4 Oil price trend Significant variation in oil price during last two decades Rapid recovery following the 2008 economic recession Strong US dollar, OPEC unwilling to stabilize oil markets, oversupply, and declining demand reasons for price drop in 2015 Sources: [1] The oil crunch a wake-up call for the UK economy, Second Report of the UK Industry Taskforce of Peak Oil and Energy Security, Feb [2]

6 Battery energy density trend 100 kwh battery 500 km range (Tesla S P100D) 100 kwh 125 Wh/kg 800 kg (2000) 100 kwh 200 Wh/kg 500 kg (2010) 100 kwh 270 Wh/kg 370 kg (today) Physicochemical limit: 400 Wh/kg Source: [1] J. Janek and W. G. Zeler, A solid future for battery development, Nature Energy, vol. 1, no. 9, 2016.

7 Battery cost trend 100 kwh 800 USD/kWh 720 ksek (2010) 100 kwh 200 USD/kWh 180 ksek (today) 100 kwh 100 USD/kWh 90 ksek (2020 hinted by Elon Musk) Sources: [1] B. Nykvist and M.

8 Vehicle fleet trends During , the no. of EVs+PHEVs almost doubled every year Today, around 1 billion passenger cars and maybe 2 billion at 2035 Source: [1] Global EV outlook 2016, OECD/IEA 2016.

9 Vehicle fleet trends Global automotive executive survey Yearly survey since survey: 907 automotive executives from 43 countries Year % 8% Year 2030 Year % 25% 25% 30% ICE Hybrid BEV ICE Hybrid BEV FCV ICE Hybrid BEV FCV 24% 24% 26% 90% 24% Source: [1] Market share

10 Vehicle fleet trend Family with three children Today: conventional petrol ICE Rather spend larger share of income on housing costs than on an environmentally friendly vehicle Next car, likely a used diesel

11 Summary of part 1/2 Battery costs have dropped significantly during the last five years or so The electrification of the vehicle fleet is starting now EVs and PHEVs will (at least) be a small, but significant, share of the worlds vehicle fleet within 10 years

13 Neodymium oxide price trend During Jan-June 2011, the price of Neodymium increased five times From June-August 2017, the price doubled (not included in the graph). Sources: [1] Metal pages ( ), [2] Industrial minerals ( ) [3] Statista - The Statistics Portal, Nov ( )

14 Swedish automotive manufacturers How Volvo Cars, CEVT and NEVS will succeed will depend on how the Geely brand and NEVS succeed in China To what extent can this be affected in Sweden?

15 Global automotive executive survey % of executives believe the share of vehicles manufactured in Western Europe will be less than 5 % by 2030, with production moving in large part to Asia Leading e-mobility company by BMW (21%) 6. Ford (5%) 2. Tesla Motors (15%) 7. VW (5%) 3. BYD (7%) 8. Hyundai (4%) 4. Toyota (5%) 9. Daimler (4%) 5. Honda (5%) 10. GM (3%) If production takes place in Asia but engineering remains For how long?

16 Students admitted to Civ.Ing Elektroteknik : Antal antagna : Förstahandssökande How can Swedish electrical engineering remain competitive if Swedish universities continue to fail to recruit a sufficient number of good Swedish students? Source: [1]

17 29 graduated MSc theses 5% 24% 28% 45% 50% Sweden Europe except Sweden Outside Europe Sweden Europe except Sweden Outside Europe 48% Nationality (29/29 students) Location of first job (22/29 replies) While Sweden benefits substantially of international students starting working in Sweden, is it enough?

18 An academic s reality in today 21 HP in university pedagogics Constructive alignment Flip the classroom Clickers Teaching in a subject perspective How can we attract good Swedish students if we don t put more resources on course content development?

19 Summary of part 2/2 How (Chinese and German owned) Swedish automotive will succeed is strongly dependent on China s actions How Geely (and NEVS) succeeds in China Swedish graduated electrical engineers are vital when the vehicle fleet should be electrified How can they remain competitive if our universities fail to recruit sufficiently many good students? Advanced courses provide necessary competence to graduated engineers How can these courses remain updated if too little resources are spent on actual course development?
