts of the vehicle space, we're seeing hydrogen, other aspects of fuel cell technology, particularly for long-haul. But the general consumer, unless they're part of that transportation business, is probably, at least in the near term, not going to be impacted by that. With electrification comes this pesky business of having to charge a vehicle. I think listeners might be aware of the term range anxiety. The good news is that on a couple of fronts, battery density and the ability to charge a battery quickly using a DC direct-current fast-charging methods and even some infrastructure that allows parallel DC fast-charging will become more and more available. So it's not just we need locations for charging, but we also need those locations to be quick, efficient, and effective. People understand that you can't just put charging stations out in a parking lot and it works great in the summertime. But when there's weather and in the Sun Belt, the weather can be in the summertime, you have to also provide a friendly charging environment for that.   [00:03:14.240] – Bill Newman So you're going to have covers and maybe some solar collection on the top of the covers, maybe some heated environments for northern climates. These things are all being talked about. We went in deep with them with a recent center of automotive research event that we had that SAP sponsored in San Ramon at the end of 2022. I think also, too, the fact that the federal government is enabling an additional subsidy program for passenger EVs, and also putting some significant infrastructure dollars on the table as a part of the IRA will allow not just the Coast and a lot of the key Gulf Sunbelt strips, which do seem to have a high propensity for charging station density, but allow those to fill into places like in America's heartland where there's lots of open stretches in places where the traditional oil and gas companies have fought to keep electric charging out. So I do think that you'll begin to see over the next few years a little bit less range anxiety. Maybe even we get closer to the mythical 1,000 mile charge, which would really free up EVs as a cross continental and road trip platform that you could take with your friends, your family, maybe even towing, given the fact that we've got some really cool high torque electric vehicle trucks that are now making it into the marketplace and are getting very well received. Here to show everybody around the candy store what might be coming with EVs. So far, it all looks pretty good over the next few years.   [00:05:16.620] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think it's a very exciting time that we're living in, especially that some of the changes that are coming in this segment of the market is pretty phenomenal. How the battery life has been standing in a matter of very short period of time. I think this is really exciting stuff. Taking that growth in that EV space now, looking from the lens of a technology company, how can tech companies support this evolving EV market?   [00:05:54.100] - Bill Newman Well, staying on the topic of point charging, we see there an emergence of a new role in the auto ecosystem and that of energy provisioner. Being not just the companies that create third-party charging stations, but actually brands owning that as an option to say someone like you or I buying an electric vehicle, just like we would decide that we want some sporty wheels and trim packages on our vehicle. Maybe there's a package for pulling a boat, and we'll also be able to buy a trim package to hang a charging unit on the inside of our garage and be able to charge that way. Those are products that need to be built. Those are products that need to be serviced and managed. Guess what? There's a lot of companies, like all the big brands that want to have a piece of that and not only just white label those to be able to provide to their customers, but also be able to potentially do some fractal billing, a few basis pennies per kilowatt hour over time really adds up. And so there's a significant upside and revenue potential there and the Wall Street Journal covered that pretty extensively in an article in late 2022.   [00:07:18.940] - Bill Newman So those are all good things from a vehicle technology perspective, obviously higher density batteries, non-heavy metal batteries. So doing a lot of work with silicone, which can be developed synthetically and not have to be mined and harvested out of tough to reach and sometimes areas with really poor labor practices or maybe not politically friendly to Western markets. So there's a real upside there. And really just also, I think when you look at EVs, the nature, and I've spoken about this on this program and others, the nature of how EVs are shifting the experience from the front-seat driver experience to what I call the back-seat passenger experience, where you might be traveling in a semi-autonomous vehicle that is electrified and may not have a steering wheel, may actually feel more like a rolling, either workplace, or family space. And those provide new opportunities for companies who provide interiors, who provide lighting, who provide sound and instrumentation. We are working with suppliers today, automotive suppliers today, that are really thrilled with the opportunity to come up with some of these new creative designs or creative applications to support some of the new technologies that are going into different EV designs.   [00:08:56.580] - Bill Newman That piece is really extraordinary. If you look back in time, it's almost like when we left the Model A and the lifted carriage design that Henry Ford made so popular and really began to go into the longer sedan like driving experience where everybody could go for a Sunday drive in the countryside. And it was really liberating. I think in many ways we're at that next juncture point now in the design of vehicles that EV is letting us aspire to.   [00:09:36.600] - Mustansir Saifuddin I like your comparison. Really, it is coming to the point where we are going to see a big shift, at least from the vantage point we are at right now, seems like the possibilities are endless, especially when you talk about the interior of a car and the experience of a passenger, not just a driver. You're bringing in a whole new market segment, not only for organizations who are building those interiors, but technology companies who provide those accessories where it opens up a lot of opportunities for the consumers to have a different experience altogether in a vehicle.   [00:10:24.330] - Bill Newman I'll just add really quickly to that and do a shout out to the Experiences Per Mile Advisory Council, and the report that they issued in 2022, actually was the first report of its kind that suggested that the utility or the experience value, the value of an experience was different based on the purpose for that particular use of a vehicle. So if I was going on a vacation road trip, or if I was just driving to the office, or I was taking my kids to a soccer practice, there were lots of different use cases. And it's really pretty extraordinary to see then, are we moving to a place, particularly with new EV design, where we're actually designing or maybe just using a vehicle specifically fit for a given purpose or a set of specific purposes. And then for another basket of reasons why we would use a vehicle, we use something completely different all together. Really suggests a huge differentiation in potentially where vehicles could go and maybe moving out of that, how many hundreds of thousands of this particular vehicle did I produce to make money in a particular year to how personalized was I able to make this vehicle experience to my customers?   [00:11:55.840] - Bill Newman And how many times were they able to come into my portfolio of different vehicles to get the value that they wanted? So it's pretty fascinating stuff.   [00:12:07.660] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think you touched upon a very important point over here, the experience economy. Everything is about the experience now. This whole EV market can definitely change how folks look at a mode of transportation being so versatile and so open to having these possibilities which were unimaginable a few years back. Definitely a big shift in this direction. On a separate note, let me ask you this, what do you consider your biggest accomplishment? I know on a professional level, definitely you have a lot to share, but something that sticks out to you on a personal professional level that you'd like to share with our listeners?   [00:13:01.080] - Bill Newman Well, I think outside of my family, on a personal level professionally, I've always tried to be more of a teacher and a mentor. Interesting story. When I was a junior at UCLA, I was a substitute teacher for a school district that was on strike. All the world of respect to educators out there, but I was a hungry college student that needed to earn a few bucks, so I taught some math classes. One of my most fulfilling moments in my early adulthood was being able to work with some of the high school students that frankly hadn't gotten much of a shot from the institutional educators that were working at the high school that I was pinch hitting in and really being able to watch them grow. I've learned over the years that some of them have actually gone on to become educators themselves. I find that hugely fulfilling and feels like I have in a small way left a mark in somebody's life moving forward. Also just as a youth leader, too, as the same thing, whether it's at church or boy scouts or any of those things. Professionally, I've been part of some really cool vehicle design programs.   [00:14:23.900] - Bill Newman Listeners might know that I was an airplane guy before I was an automobile guy. So being able to take advantage of some design to first flight vehicle programs was really rewarding for me, as well as watching the Volkswagen Beatle sunset and roll off the assembly line down in Puebla, Mexico, after owning one as my first car when I had just gotten my license when I was 16. Those are just some fun things that come to mind. Appreciate you asking the question.   [00:15:03.360] - Mustansir Saifuddin Now, that's awesome. I can see that spark in your eyes when you talk about teaching and your passion for that and how it relates to your professional life also. But coming back to our topic, when you talk about EVs and this whole conversation about technology, what's your take on sustainability? How big a role is sustainability playing for the supply chain as you have seen in the past year or what do you see as the future in 2023?   [00:15:39.080] - Bill Newman Well, for sure, we're doing in our supply chain, we're moving more to a make-to-market, so more of a regionalization, which is good ecologically. Putting things on airplanes and putting them on boats and making them go thousands of miles. Yeah, I understand that there's a factor cost benefit to it to keep the price low, but it's not a good thing in terms of emissions either from vehicles or from ships, air vehicles, airplanes, air cargo jets in particular, and it's also very expensive. So I think that that aside, being able to figure out a way to manufacture EV technologies with less of a reliance on heavy materials that, again, need to be strip mined in many situations and have a tendency to devastate the environment of developing nations and not so developing nations who are doing that at their own expense. I think that there's something to be said about that. We're going to look at Scope 1, 2 and possibly Scope 3 requirements, along with significant tailpipe emission requirements and other rules that are going to come to the US in 2023. One can imagine that if I don't have my rules in alignment, I could, as an innocent EV owner, purchase a vehicle that was manufactured using inappropriate labor sources with materials that were mined in non-environmentally friendly ways and powered by non-environmentally friendly coal fired electrical plants.   [00:17:39.120] - Bill Newman So just because you drive an EV doesn't mean that you're being ecologically mindful. You have to really understand where it's all coming from and how you're using it. So sustainability plays a huge role there. We're going to see more regulatory impacts and reporting impacts as we go into 2023. And frankly, that works for people who want to drive gas powered vehicles as well. They're complex pieces of machinery and whether you have an affinity to drive gas powered electric or what have you, there's no guarantee that just because you climb behind a wheel, some gas powered vehicles are actually more sustainable than EVs. So it's not a black and white thing. Just to use the expression, you really have to go under the hood to understand what's going on there so that you're putting your money in a meaningful way in a place where you can act accordingly based on your beliefs for what sustainability means for you.   [00:18:48.360] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think you just hit it really right on the point when you talk about you really have to look under the hood to see what's going on. That's a good advice for our listeners to keep that in mind when you look at sustainability and how big of a role it plays overall. I think that brings us to the end of our conversation. Like I say always, what is the one take away from this particular topic that you're talking about that you want our listeners to keep in mind how we move through 2023?   [00:19:26.100] - Bill Newman Well, I think on the topic of EVs, just to wrap up the last piece that we were discussing, I think you have to decide what kind of an impact and how early you want to make, if you are going to be a green buyer and be conscientious and put your money where your mouth is. And for those people who really want to make an impact right now, immediately, and feel good about what they're doing over the next 5 to 10 years with the environment, buy a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. It's proven technology. Do plug it in. Don't drive it like a gas powered vehicle because then you're no better off than if you're filling up at the gas station. But that's very finely tuned technology. It's multi generations old. If you do feel that compelled to go in and buy a full battery electric vehicle, also understand that the technology is going to significantly improve, not quite like Moore's Law, but you're going to see some significant improvements in vehicle performance and comfort. Maybe not reliability because they're generally very high quality vehicles built today. But certainly in terms of battery capacity range, etc. You're going to see some real significant improvements in the next two to three years.   [00:20:51.240] - Bill Newman But again, plan to drive the car for 10 years, 15 years, 20 years. That's how they're built. And that's a real change in the mindset, particularly of North American auto consumers who, as recent as 20 years ago, generally bought or leased a new car every 4 to 6 years. We're moving away from that. So be really happy and confident in the purchase, particularly that you're making when and if you do go in for a form of electric vehicle. And that way you'll be quite satisfied over the period of ownership.   [00:21:33.120] - Mustansir Saifuddin That's a good advice to keep in mind. Thank you so much, Bill. It has been a pleasure talking with you. And it was a great conversation, especially this topic has been lingering and a lot of folks have questions in terms of how we are seeing the market now, but also what is the future holds for them. So thank you again for sharing your insights into this topic.   [00:21:58.240] - Bill Newman Great to be with you again. Take care. Have a great day.   [00:22:02.340] - Mustansir Saifuddin You too. Thank you.   [00:22:07.920] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thanks for listening to Tech Driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners.

Actor, Voiceover Actor, Singer and Author Rodney Saulsberry narrates this discussion about whether you should drive an Electric Vehicle (EV) or a Gas Car. The pros and cons of each are covered in detail in this very topical podcast.

The government is expected to finalise its Battery Swapping Policy soon. The draft version of the policy, released for stakeholder comments in April, has evoked a mixed response, with sections of the industry welcoming it, while others had some reservations. The draft policy offers several arguments for an Electric Vehicle (EV) ecosystem, particularly for e-2-wheelers and e-3-wheelers, centered on battery swapping as opposed to battery charging – it's more time-efficient, cost-efficient, and space-efficient. But at the same time, some have pointed out that aspects of the policy that mandate standardization in the design of battery packs to ensure interoperability could be problematic. So, what are the various challenges in implementing a battery swapping ecosystem? How will it be rolled out, given the high costs of setting up a battery swapping station? What has been the experience in other countries? 

Electric Vehicle (EV) penetration in the US is slower than many other countries. Sales of EVs and hybrids reached 5% market share last year, compared with 16% in China and 17% in Europe. US auto ownership is among the highest in the world, at 875 per 1,000 people. But relatively cheap gasoline weakens the cost […]

The Tata Group's flagship steelmaker Tata Steel last week approved the merger of six subsidiaries and an associate company with itself in a major move that consolidates the group's metals and mining business.  The move involves listed entities, Tata Steel Long Products, The Tinplate Company of India, Tata Metaliks and TRF.  The proposed amalgamation is aimed at driving synergies through raw material security, centralised procurement, optimisation of inventories, reduced logistics costs and better facility utilisation. The consolidation is in continuation with Tata Steel's drive to simplify the group holding structure. Since 2019, it has reduced 116 associated entities. Recently, the Adani Group overtook Tata to become India's most valuable conglomerate. At $278 billion, listed Adani companies had a combined valuation higher than Tata Group's $260 billion.  Under the Chairmanship of N Chandrasekaran, the salt-to-software conglomerate has been consolidating businesses that share common synergies. Earlier this year, the group announced the merger of Tata Consumer Products and Tata Coffee.  Tata Consumer itself was a result of the 2019 merger of consumer products business of Tata Chemical with Tata Global Beverages. A financial daily on Tuesday reported that the group and Singapore Airlines are working on merging their airline businesses Air India and Vistara, and housing them under a new joint venture. Meanwhile, Tata-owned AirAsia India is in the process of being merged with Air India Express, an Air India subsidiary that operates flights mainly on India-Gulf routes. By 2025, Tata's aviation business will be reportedly brought under Air India. Tata Sons, the group holding company, had consolidated its various businesses across aerospace and defence sectors together under a single entity, Tata Aerospace & Defence (Tata A&D). Ambareesh Baliga, Independent Market Analyst says, consolidation is a value creation proposition. Will bring in synergies and cost efficiencies. Tata's successful future businesses may also undergo consolidation.    According to a financially daily, Tata Sons has commenced plans to halve the number of listed companies in the conglomerate to an estimated 15 from 29 in the coming months. This is being done to focus on investing in bigger entities that can compete in the marketplace. The news report quoted the conglomerate's executives saying that it is speeding up the simplification to focus better on the growth and scale of the large companies.  Chandrasekaran, who is serving his second term as Tata Sons Chairman, restructured the group into ten verticals such as infrastructure, financial services, automotive and technology and e-commerce.  The group had committed over $10 billion to deleverage and restructure Tata companies, consolidate cross-holdings, acquire strategic assets and infuse capital for future growth. Chandrasekaran is driving his 3S philosophy of simplify, synergise and scale to take the group to new heights.  Simplification includes consolidating entities sharing the same sector into a single vertical and reducing subsidiary or exiting non-core businesses to bring focus and agility. An example of synergy would be Tata Motors leading the effort to develop an Electric Vehicle (EV) ecosystem in partnership with Tata Capital for financing and Tata Power for the charging infrastructure network. The group is largely focusing on home markets, as its strategy of going global has not yielded much returns. [Shailesh Haribhakti, Chairman, Shailesh Haribhakti Associates says, talent freed from separate silos. Enable clearer capital allocation. Chandrasekaran creating template for synergy.  .  Tata's latest ambitious goal is to harness its presence across multiple sectors into a unified offering for consumers through its super app Tata Neu. It'll be interesting to see how the consolidation exercise aids in this goal.

Welcome to Drive Electric Week with Karl, Carson and Justin.  These three will talk about all things Electric Vehicle (EV) and what Consumers Energy is doing to make owing and operating one easier.

Irish technology company evHACS has announced the launch of its innovative new charging system for electric vehicles (“EVs”) which it says will help to solve the challenge of charging solutions for electric-powered vehicle charging in the coming years. The company seeks to bring together three sectors: the electric vehicle charging ecosystem, the connected autonomous vehicle environment and the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. evHACS is an Irish Company supported by Enterprise Ireland. The amount of EV chargers required by 2030 is significant according to multiple sources: Ireland had 1,900 public EV chargers in 2021, this needs to increase to 30,000 by 2030 according to reports; the UK had 25,000 public EV chargers installed in 2021 and there needs to be 280,000 to 480,000 by 2030; the European Court of Auditors says there are 220,000 public chargers in Europe in 2020 which must grow to 1 million by 2025 and 3 million by 2030; EY, a consultancy, estimates that Europe will need 65 million chargers in total to fuel 130 million EV by 2035. Solution Is the charging industry capable of providing the number of chargers required? The jury is out. However, there is an industry which can help. evHACS? (short for electric vehicle charging heat pump air conditioning system) is a business with a patent-pending technology that uniquely combines electric car charging with heat pumps, air conditioners and refrigeration units. The technology seeks to contribute to lowering carbon home and commercial premises emissions by integrating two technologies thereby: lowering installation costs; lowering running costs; dynamically managing power consumption in the home; lowering CO² output and energy consumption The Heating, Ventilation Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) industry is expected to enter a period of exceptional growth over the next decade. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) say they expect heat pump units installed globally to grow from 180 million units to a stock of over 600 million units by 2030. The stock of air conditioning units are also expected to increase from 2 billion units currently to almost 3 billion units by 2030. evHACS seeks to show that the heat pump (and air conditioning unit) is the perfect unit to house an EV charger. The HVAC industry will work with evHACS to ensure that a proportion of units have the technology on board. The HVAC industry has the capability to significantly ameliorate the supply of EV chargers to satisfy the growing demand globally: targeting 5% of new HVAC units offering the technology it represents in excess of 2.1 million heat pump units and 50 million air conditioning units by 2030. Ireland is targeting 600,000 domestic heat pumps installed by 2030. The UK will grow the installation of electric heat pumps from 30,000 per year currently to 600,000 per year by 2028. COP26 has continued the pressure on all Governments to reduce carbon output through to 2040. The war in Ukraine has also heightened the necessity to present to market solutions which will lower oil and natural gas dependency. Jeff Aherne, CEO evHACS says: “evHACS technology is simplicity at its best: integrating a charger into a HVAC unit saves on separate installations of both a charger and an air conditioning unit saving time, money and personnel. In domestic situations where a heat pump is increasingly proving popular over natural gas and oil, it makes sense to have a charger integrated into the unit.” A domestic charger uses around 7kW of power and a heat pump uses up to 5kW depending on its size. A house typically has 12 to 16kW of power, so having both the heat pump and the charger running concurrently risks tripping the main breaker if other appliances are also switched on. Other manufacturers of chargers use load balancing to reduce the charge to the vehicle in order to stop the tripping and circuit failure. evHACS also balances. However, it uniquely balances “both” the heat pump and the charger introducing a flexib...

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos drops by to discuss what it's like to live in a "V for Vendetta" dystopia. There's never a dull moment here in clown world. I know we're not supposed to have any doubts about the 2020 election but having questions doesn't make one an election denier. Check out Arizona gubenatorial candidate Kari Lake's answer to a reporter's question on the matter. A common tactic for the left is to accuse its opponents of exactly what the left is doing. James Bovard has a marvelous take-down of the president's speech last week and how anyone in power who does what Biden does would be acting like a dictator. Here's some powerful incentive to think twice before jumping aboard the Electric Vehicle (EV) bandwagon. As early as next year, Europeans could be paying as much as $270 each time they charge their EVs. That's a lot of money to go 150 miles. Hate crime hoaxes are nothing new. Especially since an accusation is as good as a conviction in the court of public opinion. But did the BYU volleyball incident even happen? There's good reason to doubt.

http://www.pauleichenberg.com (Paul Eichenberg) has his finger on the pulse of the automotive industry. With an engineering background and three decades of automotive experience, the former Vice President of Corporate and Strategic Planning at https://www.magna.com/company/company-information/magna-groups/magna-powertrain (Magna Powertrain, Inc). is now the head of his own consulting firm, which advises auto executives around the world on how to make the most of an era of disruption and the rise of electric vehicles. In eight years at Magna, Paul was responsible for three times growth and says this role put him “at the forefront of the major disruptions” taking place in the automotive industry today. In this episode, Paul talks about the unique set of supply chain obstacles that Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Electric Vehicle (EV) organizations face, the unexpected speed of progress in new battery technologies, and the type of supply chain leader that the electric vehicle industry demands. Themes discussed in this episode:  Significant advantages that new entrants into the EV market have over traditional automakers who are entering the space.  The challenge that the complexity of new EV technologies presents for executives in ICE organizations How operating without historic ICE supply chain systems creates challenges for EV organizations  Why non-automotive electronics manufacturers entering the EV market are at a disadvantage and what they can do to help bridge the gap Why ICE and EV components are “an apples-to-oranges comparison”  Automotive leadership for the EV age https://auto-supply-chain.captivate.fm/24-processes-free-downlaod (At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they?

Electrification presents them with a whole new set of challenges and complexities that most of them are unprepared for, Paul says. [5:18] Deceptively simple: Building an electric vehicle requires only 60 percent of the manufacturing footprint of a gas-powered car. Yet EV manufacturers do not have the luxury of the business systems developed in the past few decades to support ICE vehicle production. [6:53] ETA unknown: Paul says that forecasting vehicle release dates are a “huge problem” for EV manufacturers because they don't have the value chains that their ICE counterparts do to make forecasting reliable. [7:50] Joining forces: Companies like Panasonic benefit from years of automotive experience on top of their other verticals. Paul points to the collaboration between LG and automotive component manufacturer https://electrek.co/2021/03/30/electric-vehicle-spotlight-evs-magna-international/ (Magna International) as an example of players without this experience connecting to an organization in the automotive field as a way to compensate.   [10:24] Raising the power bar: Ten years ago, the industry's goal was less than $1000 per kilowatt hour for battery technology. Paul says progress on this is way ahead of schedule; today the goal is...

Even if you don't have an Electric Vehicle (EV), and even if you never plan to get one, the fact is that the supply and demand for EVs can still affect you. Much like supply problems in many other sectors, EVs pull in parts and materials from all over the world. And when supply can't keep up, there are knock on effects felt everywhere--including in your family. As always, we seek to keep you informed and prepared the best way we know how: through this podcast!

Climate change is rearing its ugly head in many forms, including wildfires, mass coral bleaching, major glaciers and ice sheets melting, and an increase in major storms. the damage of climate change consequences are costing governments billions upon billions of dollars forcing the same governments to develop policies to help curb greenhouse gas emissions. The governments are also calling on individuals to change the way they behave to also help reduce their footprint. One change is to buy an electric vehicle (EV).  Buying an EV is not an easy step as there is a ton of misinformation out there, but it is getting easier to buy an EV as they are cheaper and more available (for the most part). I am now in the market for an EV and in today's episode, I am sharing with you my journey to purchasing my first EV.  Connect with Speak Up For Blue: Website: https://bit.ly/3fOF3Wf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3rIaJSG Twitter: https://bit.ly/3rHZxpc
