The session focuses on the progress of Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption in Asia, covering both passenger vehicles (B2C) and enterprise fleets (B2B). It will explore the varying dynamics and maturity levels in the region, particularly between China (the leader), India (the follower), and Southeast Asia (emerging).

The discussion will start with consumer behavior and preferences in EV adoption, followed by the readiness of charging infrastructure and the latest offerings from OEMs, comparing new challengers with incumbents.

Additionally, the panel will address data-driven business models and digital ecosystems unique to EVs, examining the digital value chain and innovative financing and sales models.

As adoption accelerates in Asia, the panel will consider how new entrants in India and Southeast Asia can position themselves as domestic champions within the supply chain.

Lastly, we will look beyond EVs to autonomous mobility, drawing insights from China regarding its potential for shared transport and reducing road vehicle numbers.
