Global Automotive Sector - Analysis and Commentary - May 2022.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary
- Average electrical vehicle cost is over 55K
- More and more money is being invested in plug-in stations
- Electrical vehicle clean sources will depend on the source of electricity. Canada produces over 80% of its power from clean source as compared to EMEA that produces only about 50% of its power from clean sources
- China still dominates the battery market and continues to invest in mines in Africa and South America
Summary:
The United States posted its largest ever full-year trade deficit in the 12 months ending in December, according to data released by the Commerce Department on Tuesday, signaling continued strong economic growth and vibrant consumer demand as the country emerges from the recession induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The convergence of the Internet of Things and EnergyTom Raftery
Climate change is wreaking havoc on our planet. Electricity generation is responsible for a large part of oue CO2 emissions. Renewable energy can help reduce the carbon footprint of energy production but it has its own problems.
The Internet of Things can play a significant part in reducing the problems associated with integrating renewables into the electricity grid.
Low adoption of electrical cars
Lack of infrastructure (plug-in stations)
Battery life (mileage)
Ontario government policies
Electrical car sales are still only 2% despite Liberal government incentives
A performance audit needs to be done on charging stations
Liberals continue to mismanage moneys!

Identifying the key skill groups required with a focus on criticality and scarcity
• Building a stronger talent pool by developing networks that gathers internal and external market intelligence
• Engaging “passive” candidates by sharing information and content around current developments, thought leadership and organisational culture
• Managing skill shortage by keeping in touch with your losses
More and more countries are pushing electrical vehicles via subsidies. Little is discussed when it comes mining of rare metals or battery range or access to plug-in station or the fact that many countries generation their power from coal, natural gas, etc.
