It's World EV Day today. Over the weekend and again this morning, news comes of trouble at Volkswagen with reports that they may have to shutter plant in Germany and rumbles of gripes at Cariad (its software development arm) over a just announced a $t5bn tie up with Rivian for EV software development. We've also seen wet fuel providers over the past year or so looking to exit the Home charging market on the basis that it's not profitable (at least for them). What's going on? At one level, you might be forgiven for thinking this is product/market fit, at another, well there are companies making profits (viz. myenergi), but maybe it's a bit more than either of these. An industry is pivoting from a main focus on engineering to a main focus on software and established companies may struggle to understand the new world, if they recognise it at all. I actually think VW are starting to understand this, which is why they're changing how they work. When an industry pivots, business has to pivot with it or risk going defunct. The real story is less the companies hitting the news, but more those that have yet to start the process of adaptation. At ADAPTAVIS, we help firms to make that pivot in a sustainable way, meaning we increase capability and enable a new mindset to stick. What's your view of the VW news? #worldevday #ev #transformationalleadership

Keeping things simple is how we can effectively educate the public about energy. Even more important is how we use intelligent software to translate energy technology into simple experiences that meet people where they are based on their lifestyle and preferences. This is at the heart of Chargeway’s strategy and design, and it has been a pleasure sharing this knowledge at the CHARGE - Powering Energy Brands conferences throughout the world in recent months. 😊 #chargeway #electricvehicles #electriccars #electricfuel #evcharging #charginginfrastructure #chargingstations #energy #branding #communications #marketing #keepitsimple

It’s fair to say that the adoption of electric cars is a step ahead of commercial vehicles. Good panel discussion on this, some of the key challenges raised include: When it’s not a small van it can be more difficult, work to be done here Infrastructure is good but needs to develop in non-metropolitan areas to support commercial vehicle charging Driver engagement is crucial, Lorna McAtear shared some good insights on how she tackled this at the National Grid All fair challenges but enough innovations and ideas shared today to show that these can all be overcome #bvrla #fleetsincharge #evadoption

🚗🔋🔌 In our latest Auto Talk, we're delving into the vital role of data and multi-channel communication for retailers. Despite a 10.4% rise in new car registrations overall this March, BEV market share dropped to 15.2%, raising concerns around meeting the ZEV Mandate. Encouraging BEV adoption is now a pressing industry challenge.

A reinvigorated new car market is delivering more choice and affordability for used car buyers and, increasingly, they are choosing to go electric. To enable even more drivers to enjoy the benefits of zero emission motoring, ensuring both supply and demand remains robust is essential. Incentivising new EV uptake and investing in a chargepoint network that is accessible, available and affordable to all will drive the nation’s net zero transition. https://lnkd.in/eft58H4m
