Should we fail to limit temperature rise to 2°C or less, climate change will almost certainly wreak global havoc and lead to vast costs (IPCC, 2014). To mitigate the costs and impacts of climate change, we have no choice but to reduce emissions as quickly as possible while building resilience in the areas that will be affected.
Electrifying the transportation system represents an upheaval for the automotive industry and the entire transportation sector. The upcoming transition will force companies to reexamine how they think about mobility and to develop new and evolving technologies to meet the challenges it brings. As the transition towards electrifying our transportation systems begins to gather momentum, this study aims to identify the major challenges and solutions of the electric vehicle sector, and to identify the parts of the sector with high added value in order to support companies which will play key roles in the energy transition.
