Clean<\/h4>\n

Electric vehicles (BEVs – Battery Electric Vehicles) will account for the majority of new registrations in many markets by 2030.
\nConsumer confidence in electric vehicles will be significantly boosted by increased range and reduced charging times.<\/p>\n

Charging infrastructure: Fast-charging stations (150–350 kW) are being rolled out nationwide, but grid stability remains a challenge for the future. Bidirectional charging will support this process.<\/p>\n

Intelligent<\/h4>\n

Autonomous driving will have a massive impact on the future.<\/p>\n
