    Batteries are Complicated

    Much like other global platform technologies that came before them (e.g., the internet, microchips), batteries represent for today’s businesses both enormous challenge and enormous opportunity. Get batteries right, and you can create a huge competitive advantage and trillions of dollars of value (see Apple, Tesla). Get them wrong and face multi-billion dollar recalls and incalculable brand damage.

    It can be overwhelming trying to stay on top of these trends or determine which battery to bet on. New tools are needed in order to maximize value from batteries and, perhaps more importantly, to avoid costly missteps.

    Join us for a discussion about how “batteries are complicated” — what we mean by that, and what it means for you.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Batteries are impacting every technology application and corner of our lives — representing both enormous challenge and opportunity
    • Battery technology is constantly evolving. While lithium-ion batteries established market dominance, there is still enormous variation across form factors, chemical formulations, internal components — not to mention continuous improvements to enhance performance

    The US Electric Vehicle Market – From Niche to the Mainstream

    Sales of battery electrics are growing, with the number of entries seemingly growing too fast relative to projected sales volume. Costs are coming down (albeit not fast enough?), capability is increasing, infrastructure is being developed (albeit not fast enough?), and the target market is becoming more mainstream.

    What needs to happen to facilitate the projected growth?

    We will discuss key products, marketing approaches of the vehicle makers, what potential customers want (and fear), opportunities as battery and electronic technologies evolve, and the products most important to reach high volumes and facilitate company profits.

    We will identify some of the potential winners and losers among the vehicle makers and suppliers, both within the current industry and beyond.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Review of Current Sales and Products, Forecasted to 2025
    • Product Range Moving Across Segments to Target the Mainstream Buyer
    • Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
    • Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies and Consumer Preferences Matter More
    • Trends in Batteries, Range, and Cost

    Going Electric – But How, When, and By Whom?

    Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. In the last year companies have piled on the price increases, while mostly failing to meet their own production goals. But companies throughout the industry are ramping up their spending, with public investment (and regulation) pouring in as well.

    Is the focus on the high end or is the market moving mainstream? Yes.

    We will discuss product successes and failures, and what it will take for the latter to become the former. We will evaluate the major players including their key products, marketing approaches, and whether they have and/or will hit the mark.

    We will assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Current sales and products, forecasted to 2030
    • The industry is throwing a party, albeit with different levels of commitment, sales, and production strategies
    • Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and forthcoming EPA and California regulations
    • Opportunities and risks due to the evolving battery and materials market

    The US Electric Vehicle Market – Ruled by Demand or Supply?

    Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. High prices have hurt demand, as high costs due to lack of scale and supplier and manufacturer production problems have occurred.

    Short-term financial pressures and regulatory requirements, which do not require high BEV volumes in the short-term, enable companies to back off on the timing and extent of some of their investments.

    But 2026 looks a lot different than 2024, and the North American market does not operate in a vacuum. We will address what companies have achieved, where they’ve come up short, and what the future holds.

    We will also assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Current Sales and Products forecasted to 2030
    • Company plans are in flux for multiple reasons
    • Regulatory impact is significant and unclear
    • The evolving Battery and Materials market adds uncertainty and opportunity
