China & Rare Resources

Electric Cars – Today

Future of Electric Cars

Pros & Cons

Contents

Extreme growth of population ,

economy and wealthrising need and demand for mobility need for more and more energy!

Today: 70 % of energy from coal environmental problems!

CHINA's Ambitions

New energy-infrastructureNuclear-stations

Increase also renewable energy

China’s government wants:energy consumption per capita -20%

BUT:per capita income from 1.000 $ to 3.000

$

CHINA's Ambitions

Reduction of CO2 –EmissionsReduce old coal-fired stations

Development of electric vehicles

China’s resourcesBest requirements to get the leader in the

development of electric cars

Biggest resources of rare-earth Used for the electric motors

Used for the battery in electric cars

CHINA's Ambitions

Government wants position of market leadership

Investments of about € 11,7 billionFor each e-car sold: 6.700 € subsidy !!!Big research: BYD

250 km per chargemonthly savings of 788 €charge takes only 20 minutes

China & Electric Cars

Advantages of China:Key skills concerning e-cars in AsiaRaw materials for battery production in China

availableCheap production possible

(salaries, production sites, …)Expert knowledge

China & Electric Cars

Critical MaterialsMetals which are used in manufacturing wind

turbines, electric vehicles, solar cells and energy-efficient lighting

China produces 95% of the world supplyChina cut back the export rate dramaticallyChina has an enormous demand

Growth of the high-tech industry

World wide: Car industry needs the rare - earth

China & Rare Resources

Extremely big market of electric cars

Electric cars are the future!Market leader in electric cars and hybrid cars

Enormous subventions from the government

Many big researches:Electric cars as taxiElectric busTesting the batteries for kilometers an load

volume

Developement of Electric Cars in China

• Wide range of different motor types• Every big car producer: electric car projects• discussion about Climate Change and

Emissions spotlight the electric car as a solution for rising needs for mobility

• Especially fast growing economies and populations !!!

CHINA in the Focus

Electric Vehicles - Today

global growth of personal wealth and population rise in need for mobility environmentally friendly alternatives inevitable !!!

very good alternative : E-CARS!!!in combination with new energy systems and

smart grids (V2G) big potentials!!!China’s government initiative promoting

electric cars spread of e-mobility in China nearly guaranteed

Future of Electric Cars

Much higher efficiency compared to combustion engines (up to 90 % )

Electric Vehicles – Pros …

Efficiency just ~ 25 %

No emissions during operation

Possibility for renewable electricity production

Big potential to change energy system!!

Especially in combination with “Vehicle to Grid”- Systems (V2G)

Electric Vehicles – Pros …

Higher PricesKnowledge deficits of mechanics & garage

densityLimited Range (only up to 240 km)Additional weight through batteriesLong recharging timeOutsourcing of negative effects (!!!)Not (yet) available infrastructure:

specific parking lots for each car needed!

Electric Vehicles - Cons

Thank You for Your Attention!!!!
