Electric Vehicles in East Asia 2011-2021 ( EVHUB Exclusive )





The largest market and production location for electric vehicles 


56% of the value of sales of electric vehicles is and will remain in East Asia and cars only account for about half of the value of the electric vehicle business worldwide. It is therefore important to look at the big picture and, in particular, the latest ten year forecasts for EV activity in East Asia. Uniquely this report provides that information. Entirely researched in 2010 and regularly updated, the report draws many valuable conclusions including some that are summarised below.
www.IDTechEx.com/evasia

China buys over 90% of the e-bikes in the world and Japan buys the most hybrid cars. Indeed the best selling electric car in the world, the Toyota Prius, sells in Japan at twice the volume taken by the whole of the USA. All this will have changed by 2021 because China will have installed adequate charging infrastructure for pure electric and plug in hybrid cars by then and they will be more affordable. In 2021, sales of electric cars in China will have a much larger market value than the huge and growing sales of e-bikes in China. It is fortunate that the takeoff in sales of electric cars is delayed in China by lack of infrastructure and shortage of affordable electric cars with acceptable range. If Chinese people purchased a large number of plug in electric cars over the next five years it would significantly increase global warming because today, most of the power stations in China are inefficient and coal fired.

Electric cars roll into WC

WEBSTER?CITY?- Two large auto transporters arrived in Webster City Friday night, carrying the first shipment of Electric Motor Car Co. bodies, or gliders.
AMS Inc., a division of Eagle Manufacturing of Webster City, will soon begin the finishing assembly of the electric autos, according to AMS?owner Joe Fleming.
"These are going to be European auto bodies with American guts," Fleming said of the autos. "What makes it even better is the fact that these are going to be assembled by Iowa workers."
The "gliders" -?the car chassis that have no engine or transmission - were rolled, coasted and then towed into a space at the Kenco warehouse on Des Moines Street. Workers at the Webster City plant will be responsible for placing the electric power train in the gliders. Many local residents stopped to watch Friday night as the cars came off of the transporters.
Fleming said he was excited about the new venture. Eagle Manufacturing has been a subcontractor for Electrolux. With the announcement of the closing of the appliance manufacturing plant, Fleming said he had been searching for new business opportunities.

Car rental companies to offer electric Nissan Leaf

Beginning as early as January, electric cars will be available at the nation's two largest auto rental companies.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, North America's largest car rental firm, unveiled plans last week to offer about 500 Nissan Leaf all-electric cars, initially at dealerships in Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland and Seattle.
The announcement came a few months after Hertz , the world's largest car rental company, said it planned to offer Nissan Leafs at a handful of locations in the U.S. and Europe, including New York, Washington and San Francisco, next year. A fully charged Leaf has a range of about 100 miles.
Hertz and Enterprise already offer hybrid models such as theToyota Prius.
But some questions about renting electric cars have yet to be answered.
For example, representatives for each company say the price of renting a Leaf will probably be higher than the rates for traditional gas-burning vehicles. But they have yet to announce exact rates.
"The details are still being worked out," said Lee Broughton, director of sustainability for Enterprise.

Electric vehicles still face obstacles to adoption

Kang Byong-chol drives CT&T’s electric vehicle e-Zone in central Seoul last month. By Kim Hyung-soo

Go out on the streets of Seoul and see if you can spot an electric vehicle. You might be waiting a while.

Although Korea is eagerly trying to promote green growth and reduce the overall volume of carbon emissions, electric vehicles are still an uncommon mode of transportation in the country.

It was only in March of this year when the government finally permitted electric cars in Korea after a bill was passed by the National Assembly.

Electric cars: Gaston charging up for change

It won’t be getting any speeding tickets, but Gaston County is on the road to gasoline-free transportation.
All over the country this summer, media stories have been anticipating the release of two electric vehicles, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. Even in cities where the new EVs won’t be available until next year, such as Charlotte, plans to install public charging stations have been accelerating.
In Gaston County, there will be at least one EV available for test drives by 2011 and – maybe – one public charging station by 2012.
Customers are asking about the Leaf on a regular basis at Gastonia Nissan, said senior salesman Greg Oates.
Oates, who has been learning more about the plug-in model at Leaf-specific training sessions, estimates that the first test drive will take place in February. Preparations to install a charging station at the dealership will begin next month.
Though a few people in the Gaston County area have showed interest in buying the vehicle through non-committal “hand-raise” reservations, hesitance to invest in new technology right away is natural, said Oates.

GM reduces shock at Volt's high price

General Motors has priced its Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid at US$41,000 ($56,280), including a shipping fee, and plans to tell consumers the cost covers a peace of mind that's missing from other electric vehicles.
The price of the Volt, which goes on sale in the US in October or November, compares with the US$32,780 Nissan wants for its Leaf electric vehicle, which goes on sale in December. Buyers of both cars are eligible for a US$7500 federal tax credit.
GM says the Volt can travel as far as 65km on battery power before it switches to its petrol-powered engine. The Leaf is an all-electric vehicle advertised as having an estimated 160km range before drivers need to recharge.
GM's research and its experience with the EV1 electric vehicle in the 1990s indicated customers interested in electric vehicles also wanted the peace of mind provided by the Volt's onboard engine, said US marketing chief Joel Ewanick.

Holy Grail of Electric Vehicles: 30-minute Charging

With electric vehicles coming closer to maturity and mass-market adoption, one crucial stumbling block remains in place: limited range made worse by hours-long charging.
Consumers may dump the idea of buying an EV with a range of 75 to 100 miles because they can only get so far before needing another charge to replenish the vehicles batteries and at present, fully charging an EV can take hours and even an overnight length of time.
The New York Times has a story that looks at one of the solutions aside from fast-charging batteries; high-voltage quick chargers.

Do Electric Vehicles Mean You Should Invest in Coal?

The upcoming crop of electric cars is impacting Wall Street analysts and not just because of potential car sales. Motley Fool, an investment website, advises people to invest in coalbecause zero-emission vehicles such as the upcoming Nissan Leaf will plug into the national electric grid, which is powered largely by coal. While the money men think coal is a good investment, that doesn’t mean renewable resources aren’t making gains.
It will be a long time before wind and solar resources power our electric vehicle fleet — some might say never — and each EV purchased adds the equivalent of a new house to the electric grid, which necessitates more electricity production. This means burning more coal and spewing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is inevitable, right?

Victoria to trial electric cars

Brumby spends $5m of $38b transport plan on zero-emission vehicles.

The Victorian Government was seeking 180 households for a $5 million, five-year trial of zero-emission electric cars.
It was part of a $38 billion transport plan for the state.
The trial involved 180 charging points and 60 vehicles - passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and two-wheelers - to be rotated between participants every three months.

Hero Motors’ Pankaj Munjal: Going Global with a Passion for Wheels


Cars and bikes are in Pankaj Munjal's blood -- after all, his family founded the Hero Group, the New Delhi-based US$5 billion enterprise comprising 20 companies including the world's largest manufacturer of bicycles. As managing director of Hero Motors and Hero Cycles, Munjal oversees the company's two-wheeler production as well as its global auto components business. In an interview with India Knowledge@Wharton at the 2010 Wharton India Economic Forum, the auto aficionado spoke about why his firm is focused on the small-car market, what he looks for in new hires, and what toys he likes to take for a drive.
An edited transcript of the conversation follows.
India Knowledge@Wharton: Tell us about the structure of your business.
Pankaj Munjal: The Hero Group is the eighth largest manufacturing group in India. We have sales of US$5 billion and employed 27,000 people last year. Our group has two ends: a front end -- bicycles and motorcycles [that directly] touch customers -- and a back end [which consists of] parts and services. Our group's companies are the leaders in bicycles; we claim to be the world's largest maker. [We are also a big player in] motorcycles, and our parts [business had] about US$1.2 billion in sales last year.
Hero Cycles and Hero Honda [are customer-facing businesses]. [For our] parts [manufacturing] companies, we have a joint venture with Showa of Japan. We are market leaders in the country and supply to Suzuki and Honda. Suzuki is a market leader, with a 50% market share in India. And we've got a joint venture with Sumitomo Corp. called Munjal Kiriu. We supply to Suzuki, Toyota, Nissan, General Motors -- practically everybody. Every Hero Group company is number one in [its] field.
Then we have a foundry and aluminum die-casting plant, which supplies [these parts businesses]. These components go into automobiles, so they are [quite] competitive. [Our customers] are global companies. When Suzuki [puts out] a tender, it will be a tender for worldwide sales. So if they buy from us, it means we are really globally competitive. So this is the broad structure of the group.
India Knowledge@Wharton: The business that you are in, especially auto parts, depends on the health of the auto industry. Have you seen any challenges with the global downturn? What has been your strategy to weather those?
Munjal: India never really had a downturn. In October 2008, when the meltdown started, there was a little lull for about two months. It was not like a depression, but a little flat curve; growth was not so aggressive. Come January 2009, things were up and buoyant again.
