CES 2025, the world’s largest annual trade show, is just around the corner. The expo is set to showcase advancements in electric vehicles (EVs), mobility, and sustainability.
The world is pushing toward cleaner, smarter transport solutions. That’s why EV tech and mobility systems will be taking the spotlight when the show kicks off in Las Vegas on 7 January.
CES 2025 sneak peek
CES 2025 isn’t just about showcasing futuristic gadgets, as fun as that is. It’s about tackling real-world challenges too.
This includes everything from building greener cities to addressing the complexities of modern transportation. Attendees can expect a comprehensive look at the future of transport and e-mobility.
Let’s take a look.
Electric Vehicles Take Center Stage
The EV sector continues to grow, and the lineup at CES 2025 will be no exception.
Leading manufacturers will unveil advancements designed to make EVs more accessible, efficient, and reliable.
- Next-gen EV models: Sleek, sustainable designs with extended ranges and improved performance.
- Fleet management tools: AI-driven platforms for real-time monitoring and optimisation of EV fleets.
- Battery innovation: Lighter, faster-charging batteries to meet growing demand.
Honda will be showing off its ‘Honda Zero’ – two new EV prototypes to emphasize lightweight design. These models integrate automated driving features and a proprietary operating system.
Meanwhile, Chinese automaker ZEEKR will present three of its popular all-electric models and introduce new core technologies. They’ll also be discussing their market strategy – including plans for their international expansion.
Charging Infrastructure
A robust EV ecosystem requires accessible charging infrastructure.
As a society, we need solutions designed to simplify the charging process for both consumers and businesses.
For example:
France’s electric highway test: France plans to test an electric highway on the A10 near Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines in 2025.
This tech involves inductive coils embedded under the road surface, allowing EVs to charge while driving. Impressive!
This could potentially reduce the need for frequent charging stops, and also smaller battery sizes.
China’s battery swapping expansion: China is set to expand its EV battery swapping infrastructure, led by battery maker CATL.
This system allows drivers to quickly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones, enhancing convenience and addressing range anxiety.
Mobility and Sustainability
Cities are embracing smart infrastructure. Thus, the integration of sustainable tech is more critical than ever.
Some of the inventions under the spotlight at CES 2025 will spotlight will be focused on reducing emissions and improving urban transport efficiency.
This includes:
- Smart city integration: IoT devices optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion while enhancing public safety.
- Energy-efficient transport solutions: Systems designed to reduce carbon footprints in urban areas.
- Circular economy initiatives: Sustainable manufacturing processes and waste reduction in vehicle production.
