  An Unsettled EV Market as Some Automakers Step Forward and Others Pull Back

  Sales of battery electrics (including PHEVs) are growing and new products are launching and in development, but the market is unsettled. Tesla remains the market leader, but its product plan and market strategy is unclear, even as Elon Musk has become a polarizing figure affecting Tesla’s sales results while his influence via his support of President Trump is likely to affect regulatory policy.

  How will the industry respond to the opportunities and challenges?

  Consumer interest in electric vehicles continues to grow, but is dependent on manufacturer strategies, product plans, and perhaps most important, pricing which will be affected by likely changes in consumer incentives. Charge anxiety is a key issue and is being addressed by an improved public charging network. But consumers need more information on if and how EVs will meet their needs.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current sales and forecast to 2030
  • Government policy is clearly changing, with action from all three branches at the federal level, as well as changes at the state level
  • An effective strategy requires more than “Throwing the Switch” at a later date when multiple factors align
  • Scale can be your friend or foe
  • How evolving technology can lower cost
