EV retail

With almost one in every five cars sold in 2023 fully electric, EVs are no longer a niche market.

The 14 million new electric cars registered represented a 35% uplift from 2022, with analysts predicting that, worldwide, 17 million more new EVs were on the road in 2024

Sales are highly concentrated, with 95% completed in just three markets, China (60%), Europe (25%), and the United States (10%).  The growth in the global EV retail market is impacted by numerous domestic factors too. These include differences in national governments’ laws, regulations and subsidies, local supply chain and charging infrastructure challenges, and varying levels of cultural acceptance. Communication of EV’s overall value proposition, the concept of mobility and total cost of ownership, has been inconsistent.

But the long-term trajectory towards a future in which EVs dominate is unstoppable. It’s an industry bursting with innovation, new business models and an energy that reflects the vital role it plays in slowing down the impacts of climate change. ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ is playing its part in this dynamic sector too, providing consulting and services for a diverse range of stakeholders, from the major global manufacturers to the brightest start-ups.

A new approach to EV load management

What we do

We support new market entrants, from strategy to launch, to operational execution

The global commitment to the energy transition provides tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurs to bring innovative business models to market, offering customers new ways to acquire and run EVs.  But where do you sell?  How do you sell, and how do you build and support the experience process?

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ is working with established entrants such as Fisker, Polestar and Lucid, as well as other, more recent start-ups destined to take their place in this dynamic marketplace. Our earliest engagements are often around business process and operating model design. We establish the best data and technology platform, for business operations, demand management, supply chain, marketing, sales and the customer experience. We identify the skills mix required for success and growth, and create go-to-market strategies and revenue models, reflecting the myriad range of ownership options now available.
For customers at advanced stages of development, we’re supporting them to make vital decisions around new go-to-market models, warehousing and service center locations, and supply chain and logistics ecosystems, with the consumer experience the top priority. We apply global EV and wider automative expertise to future-proof success

In one of the global economy’s newest and fastest moving sectors, there are limitless opportunities for entrepreneurs to achieve business success at a rapid pace. However, with these exciting developments comes volatility, with many traditional commercial, operating and ownership models being overturned.

Our industry experts at ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ support EV retailers around the world to navigate this constantly evolving landscape, drawing on extensive EV and broader automotive experience, from strategy to execution. We support organizations to understand and consider their options, helping them to make smart, informed decisions now, to give them the agility and flexibility to future-proof their business model and craft and deliver world-class customer experiences.

At ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ our work with EV retailers is influenced by our own deep commitments to environmental responsibility and sustainability. These fundamental beliefs and ways of working inform our worldclass EV retail consultancy and services, drive industry best practice and accelerate the achievement of our collective Net Zero goals.

We research, engage, influence and collaborate at all levels, from working with global intergovernmental organizations to supporting some of our most exciting start-ups, helping to bring the next wave of EV innovation to market as fast and as eco-friendly as possible.
