Three questions to José Baghdad, Partner, Automotive Leader @PWC

As part of our focus on electric vehicles during the month of October, we're glad to launch a new series of "short and sweet" interviews with dedicated experts. So, every Wednesday, you'll have the opportunity to spend 15min with an expert and learn from her/him.

To start the series, we've invited José Baghdad, Partner, Automotive Leader at PWC France to talk about the readiness of the EV market, as part of the publication of their latest study on the subject:

• How to convert the current investments made by OEMs in significant revenue pools?
• How to differentiate EV-owners and EV-prospects?
• To what extend the B2B segment is a fast-growing market?

This study aims to provide perspectives on the short-term development of the e-mobility business in 4 major EU markets:

• Over the past few years, OEMs have made significant investments in the electrification of vehicles, but they have not yet converted into significant revenue pools due to still limited demand for electric vehicles (EV) across the EU.
• To cope with these challenges, OEMs and the whole automotive downstream value chain need to get ready to embrace market opportunities that will ensue from the ramp-up of electric vehicles in the short run.
