Bridging The Gap Between Persistent Myths And New Realities: J.D. Power Stress Tests Electric Vehicle Ownership Experience

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0700

“There’s no question the number of charging stations, particularly those with direct current fast charging (DCFC) capabilities, is a mere fraction of the number of gas stations. But based on my experience, the existing charging network is actually pretty well right-sized to the EV car park right now. The good news is that the infrastructure continues to grow, which it definitely needs to do to help facilitate the transition from early to mass adoption.” – Stewart Stropp, J.D. Power

EV Consideration Study from J.D. Power Illustrates Need for More Information & Transparency to Increase Adoption

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0700

Now that we’re well into 2022, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining tangible traction in the auto market. Ongoing product launches, infrastructure build-out, policy change and rising gas prices are greasing the ramp-up in consumer interest.

But significant work lies ahead if the industry wants to accelerate the transition from early to mass adoption of EVs. A lack of information on the value and ownership propositions has left a large swath of new-vehicle shoppers reticent to make the electric leap.

Solving Critical Engineering Challenges for Electric Vehicles

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 11:05:01 -0700

Modern manufacturers are rewriting the rules of vehicle operation as they shift from manual, mechanical platforms to autonomous, electric ones.

A few of the innovations include:

High-performance propulsion systems driven by densely packed battery arrays.
Autonomous and safety systems powered by complex radar and vision systems.
Vehicle connectivity through machine-to-machine communication with powerful antennas and sensors.

These new systems present tremendous challenges for engineering.

Manufacturers are looking to resolve big problems with many variables, like boosting battery life and capacity, raising the power generated from electric motors, avoiding thermal runaway of battery fires after a crash, and testing complex radar and vision systems.

Simulation can help you gain an accurate view of which design variables affect performance. But enabling early, frequent, and pervasive analyses of physics to see which satisfies the requirements in these electrification scenarios is no simple task.

Most organizations use a disjointed and manual approach involving a cobbled-together combination of spreadsheets, documents, shared drives, computer-aided design (CAD) applications, and simulation tools.

You are left with a high probability of inaccuracies due to manual entry and propagation of revisions, unclear requirements, and no connectivity between tools. You also have no controlled process to share near real-time information with engineers in other disciplines, such as in electrical and electronics.

In the end, you end up with multiple rounds of revisions, project delays, and costly errors. You can lose hours, if not days or even weeks, of your time and productivity while missing the product release deadline.

Digital Design Simulation is a powerful tool to help you uncover solutions to all of these challenges. With this process you can make a significant difference in creating optimized designs. But instead of just telling you, let's walk you through the process.

How to Reduce Health Insurance Costs by Up To 7 Figures Overnight

Wed, 21 Aug 2019 14:05:01 -0700

SPEAKERS:

Russ Carpel, CEO & Founder of LevelFunded Health
Moderator: Mary Beth Vander Schaaf, Managing Editor, Automotive News

LevelFunded Health (LFH) educates mid market companies how in any one given year, roughly 70% of all mid market employs grossly overpay for health insurance and leave anywhere from $100,000 to $2,000,000 on the table, essentially padding their health insurance carrier’s bottom line. This is done at the expense of their own pocketbooks and puts undue strain on an employer’s ability to attract and retain its human capital.

LFH is an expert in dramatically reducing health insurance expenses for middle market employers nationwide, while simultaneously improving medical benefits. LFH will educate employers on how this is possible and why their current health insurance broker and carrier don’t want them to know about it.

Attend this webinar to learn:

How to reduce health insurance costs by 6 to 7 figures overnight
What types of commercial health insurance products exist in the marketplace
What other mid market employers are doing to curb health insurance costs and strengthen their benefits package to acquire and retain top human capital

3 Ways to Get Your Message in Front of Auto Buyers Across All Screens

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 11:20:01 -0700

In fact, audiences are consuming only slightly less TV than last year (and TV is still the most-watched media device, by a long-shot). The reality is that your current and potential customers are consuming more media than ever before. They’re just using multiple screens and devices to do so, layering on digital and mobile media on top of their TV consumption.

In our fragmented-media world, it’s essential to keep your brand identity consistent, no matter where consumers encounter it. With the following three key principles in mind, you can make divided attention spans work in your favor.
