The Growth of Electric Vehicles: Integrating Revolutionary Business Models and Value Chains

Description:

The evolution of electric vehicles has shaken automotive industry traditions by offering new opportunities and challenges for business development, partnerships and integration. The automotive industry has been required to shift to a revolutionary way of thinking in order to create unconventional business models and ventures to combat the high manufacturing costs of electric vehicles. Although EVs offer immense opportunities for existing stakeholders, the growth of this industry will introduce new entrants, intermediaries and new means of creating value at different points in the vehicle value chain. Mass-market adoption of EVs requires a cost-balancing, seamless customer experience for vehicle usage and ownership. To cultivate this rapidly growing industry, flexible partnerships must thrive between diverse and cross-functional industries such as telecommunications, energy providers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers. This business revolution will foster a new era of industry as well as advance the important vehicle improvements needed to make PHEVs and EVs dominant players in the future of sustainable transport. Although there will be uncertainty in the marketplace, these new concepts of mobility will change the way we view our vehicles as a mode of personal transport. This conference offers an opportunity for business development managers, investors, suppliers and representatives to share their experiences and exchange potential business models in order to analyse and understand value propositions for the electric vehicle marketplace. In addition, this session will provide an invaluable setting for delegates to expand their business network as well as identify future synergies and collaborations in new sectors of the EV marketplace. Through a series of presentations from leading figures across the automotive value chain, combined with topical discussions, participants will have the opportunity to gain an in-depth perspective of evolving business models.
