So steht es um die Elektromobilität in den USA

Tesla startete 2008 in den USA und damit die Elektromobilität, wie wir sie heute kennen. Wie schlägt sich – 15 Jahre später – der Pionier-Staat im Vergleich zum Autoland Deutschland?

BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz und Stellantis bauen zusammen ein Schnellladenetzwerk in Nordamerika auf. Die ersten Stationen sollen im Sommer 2024 eröffnet werden.

Der Inflation Reduction Act sorgt für Aufruhr in der Autoindustrie. Hiesige Unternehmen befürchten durch den IRA das Wegbrechen ihres Exportmarkts in Nordamerika. Das US-Gesetz und seine Folgen für die Branche. 

Tesla ist mit seinen um den Erdball verteilten Großfabriken eine Verkörperung von Effizienz in der Automobilproduktion. Welche Chancen haben traditionelle Hersteller? Müssen sie dem Beispiel des Herausforderers folgen, um nicht zu weichen?

Was steckt hinter dem Hype um Tesla? Die Strategien des US-Elektroautobauers sind oft ungewöhnlich und erfolgreich, werden aber auch kontrovers diskutiert. Zuletzt waren die Tesla-Zahlen schlechter als erwartet.

Steigt der Absatz von E-Autos, erhöht sich auch die Batterie-Nachfrage. Das erfordert wiederum den schnellen Bau von mehr Gigafactories. Was diese Gigafabriken wettbewerbsfähig macht, erläutert McKinsey-Experte Martin Linder im Interview.

Die Elektrifizierungswelle im Automobilbereich rollt weltweit, allerdings in den einzelnen Regionen unterschiedlich stark. Wer ist Vorreiter, wer folgt, und was sind die jeweiligen Treiber der Entwicklung?

This study focuses on the assessment of the factors affecting the adaptation of Hybrid/Electric Vehicles. The problem that arises when using conventional vehicles has some negative impacts on the environment (Greenhouse Gas emission), society (health issues), and economics (energy demand). There is a need to mitigate these effects by inducing a transportation mode with a fuel source of electricity and progressively reducing the use of gasoline. To find the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of the application of Hybrid/Electric Vehicles, the current research aims to explore potential factors that can be attributed to purchasing H/EVs to estimate their penetration in the U.S.

As the top two plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) markets in the world, China and the United States of  America (USA) have developed different market structures that are influenced by government policies, test procedures, customer acceptance, and vehicle performance. There are differences in PEV test procedures and vehicle class definitions as well. This paper quantifies such differences and compares PEV characteristics and markets in the two countries using actual data collected over several years.

In 2022, the US, for the first time in decades, passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is predicted to make significant strides to combatting global climate change. The US continues to confront a host of environmental issues that range from protecting the gray wolf in Wyoming and Montana, preventing drinking water contamination to endeavoring to preserve biodiversity and combating climate change. Although the environmental problems we confront are more complex than those in Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, the choices they present are no less stark. The following pages demonstrate how addressing challenges through the lens of environmental policy in the US.

More than 100 years ago, the vehicle with an internal combustion engine has been the winner of an intense (drivetrain) contest outpacing the horse-drawn carriage, the steam and especially the electric vehicle. The technical development of the starter and the rapid build-up and expansion of fuelling stations in combination with the low-cost Ford mass manufacturing system pave the way for mass motorization with fossil fuels in the 20th century. At the beginning of the 21st century a sustainable mobility solution is then considered to be successful when it achieves the acceptance of the public and (potential) customers and it can be commercialised through a sustainably value-creating business model. Studies measuring buying intentions with regards to all-electric vehicles exist in high numbers, but studies with regards to hydrogen engine vehicles do not yet exist. This is the first study measuring public and customer acceptance of the three most relevant (pollutant) emission-free driving technologies by social media data. The competition of emission-free vehicles offers new business opportunities for traditional and emerging OEMs. These bring many advantages to the (potential) customers of individual and sustainable mobility and the public in general. Indeed, it is a big green new deal for the global automotive industry.
