Plugging into the Future – Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility in 2022 and beyond

Scene Setting Keynote

The automotive industry is pivoting away from traditional revenue streams and looking to deploy EV product lines. A space that traditionally has had large barriers to entry, now automotive manufacturing is seeing start-ups going head-to-head with established players. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), by 2025, around 20% of all vehicles on the road in Southeast Asia will be electric, with around 60 million two- and three-wheelers and 10 million four-wheel vehicles. How can the region reap the benefits of mobility electrification and extend their footprint into EV and battery production?

Scaling Southeast Asia’ Charging Infrastructure

Panel Session

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads is expected to increase noticeably over the next decade. To accommodate them, the energy sector needs to plan for increased domestic consumption at off-peak times for overnight charging. In addition, to avoid placing a bottleneck onto EV adoption, strong charging access at places such as residences and office buildings is imperative. In addition, convenient charging outside of one’s house (or job) will be critical to EV expansion. Such “on-the-go” charge-ups will have to be as simple as fueling an ICE vehicle today. Thus, encouragement for large retailers and shared mobility providers to invest in charging infrastructure is necessary. On the 2-wheelers front, it is crucial to develop a common battery standard to enable battery-swapping for 2-wheelers. In this panel, esteemed experts will look at the technologies (AC, DC and wireless), scenarios of Asia closing its charging gap, and the collaborative efforts need to resolve it.

Threats and Opportunities from E-Mobility for Auto Parts Manufacturers in Southeast Asia

Keynote

The adoption of electric vehicles in Southeast Asia is accelerating. Along with it, there are changes in the competitive landscape among automakers and in the supply chain. As a result, Southeast Asian ICE component manufacturers who represent a multi-billion dollar industry - that gives employment to hundreds of thousands of people in the region - will find it increasingly more difficult to maintain the status quo.
In this presentation, we will show that a shift to electric vehicles, and fully electric vehicles in particular, will further accelerate. However, the transition to e-mobility is not only a threat but also a big opportunity for component manufacturers that will take the right actions.

Critical Success Factors for Southeast Asia to Accelerate Its Ascent as the Next Global EV & Automotive Hub

Panel Session

Increasingly, we are seeing more and more global automotive companies choosing Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Indonesia as their next EV manufacturing hub. The ASEAN local EV production and supply chain is witnessing vibrant innovation. In this panel, these innovative shifts will be explored, along with the insights into navigating the factory re-location to the region.

Developing a Sustainable Supply Chain for the ASEAN EV Revolution

Panel Session

Some ASEAN countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines have one of the largest reserves of crucial elements in the manufacturing of EV batteries, as well as developed automotive manufacturing industry. Thus, governments of ASEAN have announced plans to leapfrog into an important base for EV as well as EV batteries manufacturing.

At the same time, the EV industry will need many lithium-ion batteries to electrify many of the world's automobiles in the coming years. And that will need the development of entirely new sources and methods for locating, extracting, and processing battery elements like lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

These minerals are currently mined from under the earth's surface. For humanitarian or environmental reasons, the mining process might be challenging at times. Fortunately, battery titans, tech startups, EV producers, investors, and politicians are all refocusing their efforts on finding new and sustainable battery sources.

This panel will tackle the latest developments in exploring and mining sustainable battery materials, and how new frameworks for deploying, reusing and recycling sustainable battery materials will look like. Despite its early stage, the development of circular and sustainable EV batteries will be paramount to both the mobility and energy revolution.

The Role of Electric 2-Wheelers in the Future of Mobility in Southeast Asia

Keynote

In many Asian countries, 2-wheelers are traditionally the transport method of choice for most households. In addition, the rise of ride-hailing and e-commerce has created a new business case for 2-wheelers. Given this strong demand, moving from internal combustion to electric 2-wheelers has the potential to massively improve the air quality of Asia’s megacities, fulfill countries’ climate change targets and achieve many other far-reaching benefits.

In this keynote, esteemed experts will examine what the future holds for electric 2-wheelers: which markets have the most room for market expansion, and which key factors will decide the eventual success or failure of electric 2-wheelers adoption in Asia.

Hydrogen Mobility – Can Asia be the Pioneer?

Panel Session

Battery electric vehicles are making headlines, but fuel cells are gaining momentum. Hydrogen could play a vital role in the future mobility system, especially as green hydrogen gains ground. With their high performance and fast refueling time, hydrogen-powered vehicles can complement other types of EV to achieve a broad decarbonization of the mobility sector, especially in the heavier and long-range segments. In this panel, experts will share their insights on the priority use cases, and how the industry, investors and policy makers can step up their their efforts to advance the development of hydrogen and fuel-cell technology.
