There is increasing recognition and effort toward greater beneficiation of EV battery minerals in the SADC region
Electric vehicle (EV) operators have identified data analytics, charging infrastructure and integrated energy systems as critical enablers of Nigeria’s e-mobility future, as the country seeks to build ecosystems needed to support large-scale adoption and attract investment into the sector.
Speaking at the Arthurite Integrated summit, titled, ‘One with AI: Powering Mobility and EV Ecosystem with AWS,’ stakeholders noted that sustainable EV adoption requires charging stations, power generation, battery management, financing, and technician training, powered by artificial intelligence and cloud technology.
Alexander Lenk, head of Catena-X, Amazon Web Services (AWS), in his keynote address, titled, ‘The Cloud-First Electric Future: What AWS is Building for Mobility,’ said that the future of mobility will be driven by the combination of cloud computing, AI, and electrification to enable automakers and mobility companies develop smarter, connected, and autonomous transportation systems faster and more efficiently.
Lenk said the automotive industry is shifting from hardware-centric vehicles to software-defined vehicles.
