According to a survey conducted by the German market consultancy Roland Berger and fka Automotive Technology Research, the annual "Electromobility Index" survey shows that Germany and France are dominant in this technology. In addition, despite the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market around the world, the market share is still quite low.
From the perspectives of technology, industrialization and market, the Electromobility Index regularly compares the seven most important automotive markets in the world and their competitive positions, including China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
According to the study, Germany is currently in a favorable position in the electric vehicle technology competition – a surprising result. After all, Tesla has shown many technological achievements in the United States, and the market penetration of French electric vehicles is also Relatively high. Wolfgang Bernhardt, senior partner and automotive market specialist at Roland Berger, explains: “The reason why Germany is leading the way is because it has increased product supply and expanded battery capacity.†A part of the product range and pure electric vehicles have been significantly expanded. . The French OEM's product portfolio is still small, and mainly covers the affordable small car market. Therefore, if the price-performance ratio, the French electric vehicle supplier is still second to none.
"This study shows that all regions of the world are intensively embarking on car electrification, but their respective priorities are different," commented fka consultant Alexander Busse. The price reduction of lithium-ion batteries and the innovation of next-generation batteries have enabled automakers to take advantage of product ranges with higher drive ranges to complement their product range and deficiencies.
These experts expect that government regulatory interventions to reduce emissions in the metropolitan area will help to promote the establishment of electric vehicles in the international market. For example, in London, Paris or Mexico, gasoline and even diesel engines may soon be banned. In addition, China has also announced statutory measures to establish a quota system for electric vehicles. Norway is discussing the possibility of completely banned fuel engines from 2025.
Another challenge facing automakers is the reliance of battery technology on certain raw materials such as lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt and graphite and their suppliers. For example, 95% of natural graphite is stored in China, and almost 50% of cobalt's global demand comes from the Congo. Most of the lithium must be drawn from Chile and Australia, and about two-thirds of the world's supply comes from both countries.
Therefore, the supply of raw materials and the production of batteries also constitute certain political crises. For example, 90% of China's electric vehicle market comes from locally produced lithium-ion batteries. As a result, Chinese manufacturers rank high in this study, including their share of global battery production. Therefore, China ranks among the best in the industrialization rankings, even leading the United States and Japan.
In China, sales of electric vehicles have more than doubled in the past year. Therefore, China has leapt to the second place in this market, second only to France, but the market share of electric vehicles in France continues to be higher than that of China, and it is growing at a rate of 50% per year.
However, the point is that the market share of hybrid and battery electric vehicles in France and China is only over 1%, which is still a fairly unsatisfactory percentage. Roland Berger analyst Thomas Schlick stressed that this market share has increased significantly in order to meet the fleet emission limits implemented in Europe since 2021. In order to increase consumer recognition of electric vehicles, Roland Berger recommends that OEMs focus on reducing the charging time for electric vehicles while also emphasizing better comfort. "To do this, we have to build a comprehensive range of fast charging infrastructure," Schlick said.

Place the LR44 batteries provided into the compartment in the back of the Remote Control, please insert as sho*/m in the back of the compartment to ensure the polarity is correct.
Programming Instructions
• Plug the Remoce Socket$($)lnto the wall socket(s) and switch on the mams supply, the red LED will flash every second.
• If the LED is not flashing press & hold the manual ON/OFF button for 5 seconds until it Hashes
•Press any ON switch on the Remote Control for approximately 2 seconds and the Remote Socket(s) learn the code. The LED will stop flashing top confirm the codehas been accepted.
• Any number of Remote Sockets can be programmed to one Remote Control ON button to create multiple switching.
• To programme o<her Remote Sockets on different Remote Control ON buttons repeat the prevous steps
• If the mains supply is turned off the Remote Sockets v/ill lose their code and it wil be necessary to re-pcogramme.
Operation:
• Plug your appliance(s) into the Remote Socket(s)
• Press the programmed ON or OFF button on the Remote Control to control the Remote Socket.
♦ The Remote Sockets can also be operated manually using its ON/OFF Button Trouble shooting
If a Remote Socket does not react to the Remote Control please check the followng:
♦ Low battery in tbo Remote Control
• Distance too large between the remote control and the recerver (ensure the range distance is no more than 20 clear Metres) and free from obstacle that may reduce the distance.
• If programming has not been successful, tum the power off and back on then follow the programming steps above.
