Exploration of Electric Vehicle Future: An Examination of Overhead-Driven Electric Cars

In an exciting development for the automotive industry, a new study by consulting firm Strategy& predicts that electric vehicles (EVs) will account for 40% of global car sales by 2030, rising to 60% by 2035. This shift towards EVs is expected to be driven by advancements in battery technology, powertrains, and competition.

By 2030, EVs are anticipated to reach cost parity with internal combustion engine models in all segments. Today, EVs already achieve a comparable total cost of ownership (TCO) in many classes. The demand for batteries is expected to increase from the current 1.15 TWh to around five TWh by 2035 due to the rise in EV sales.

The study, titled "Coming of Age: The Next Phase in the eMobility Transformation," highlights several key players in the industry. Companies such as BMW and Ford, collaborating on solid-state batteries, Stellantis with Samsung SDI for battery production, Tesla and BYD using cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs, Volkswagen with Asian partners like Gotion, and Hyundai in strategic alliances to improve battery and charging technology are all working towards achieving these goals.

However, the study does not provide specific details on the types of electric trucks or diesel trucks that will be replaced, nor does it mention any potential environmental benefits or drawbacks of these advancements in electric mobility. It also does not provide any information on the infrastructure needed to support these advancements in electric mobility.

One of the most intriguing predictions made by the study is that electric trucks are predicted to replace diesel trucks by 2030. The average consumption of electricity for 100 kilometers in electric vehicles, as predicted by the study, is 14 kWh. EVs are also expected to be able to recharge to a range of 400 kilometers in just ten minutes by 2030.

While the study does not provide details on the cost implications of these advancements in electric mobility, analysts attribute the cost reduction in EVs to falling cell prices, increased competition, and economies of scale. The study does not mention any specific brands or manufacturers of electric vehicles or trucks.

By 2035, Strategy& expects the share of EVs in global car sales to be around 60%. The study attributes the advancements in electric mobility to new cell chemistries, optimized battery architectures, and more efficient powertrains. Despite the lack of specific details, the study's predictions paint a promising picture for the future of electric mobility.
