Report spotlights the contenders of today and ideas of tomorrow
Summary
While focusing on e-mobility companies that operate in the UK, the trends-led analysis also examines their status on an international stage using four core metrics: • Ambition & potential – level of commitment to driving the mobility energy transition • Innovation – ability to create new ideas, products, and technologies • Momentum – the necessary impetus to move the business forward in a highly competitive environment. The Grimsby-based brand has enjoyed a near 200% jump in sales over three years on the back of its ground-breaking product range (including a new smart home battery) designed to place homeowners in reach of "their own energy ecosystem"; an enticing prospect in cash-strapped times. Our E40 top five is rounded off by eVTOL pioneer Vertical Aerospace – which recently toasted the maiden flight for its “ultra-short-haul” electric aircraft, the VX4 prototype – and another new entrant, EV car manufacturer Polestar. Fresh from a £110m funding round, the company is fronting flagship partnerships everywhere from Surrey to New York City – where it’s been selected for a ground-breaking pilot to help drive EV adoption among New Yorkers without private driveways. David Mitchell says: “More than ever, the industry’s leading EV voices need to work in tandem – with other manufacturers, energy suppliers, and site owners, but also via government and academia – to overcome significant hurdles, and cater to a huge incoming spike in interest from individuals and fleets.
