BYD is set to overtake Tesla in annual global BEV sales this year as their intensifying rivalry drives down medium-term BEV prices, residual values and profits. Potential government changes may delay the phaseout of ICE, with one-third of respondents in our BI buyers survey opposed the EU’s ICE ban from 2035. Only the fittest BEV pure plays will survive as demand cools in the West and punitive tariffs on BEVs imported from China distort global competition. China continues to lead the EV transition amid intense and unsustainable price competition. Against this backdrop, Bloomberg has developed content that can provide new industry specific insights on the status, outlook and implications for the industry, all the way through to financial viability models for auto manufacturers and suppliers.  

Longer term, the trend is more positive as Battery technology continues to develop at a rapid pace, with record low prices and new innovations hitting the market. The BloombergNEF team will discuss the outlook for lithium-ion batteries and the implications for the electric vehicle sector, including the adoption of range-extended plug-in hybrids.

There will be a detailed analysis of the findings by Bloomberg Intelligence’s Global Head of Automotive Research, Mike Dean and by the Bloomberg New Energy Finance's Head of Clean Transport, Colin McKerracher.
