😬 More than 500k cars 🚗 from Chinese-Owned OEMs in the first half of 2025 in Europe! Registrations are up >30% YoY 📈! 👉 Let me know if you need chart as a PDF or high resolution version, just leave a comment! 👉 As always, just my personal perspective - add yours below! ➡️ The invasion of Chinese-owned 🇨🇳 car brands in Europe is seen as severe threat by global automotive giants and industry leaders 🚗. ➡️ Chinese OEMs like BYD, CHERY, XPENG, GEELY or NIO have to export their products as the domestic demand for the created production overcapacity is not strong enough. ➡️ ASEAN and Latin American markets have been selected as priority, next to Europe. I recommend to have an eye on Thailand 🇹🇭, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Mexico 🇲🇽 or Brazil 🇧🇷. ➡️ Imports in these countries are crazy high 😱, local production facilities are set up. Toyota Motor Corporation, Stellantis, General Motors and other OEMs with business and ambitions in the regions feel the heat 🔥. Here are the details of Chinese OEMs in Europe: ➡️ The growth story of the year 🌟: CHERY managed to grow from zero to >36k registered vehicles 🚗 within a year, focusing on affordable 🤑 ICEs in selected markets. Best example for it’s not all about BEVs and the largest markets. ➡️ Min 2️⃣x on country level: The customers in Spain 🇪🇸 and Poland seem to be very responsive to the portfolio of Chinese OEMs. Registrations soared by more than 100% in both countries. ➡️ Accelerated growth 🚀: The obvious suspects, BYD EUROPE, XPENG or Zeekr Europe quadruple the volume. BYD is leading by far distance, it’s on a good trajectory to surpass market leader MG. ➡️ MG Motor Europe is just growing by 20% YoY, a new lineup of vehicles could accelerate growth again 🤷♂️. ➡️GEELY brands like Polestar, Lynk & Co or Zeekr Europe are back on a growth track but the additional volume is not enough to offset the decline of Volvo Cars in Europe 😬. Order of counties is shifting: ➡️ UK 🇬🇧 continues to lead on volume and is still growing strong with a 50% YoY increase. No surprise, as MG Motor Europe might be seen as domestic UK 🇬🇧 brand. ➡️ Sweden 🇸🇪 leads on market share. Similar narrative as with MG in UK could be applied to GEELY brands and the heritage of the brands in Sweden. ➡️ Spain and Italy overtook Germany in volume and market share. Poland is becoming a major market for Chinese brands as well, volume is already on the level of France. Keep in mind, IAA MOBILITY is happening in September - expect for details on new models, markets and brands! Don't miss my presentation on September 9th at lunch time 🤩. #china #auto #car #automotive

Charging is about to get both faster and smarter - on the road and at home. From 2026, we will equip the Mercedes-Benz Charging Network in Europe and North America with Alpitronic’s HYC1000 ultra-fast chargers. These modular systems enable a total charging capacity of 1,000 kW at up to 800 amps, intelligently distributed across multiple charging points through smart load management. Individual charging points can provide up to 600 kW at 800 volts. For our drivers, this means extremely short charging times, for example, recharging the Mercedes-Benz CLA to add up to 325 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes.* Together with Alpitronic, we’re also developing a next-generation fast charger, inspired by our CONCEPT AMG GT XX, aiming for seamless charging experiences that set new industry standards. The findings from the latest charging milestone of more than one megawatt charging power achieved with the CONCEPT AMG GT XX are being incorporated directly into this development. This record was made possible via a single CCS cable supporting up to 1,000 amps. But our progress doesn’t end at the charging station. Also starting in 2026, our new generation of electric vehicles - beginning with the all-new electric GLC - will support bidirectional charging for home use. They will not only be able to take in electricity but also feed it into a home network or the public grid in a targeted manner. With MB.CHARGE Home, Mercedes-Benz is launching a digital charging ecosystem that actively involves customers in the energy market. The aim is to reduce energy costs for private households while contributing to grid stability. ______________________________ *Auf Basis der WLTP-Reichweite: Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ mit EQ Technologie [Energieverbrauch kombiniert: 14,1-12,2 kWh/100 km | CO₂-Emissionen kombiniert: 0 g/km | CO₂-Klasse: A] Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC mit EQ Technologie [Energieverbrauch kombiniert: 14,9-18,8 kWh/100 km | CO₂-Emissionen kombiniert: 0 g/km | CO₂-Klasse: A] Die Angaben sind vorläufig. Es liegen bislang weder bestätigte Werte von einer amtlich anerkannten Prüforganisation noch eine EG-Typgenehmigung noch eine Konformitätsbescheinigung mit amtlichen Werten vor. Abweichungen zwischen den Angaben und den amtlichen Werten sind möglich.

🚨 European Batteries: From Gold Rush to Reality Check More than five years ago, Europe entered the Gigafactory race. The path to electric mobility looked clear: we need batteries, and we want to make them ourselves. Now we witness blow after blow. Most recently: Porsche has officially pulled the plug on Cellforce - a project once hailed as a European flagship, officially recognized as Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). Fast forward to 2025, and the landscape looks very different: 1. Announced capacity vs. delivered reality – Europe’s 50+ projects have shrunk to a handful of serious local contenders 2. Competition has scaled massively – China holding most terawatt-hours in the pipeline, more than Europe and the US combined 3. Prices have collapsed – further 40% average cell price reduction in just five years, with LFP cell prices in China already going below the $50/kWh mark I was invited by Ken Davies to join the 50th edition of the Battery Technology Podcast to discuss: ⚡ How the commercial opportunity for European battery makers has shifted ⚡ What competitive really means — cost, scale, technology, supply chain ⚡ Why next-gen materials might not be a “revolution,” but part of a long technology funnel ⚡ Whether Europe can still build a globally competitive Gigafactory base ⚡ Where the remaining opportunities may lie — downstream value, application development, and circular business models 👉 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eGKxbpNn I do recommend the other insightful episodes No. 49 with Christopher Chico talking about the industry roadmap and No. 40 with David Leah's view on EV adoption. The big question: Can Europe catch up — or should we redefine what “success” looks like in the global battery race? 💡 I’d love to hear your perspective: Where should Europe focus - hold on to homegrown cell production, focus on downstream value creation, or just accept becoming an importer of batteries? #BatteryTechnology #EnergyStorage #Electromobility #Sustainability #BatteryEcosystem

#Hydrogen and #eFuels are about to reach the end of the third phase 'Trough of disillusionment' of the Gartner hype cycle. After a massive 'Peak of inflated expectations (second phase)' in 2020-2023, in which most countries have presented ambitious hydrogen strategies, we are back on a more realistic pathway. Just to remind everyone: in the RePowerEU strategy the European Commission wanted to go to twice 10 million tons of green hydrogen in 2030 (approx. 667 TWh). As a results hundreds of projects got announced. However, this development wasn't supported by mandatory regulations. The only regulations, which member states could agree on and where clear targets for the European transport sector are set, are ReFuelEU Aviation, FuelEUMartime and Renewable Energy Directive (RED). In a paper from 2023, we have shown that these targets will lead to a final demand of only 10-12 TWh in 2030 (https://lnkd.in/d-pZ6Z6E). As a consequence, many projects have been cancelled or are on hold. Fortunately, member states are implementing REDIII more ambitiously than they have to. We now have final legislations, ongoing consultations, drafts and leaks from 13 member states (Bulgaria 🇧🇬 is still missing in the graph). Finland 🇫🇮 goes to 4% RFNBOs (hydrogen based fuels) in 2030, Ireland 🇮🇪 2.5%, Spain 🇪🇸 2 % and France 🇫🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪 1.5 %. If we compare this to the forecasted fuel consumption of the EU Fit-for-55 scenarios, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 30 𝗧𝗪𝗵 𝗼𝗿 3 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗹-𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 2030. Germany requires already 60 million liter next year and wants to go to 12% in 2040. Continuously, we see more and more FIDs ('final investment decisions') in the refinery sector, which is one of the first use cases. Last week, Air Liquide announced FID to provide green hydrogen to TotalEnergies in Netherlands and Belgium (https://lnkd.in/dn3B6eVA). Later, repsol announced FIDs on three hydrogen projects in the next 10 months (https://lnkd.in/dxcw82uj). We already have investments by Shell in Rhineland and bp in Lingen. I'm confident that more projects will reach FID in the upcoming months and we are entering the fourth phase 'Slope of enlightenment'. However, we could do much more and restrictive production rules are challenging the market uptake. Member states and the European Commission could do more to speed up the process.
