James Carter certainly gets it…we all need #battery prices($/kWhr) to fall. While the OpEx of eVs are lower already, the CapEx needs to fall in line with what consumers can afford in most geographies outside nations with battery #Gigafactories. Price for buyers (excluding government incentives) needs to convert the *eV push* into an *eV pull*. The cleaner environment, better riding dynamics and pleasing performance are all nice to haves…but nothing drives economics and #ev market share like upfront #affordability. Don’t worry about #charginginfrastructure and #reliable chargers too much, many of us are working to solve that problem.
Low cost batteries 🔋 from BYD and CATL are about to make EVs INSANELY CHEAP. "In my 2014 book #CleanDisruption, I predicted that Li-ion #batteries would reach $50/kWh by 2027. That sounded insane — to the linear mainstream — but it looks like #China may reach that number sooner." Tony Seba "At that price, a 60 kWh battery that costs manufacturers $6,776.00 today will cost just $3,388 12 months from now, saving EV manufacturers over $3,000 per vehicle." When the inflection point of disruption comes, it arrives at a pace that competitors who aren't prepared can't do anything about. That's what is exactly what's happening here. At the battery costs shown here, which is a generous battery size for a car like a Toyota Motor Corporation Corolla or Honda Civic, the price is under that of a long engine, with gearbox, fuel system and full exhaust on say a 2 litre or 1.5 litre turbo engine that would typically be used in these cars. Certainly less than a hybrid engine. What's more, EV platforms are typically cheaper to engineer and produce. For the consumer, an EV priced less than the equivalent IC vehicle is a "no brainer" as energy and maintenance are around 60% to 80% cheaper. Yet, we've only seen IC vehicle prices go up! This means that the cross over point of MSRP equality should arrive in the next 2 to 3 years. Right on schedule with Tony Seba's forecast. Do you agree that EVs will be cheaper than IC at retail in the next 2 to 3 years?

When I started my career with Honeywell, it was Sandeep who practically trained me on my first plant commissioing at the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited. Working under his tutelage, I built strong concepts in #SCADA and setting up a stable plant wide network of machines for mission critical activities. I would highly recommend contacting Sandeep for your next #DCS #automation project. Foundations are important to get right, trust Sandeep Udayshankar Singh PMP.

⚡️🚗 Exciting Update! 🔋🏎️ It’s been a while since I’ve been dreaming about making eV charging more accessible while demystifying the complexities of battery capacity (kWhr), charging speed (kW), cost of charging ($/kWhr), and installation hurdles—things that should be hassle-free for every car owner. After countless months of hard work and dedication, I'm thrilled to share a major milestone in our journey. 🌟 At 10:25 pm on Sunday August 13th, 2023, we achieved a significant breakthrough with PowerNap eV charger. Our prototype successfully charged a car for the very first time, marking a pivotal moment in our mission to make eV charging simpler and more accessible. We've been busy designing the hardware from 1st principles, imagining a business model that would solve the crux of charging, evaluating and selecting components, working with component manufacturers to build purpose built high power worthy parts, hiring a tiny team from my personal savings, living and breathing chargers every day, _inspiring that team to believe it was possible_ while giving them the resources, and filling in for any engineering role that we couldn’t afford in-house, seeing people leave, rehiring after learning from mistakes, learning parts of PCB design, understanding and procuring affordable 3D CAD tools while training and inspiring draftsman, working in the trenches with embedded systems engineers, working late night every night till it worked. I am very grateful for the experience and the people who have stayed with me in this journey. Through ups and downs, we've persevered, continually learning and growing. Our journey has just begun; now, we'll shift our focus to refining our prototype into a consumer-ready product. This involves fine-tuning the details, layering software features such as authentication, billing, and encryption, and ensuring that PowerNap eV becomes a seamless solution. #independenceday #indigenous #homegrown #electricvehiclecharging

Imagine a continent with 400kW eV charging available (minimum one 150kW DC fast charger) every 60km (37miles) while not having to sign up for yet another service or subscription. Just pay contactless or via credit card without downloading an app! That's Europe by end 2025 along their Trans European highways. It gets better by end 2027 with 600kW at each of those charging bays!! 🛣 🔌 🚗 ⚡ https://lnkd.in/dVBmC5Zr #evcharginginfrastructure #mandatory across #europeantravel

Given the class leading technology stack that Lucid Motors has built, I was always secretly hoping they would supply their tech to companies that are struggling to go electric or developing economies floundering with undersized batteries and underwhelming charging speeds. Never imagined botique sports car brand Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd would be the one to bolster Lucid’s top line as they struggle to find buyers for their brilliantly engineered and tastefully designed Air luxury sedan. Here’s hoping there’s a trickle down effect in which Lucid is willing to share their know how with less sexy mass market car OEMs!
Lucid becomes battery and motor supplier to Aston Martin. A great opportunity OR a collaboration of zombies? "Lucid will .... supply much of the technology for Aston’s forthcoming range of fully electric models. The first is promised for as soon as 2025. In return, Lucid Motors will be paid $132 million in cash for its expertise and will also be given a 3.7 percent stake in Aston Martin worth another $100 million. It is also guaranteed that Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd will buy at least $225 million in powertrain components." Aston Martin, the perennial money losing manufacturer of beautiful and very desirable sports cars with a storied history, has teamed up with a SPAC fuelled new EV OEM that has seen the bottom drop out of its share price to supply powertrain components. Seems really bad, right? Well, no. Actually quite the opposite; and given Peter Rawlinson's deep ties to the British car industry, it also isn't a surprising deal. What's more, both have deep ties to motorsport, which significantly helps. I've been seriously impressed by Lucid's technology, and apart from some quality niggles, the Air has had excellent reviews. Not only that, they have serious speed. My thoughts are that most of Lucid's troubles have been wrapped up in Covid related supplier problems, compounded by falling demand due to higher interest rates. Very problematic for sure, but fundamentally sound. So, combining Lucid's tech prowess with beautiful Aston Martin styling and desirability, and you've got a (potential) recipe for an outstanding car. For Aston Martin, its also an opportunity to transform itself into a maker of ultra desirable electric cars. For Lucid, it's an opportunity to develop and grow its supplier business - even if Lucid had to take equity in a notoriously unstable company to make it happen. Still, for both this is very much a dice worth rolling, and I am very excited to see the future results. What's your take on the new Lucid Aston Martin partnership. A great opportunity for both? Or collaboration of the recently SPAC / IPO'd zombies?
