The Automobile Market in the early 1900’s • In 1900, there were a total of 2,370 automobiles in New York, Chicago, and Boston • Electric vehicles had 28% market share of the 4,192 cars produced in the US. • There were some 12 manufacturers of electric vehicles in the US (Whitney, Pope, Baker) • In 1906, Baker Electric made 800 electric cars, making them the largest electric vehicle maker in the world Past Present Future
So Who Killed The Electric Car… the first time around? Past Present Future
The Cause of Death Has been Determined • Henry Ford & the Model T assembly line • Discovery of Texas crude oil in 1901 • Invention of the electric starter • Lack of the necessary widespread infrastructure needed for recharging • Highways brought about the need for longer–range vehicles Past Present Future

The RG Model: Dissecting the EV (Technology) • 3 Forms of EV • BEV (purely electric, zero emission) • HEV (hybrid with extended range due to gasoline supplement) • PHEV (plug-in hybrid combines some benefits of both) • Advantages • Efficient energy conversion (captures 80% mechanical energy vs. 25% -- 3x the distance) • Silent and smoother ride • Electric motors require less maintenance • Long run cost savings (affordance) • Government incentives Past Present Future
The RG Model: Dissecting the EV (Technology) • Challenges • Driving range (based on battery limitations) • Recharge time (up to 8 hours) • Battery cost • Initial purchase price (affordance) • Consumer misconceptions • Exploding battery myth • Flimsy and unsafe • Underpowered Past Present Future Tesla Roadster (Supercar Redefined) Source: http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster/ • 288 hp @ 5000-6000 rpm. 215 kWh.

Multiple Strategies “All in” – complete line by 2012 Past Present Future Renault-Nissan Alliance More conservative - one production model
Multiple Strategies From niche market to mass production Past Present Future Will mass production be the beginning of the end for gas-power vehicles?
Overcoming objections: Battery range • New designs: • Gasoline-powered battery generators Past Present Future • “LifeDrive” concept lightweight bodies
Getting help: Incentives, open innovation • Government incentives: • Pushing companies to move into market now in order to take advantage of these incentives • But, majority of automakers believe EVs will still be too expensive for mass market for next 5 years. • However, 68% are entering into strategic alliances with others in value chain. Past Present Future
Getting help: Incentives, open innovation • Seeing trends towards open innovation models to reduce costs, spread risk • Evolution of the current value chain - opening up potential for others to lead with technology innovation • Potential to disrupt currenttraditional markets (oil change centers, suppliers, etc.) • Creating opportunityfor new support services Past Present Future
The EV market: What can be learned? • Innovative technologies never really die, they can stay dormant and activate when conditions are right • Adoption of Innovative technology requires that internal and external factors are aligned • Without the right infrastructure, EVs will not reach full market adoption • The bigger the innovation, the longer it takes to adopt • New innovations can be disruptive and create opportunities at the same time Past Present Future
Getting help: Incentives, open innovation • Infrastructure? • New opportunities for revenue at local level (re-charge stations) • Standardizationfor automation (new technology opportunities) Past Present Future
