Contact Us

A holistic view of electrification

The EV value chain encompasses everything from upstream to downstream, raw materials to dealerships, charging stations, EV component recycling, and more. The transition to electric will impact everything an OEM, supplier, investor, or other auto stakeholder touches. Your strategy needs to go well beyond just the battery — creating a holistic strategy requires informed analysis, data-fueled insights, and a comprehensive outlook on the state of the industry. That's why we developed our EV value chain projections, models, and other insights to help you navigate the complex EV landscape.
