In the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, discussions have been taking place between industry leaders and policymakers regarding the future of automakers and consumers, particularly in relation to battery-electric vehicles.
At the heart of these discussions is Ed Kim, President of AutoPacific—a leading research and analysis firm in the auto industry. Kim is providing insights on the best battery-electric vehicles currently on the market, as well as those expected to hit showrooms in 2025.
While the nature of these meetings is not detailed, it is known that they involve the industry's chief lobbyist and AutoPacific's product planning leaders. The discussions are not limited to the present but extend to the future of automakers and consumers, focusing on both present and future battery-electric vehicles.
AutoPacific's role in these meetings is not explicitly stated, but it is worth noting that the firm conducts trend analysis, product quality analysis, and contributes to the design process in the auto industry. However, these specific tasks are not mentioned in the context of the current discussions.
It's important to note that these discussions do not involve WardsAuto Senior Editor David Kiley. Despite extensive search results, no information was found specifically addressing Ed Kim's predictions for the future of automakers and battery-electric vehicles, nor any discussion involving Kiley.
As we look towards the future, the automotive industry continues to evolve, with battery-electric vehicles playing an increasingly significant role. The discussions between AutoPacific and other industry leaders provide a glimpse into the direction the industry may be headed, but further details and specific predictions remain to be seen.
