Transition to x/z EVs 2023 (Current Status, Goals, and Challenges in Each Country)

Providing "seeds" of inspiration for readers as a collection of "x/z EV business materials."

This book is envisioned as a "business resource collection" that broadly addresses the business needs and supply (demand and supply) aspects related to x/z EVs and lithium-ion batteries, while considering recent trends. It is not intended for the author to present conclusions or provide direction. The goal is to gather the most recent data in numerical form as much as possible, organize it chronologically, and provide it as a reference for the readers' action plans. In the first half, the focus is on BEVs, PHEVs, and HEVs, organizing and presenting the different contents of x/z EVs by country. A list of the goals for the abolition of ICEs by 2030 or 2035 is provided according to these classifications. Next, the manufacturing and sales performance by country and region is summarized based on the most recent 12 months of numerical data available. The significant gap between these figures and the final targets appears to be a barrier that will hinder progress moving forward. The challenge of addressing this gap varies widely depending on the country and automobile manufacturers, leading to many competitive and collaborative relationships emerging. The major BEV models from various companies have moved beyond the development stage and are now entering a phase of performance improvement and the development of uniqueness. The driving performance of major models from the 2022-23 period is compared, and various issues related to charging systems and safety are addressed.
