I wanted to mention that this is a broad view of a study that could be completed on all electric vehicle components. For example, in my region alone, VW has launched a research centre for electric vehicle batteries, so the battery research as a component to this would be helpful to understand and know.
I would like to reiterate that this is a broad view of EV research, all components. I agree with Vincent on the fact that it could be a study on the range of what's required in order to support the EV move and the technology.
