“The SMMT’s latest new market figures continue to paint a generally positive picture overall, but as always, the real story is in the details. Battery electric cars are gaining ground, but their overall adoption remains steady rather than soaring, and most registrations stem from fleets rather than private buyers. The low proportion of private registrations shows that consumers are still cautious. The industry unanimously calls on the next government to support the automotive sector and consumers in transitioning to EVs. The critical question now is whether we will see action. We’re unlikely to see a significant shift in the market performance this year."

The transition from internal-combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EV) was already the biggest disruption to hit the automotive industry in more than a century. But lately, even that disruption is being disrupted—and in vastly different ways, depending on where you are located around the globe.    To better understand what’s going on, and prepare for what’s ahead, we fielded and analyzed the AlixPartners 2024 International Electric Vehicle Consumer-Sentiment Survey.

The EV disruption in automotive is being disrupted... Western stakeholders are going to need new strategies to deal with lagging adoption in Europe and the US compared to China

🚘 Automotive manufacturers are rapidly pivoting towards xEVs, driving the need for increased power and efficiency in modern applications. The shift is propelled by the transition from traditional ICE vehicles to advanced xEVs, where power-hungry applications are more prevalent due to the optimization of existing systems and the introduction of new functionalities, like cross-computing. To keep up with these demands, OEMs are turning to 48 V architectures to break free from the limitations of 12V systems.   Key high-power applications will benefit the most from this trend, which is why low RDS(on) devices are critical. In response, we introduce our next-gen automotive 80 V trench technology with RDS(on) as low as 2.4mΩ in 5x6. Learn more - https://lnkd.in/eGyjKk4K

Is the push to zero emissions from vehicles too much too soon? Certainly, the consumer hesitance in purchasing EVs would suggest so and there’s also the issue of industry readiness. According to IMI’s TechSafe data, only around 25% of the automotive workforce is qualified to work on EVs and just 9% can work on high voltage systems. The Government has announced its consultation on this issue and we should all pay careful attention to the outcomes, which are bound to have a direct impact on the collision repair sector.
