SMM: a few days ago, it was reported that Hyundai Motor announced that it plans to start producing pure electric models at its new factory in Singapore from 2022. The first product made by the factory may be a compact crossover model named IONIQ 3.

Hyundai plans to produce 30000 pure electric models a year at its plant in Singapore, of which about 6000 will be sold in Singapore. The company had planned to start building a 28000-square-meter plant in Singapore in May 2020, but plans to build the plant were delayed until October because of the global novel coronavirus outbreak.

Not long ago, Hyundai officially launched its new electric car brand-IONIQ, also announced that the IONIQ brand will be based on a global modular platform called E-GMP, which will have fast charging capacity and sufficient mileage, and plans to launch three new electric models in addition to the IONIQ 3, the first of which will be launched in early 2021.

The Singapore government hopes to expand the public charging infrastructure from the current 1600 charging points to 28000 by 2030 and plans to introduce a series of subsidies from next year to support the introduction of electric vehicles. The government aims to replace all roads in Singapore with new energy vehicles from 2040.

Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series, Part 4 of 9: Will It Be Crushed Under the Wheels of PV-Style Industry-Wide Involution? [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Analysis: Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series 9, Part 4: Will It Be Dragged Under the Wheels of PV-Style Industry-Wide Involution?] Solid-state batteries will not face PV-style industry-wide involution in the short term: unconsolidated technology routes, high capital barriers, and yields of only 50%-60% serve as firewalls. From 2027 to 2029, there will be phased risks, including pilot-line surplus and localized price wars on the equipment side; after 2030, if technology routes consolidate, leading capacity is released, and demand growth slows, industry-wide involution could emerge, with intensity likely lower than in PV but with slower market exit. Given the lessons learned from PV, the solid-state battery industry is fully capable of avoiding involution.

Optimize Lithium Battery Industry, Enhance Coastal Urban Agglomerations, and Advance Manufacturing Clusters

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments jointly issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for New-Type Battery Industry Development. It proposes optimizing the layout of the lithium battery industry in accordance with the principles of regional agglomeration and concentration of main entities. It guides various regions to leverage their comparative advantages and achieve differentiated and specialized coordinated development. It consolidates and enhances the role of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as driving forces for high-quality development, better leverages the role of coastal urban agglomerations such as Guangdong-Fujian-Zhejiang, and accelerates the cultivation of advanced manufacturing clusters for new-type batteries. Relying on the industrial foundations of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yellow River Basin, and the Northeast region, it promotes the strengthening, supplementation, quality improvement, and upgrading of the new-type battery industry chain. Based on the resources of the central and western regions, it enhances the resilience of the new-type battery industry chain.
