“ FOR ALL THE CHALLENGES , WE KNOW THAT THE SHIFT TO EVS IS SOMETHING OUR CLIENTS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT ”

FRANÇOIS DOSSA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY & SUSTAINABILITY , JLR
“ For example , EV batteries have significant value beyond their life in a car , so , we ’ re exploring ways to use them in second and even third life applications ,” says Dossa . “ The options for reusing electric vehicle batteries are broad , such as grid stabilisation or energy storage for buildings using solar power . This circular way of thinking about our vehicles is better for us as a business and for the planet .”
“ The transition to EVs also pushes us into new digital and technological advances . Our electric vehicles will have improved connectivity , charging services and battery management systems . For our clients , it ’ s not just a different powertrain that they get when they buy an electric vehicle , they get a more modern and more luxurious experience all round .”
