What is the EV & Battery Service research methodology?

Our forecasts are based on robust and informed methodologies that look at the interactions between different functions in the supply chain. We track the following variables that impact the forecast: - Legislation and incentives - OEM strategy - Battery manufacturers’ capital investment and battery chemistry strategy - Battery raw material pricing and costs - Charging infrastructure investment - Electric Vehicle cost of ownership and consumer behaviour - For each vehicle model we collect data relating to battery pack size, battery chemistry, cell format, number of cells, and pack supplier in addition to a number of other vehicle metrics. The EV Sales Database is updated on an ongoing basis through both primary and desk research, covering the latest insights into EV and battery technology, tracking models across all major vehicle classes This EV Production Forecast draws upon our EV and Battery Database with production location assigned to each model by country in our EV production matrix, as well as our OEM sales forecast and regional sales forecast. The production outlook integrates future model lines, current EV manufacturing facilities, utilisation rates, future plant construction, and existing plant conversions to establish locations in which automakers will be manufacturing vehicles.
