The Importance of Battery Technology in Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle sales are gaining momentum around the world, ushering in the end of the internal combustion era. On today’s episode, Dana speaks with Colin McKerracher, BNEF’s Head of Advanced Transport, about his team’s newest Electric Vehicle Outlook. Delving into electrification, shared mobility and autonomous driving (among other factors), the annual report considers how road transport will evolve in the coming decades – and what these changes could mean for the automotive, energy, infrastructure and battery-materials markets. 

Together, Dana and Colin dive into this flagship publication, considering policy changes and the pace of global EV adoption, the speed bumps that still face e-trucking and the advances in tech that could pave the road to net zero. 

BNEF's Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook 2023 can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal, on bnef.com or on the BNEF mobile app. A publicly available executive summary can also be found here:  https://www.bnef.com/flagships/ev-outlook
