The global auto industry is undergoing its biggest transformation of the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs). With annual EV sales expected to surpass 17 million units by 2030, electrification is no longer an option; it is a necessity for automakers aiming to stay relevant and competitive.
But electrification success isn’t defined by product launches alone. True readiness depends on the operational backbone: scalable EV manufacturing, resilient supplier networks, secure battery sourcing, efficient logistics, and compliance with sustainability regulations. Automakers that fail to align their operations risk higher costs, delays, and lost market share.
This is where EV operations benchmarking becomes indispensable. By comparing performance metrics, supply chain models, and sustainability practices against industry leaders, automakers can measure their readiness, identify gaps, and accelerate their electrification journey.
Nexdigm’s EV Operations Benchmarking Approach
At Nexdigm, we help automotive players translate electrification goals into operational realities. Our EV operations benchmarking methodology blends quantitative KPIs with competitive intelligence to give automakers a clear roadmap for scaling EV production efficiently and sustainably.
- Plant-Level Performance Benchmarking: We evaluate EV assembly operations on OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), takt time, defect rates, automation adoption, and scalability of production lines.
- Battery & Supplier Network Benchmarking: Our analysis covers sourcing strategies, supplier diversification, cost structures, and raw material risk management for batteries, the most critical EV component.
- Cross-Market Comparisons: We benchmark practices across leading EV hubs (China, US, EU) and emerging growth markets (India, ASEAN, Middle East) to uncover region-specific operational advantages.
- Integration of Data & Market Intelligence: Beyond operational KPIs, we incorporate competitor strategies, regulatory support, and ecosystem partnerships to provide contextual insights.
- Actionable Delivery: Our engagements conclude with clear recommendations to help clients scale manufacturing, optimize supplier ecosystems, and align with global sustainability standards.
By leveraging this structured approach, Nexdigm equips automakers with the tools to accelerate electrification readiness and compete effectively in the EV era.
