Magna is an impressively diversified automotive supplier that is growing at double digit rates. It’s the only traditional auto supplier in the world that manufactures cars for automakers. In fact, it can even do full vehicle development. On Autoline This Week, CEO Don Walker talks about Magna’s involvement in ride hailing, autonomy and electrification. And why all the startups are knocking on Magna’s door.

"how do you define an electric vehicle." No ICE at all is how you do it. As for selling them, match tesla on price, charging speed, range, and charging network or don't expect to sell much at all. You need all 4 to succeed. Without a charging network and +120kw charging, your EV is short range even if it has 250mi. If you cannot take a trip without adding a ton of charge time, it is not long range.

Guys, the math has been done, and THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT, that no matter how you produce the electricity to charge an electric car, the equivalent in gas is much more "dirty" and damaging to the environment when you compare it to that electric car. So what the Magna CEO is saying is completely wrong. This is not a matter of choice, this is a matter of saving the planet. But that's OK, while ICE car companies, and guys like the Magna CEO keep on resisting, companies like Tesla will keep on growing at an amazing speed. People DO want electric cars, and traditional companies better pray that Tesla doesn't hit the $100 per Kw/hr any time soon, because that may very well be the end of traditional companies.

When Sandy Munro tore down the Tesla Model Y a few months back his people did a cost analysis for the cells used in the car (materials and manufacturing cost). What they found is that those cells cost $82/kWh to produce. BYD has also passed through the $100/kWh barrier.

The thing he is missing is the price drop on solar and wind electricity he also misses that batteries will go the same way. That is how the cost will drop and how the consumers will get lower cost for transportation in the end. But they are investing in the right area and they will see a faster growth than he has expected in BEVs.

Electricity from new wind and solar farms now costs less than paying for fuel in a paid off coal or gas plant. Coal is dropping rapidly, natural gas is falling but slower than coal. But now that large scale battery storage is taking off gas is going to lose market faster. He also said something like a few years until EVs take 3% of the market. Tesla is just under 2% in the US now and their output will more than double over the next year as Austin comes online and ramps.

In the end the car industry itself will need to fight actively to cut ties to petrol, refinerys and wars about crude oil - but make firm committments to the future use of solar and renewables etc. instead. See: the car industry needs to understand in the heads of the management and leading people that they will within twenty thirty years from now alone will be as important as oil, gas and car- industry are today together. Today the oil and gas industry is pivot and predominant - and the car industry is just the customer - it will not stay that way. The oil and gasindustrie will vanish and the car industry - with all the total services the car and the mobility will provide. to society in future - we will be travelling as if we would be inside our mobile phone - will be pivot instead. (1) And we should have smart leadership in the politics to see that this is necessary, and that we need to transition quicker and better than other competitors like china. The military industrial complex in its current form and the oil- and gas industry in their current form will not survive. We're only free to choose between peaceful and non-peaceful transition. The typewriter Industrie is dead as well. 1 - think of electricity, movie theaters, hollywood films. What is important? Who is making the money? The content providers are making the money, the electricity you can buy anywhere. The oil and gasindustrie today is already dead, they have just not yet realized. 2 - If America wants to survive as the leading nation of the world it needs to lead the transition - and not fight it. Cause on the other, future side of transition there will be an ongoing worldculture as well.

The thing with a pure BEV and a PHEV is that in a BEV, you will not use the entire capacity of the battery. You never go to empty. If you have a 100 mile range, you would use 80 is at most, before you go recharge. In a PHEV, you'll use the entire battery and then recharge. So far, this is what I've notices among PHEV owners: 20 mile battery = getting gas once a month, 30 mile = every 2 months, 40 miles = every 4 months. I don’t have data for the BMW i3 Rex (70 or 100 EV miles) - I suspect you would get gas once or twice a year.

Why have the extender then? Having it means more maintenance costs and higher CO2 emissions. It's the worst of all worlds.

@bobwallace9753 2 жыл бұрын

PHEVs simply are not cost competitive with pure EVs. We're going to see some companies producing PHEVs because they can't get enough batteries to go heavily into EVs and they're trying to squeeze a bit more revenue out of their ICE/transmission plants. But EVs are reaching manufacturing price parity with ICEVs (PHEVs are more expensive) and we should expect a major market flip by 2025.

A full EV is so efficient that it uses less electricity than an equivalent ice car uses just to refine the fuel it uses.

@MarkGarnettUK 5 жыл бұрын

Greg Collins I too heard a lot of electricity is used refining oil into petrol/gasoline, do you have any sources that have numbers we can use? My response to those who point out the grid is not clean is 1) even if dirty the efficiency of EV still means lower emissions (your point really), 2) grid is getting cleaner every year so old EVs get cleaner each year (never heard of an ICE car getting cleaner as it ages) and of course 3), consumers can opt to buy clean electricity or even generate their own off the roof.

@bobwallace9753 2 жыл бұрын

There's some truth to that. But today's EVs charged off a grid that's heavily coal still results in a lower carbon footprint than an ICEV. And cost is dying rapidly. In 2007 the US got 49% of its electricity from coal. In 2020 the US got 19% of its electricity from coal.

Really skeptical of this guy the efficiency of a coal plant is higher than driving an ICE around through all its uncomfortable rev spots therefore electric motor with near perfect efficiency can take advantage of any power plants far higher efficiency albeit you can maybe argue what specific pollutants come into play but idk how far his reasoning extends. As far as the shared mobility and public transportation goes I don't buy it. Lets say 10 percent of Americans use public transportation while an autonomous car can easily serve way more than 10 people but let's call it 10 then the additional vehicles would only increase by 1 percent while dropping far faster from people ditching their cars for a truly autonomous ride-sharing service albeit you can argue on how long that will take.

Take a look at biodiesel, renewable can be used in long haul trucking.. Infrastructure exists. Can be implemented immediately with marginal costs.

@JamesBrown-ux9ds 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for redirecting me to this point again - and we may like it or not, even if this comment 'about the diesel engine' would be fishing for compliments with the existing customers and the existing managements there, we have to admit that up to now any car demands it's fuel, electric or diesel or whatever. And the oil- and gas industry as providers and middlemen between wells and cars are still much more affected then the car industry. The car industrie just changes the motor, but the oil industry in its current size goes bust, no longer required. So we should expect them behind closed doors to put pressure both on government and the existing car industrie to at least achieve a smooth transition. So from a CEO point of view saying some nice words about diesel was serving his company best: thats what should be considerd to be the right man at the right place - well done! By the way, could we imagine some sort of 'war about oil' delaying the transition to electric vehicles? Not realy? In the end it should be up to the American people to decide about war and peace, and not an industrie to do instead. The US oil-and gas industry ist not America, it's not even the world.

@@joeyscleaninglady2877 Possibly could run long haul trucking on biodiesel, but you'd need to get diesel out of plant production. Right now the diesel avoided on the road with biodiesel is used to grow, harvest, and transport the biodiesel. But all that's a moot point. Tesla has the long haul solution.
