Thanks to supportive policies and falling costs, there are more than 1 million EVs on the road. The difference in impact on the climate is remarkable. Compared to petroleum-based vehicles, CO2 emissions drop by 50% if an EV’s power comes off the conventional grid. If powered by solar energy, emissions are cut by 95%. Once households purchase EVs, the operating costs for those cars are often cheaper than gas-based cars, too. What once used to be a roadbump for EVs - the question of how far the car can travel on a single charge - is now much less of a concern. The average range of a battery electric vehicle produced in 2020 is [about 217.5 miles, up from 124 miles in 2015](https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2021/trends-and-developments-in-electric-vehicle-markets). What’s making this increase in mileage possible is the continuing development in battery capacity. Global EV battery capacity is expected to increase from around [170 GWh per year today to 1.5 TWh per year](https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2020) in 2030. At the same time, the cost of batteries is falling as their production reaches greater scale. To be on track to remain under 1.5ºC of warming, [100% of passenger cars and vans](https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/4482cac7-edd6-4c03-b6a2-8e79792d16d9/NetZeroby2050-ARoadmapfortheGlobalEnergySector.pdf) (p. 138) need to be running on electricity by 2050. This is a jump from 5% of cars and 0% of vans in 2020, respectively. Accomplishing this overhaul of the transportation landscape means EV production and ownership need to continue to expand over the next three decades: - 11 million EV cars and vans were on the road in 2020 - 2 billion EV cars and vans (100% of total global sales) need to be on the road by 2050 This would require a CAGR of [18.94%](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1MAH2EVCiX2ey3OqQSzZpa9tkGizeCUQO_74JB_gYs-c/edit) from 2018-2050 [Learn More](https://www.carboncollectiveinvesting.com/climate-index/electric-car-stocks) ## About Aptiv PLC (stock ticker: APTV) is an auto parts company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. They design and manufacture vehicle components and provide electrical, electronic and active safety technology solutions to the global passenger and commercial vehicle markets, creating the software and hardware foundation for vehicle features and functionality. One of the largest vehicle component manufacturers, they have a presence in 44 countries. ## APTV's Role in Drawdown APTV supplies products to some of the [largest auto manufacturers in the world](https://s22.q4cdn.com/336558720/files/doc_financials/2020/ar/2020_AptivAnnualReport.pdf) (p. 9), including General Motors, Ford, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen. These products include complete design, manufacture and assembly of the vehicles’ electrical architecture that supports increased electrification, reduced emissions and higher fuel economy. On top of this, APTV helps [automate](https://s22.q4cdn.com/336558720/files/doc_presentations/2021/06/Aptiv-Electrification-Event-Presentation.pdf) (p. 59) the component manufacturing and assembly processes, enabling their customers to produce EVs more efficiently and at greater scales. ## APTV: What We Like Aptiv has set and exceeded clear and concrete sustainability targets in the past, and has posed [new goals](https://downloads.aptiv.com/libraries/docs/default-source/aptiv-storage/2021_aptiv_sustainability_report.pdf) (p. 3) for this decade to become a [carbon neutral company by 2040](https://downloads.aptiv.com/libraries/docs/default-source/aptiv-storage/2021_aptiv_sustainability_report.pdf) (p. 1): - They’ve reduced their CO2 emissions by [41% through the end of 2020](https://s22.q4cdn.com/336558720/files/doc_financials/2020/ar/2020_AptivAnnualReport.pdf) (p. 4) - Reduce carbon emissions by 25% by cutting scope 1, 2 and 3 CO2 emissions - Source 100% renewable energy in all of its operations globally Strong [record](https://s22.q4cdn.com/336558720/files/doc_presentations/2021/Aptiv-Investor-Outreach-April-2021.pdf) (p. 4) of acquisitions and joint ventures since 2015 - Four acquisitions that increase scale and leverage in engineered components and presence in adjacent markets - Four joint ventures that enhanced automated driving and data management capabilities ## *APTV:* What We Want to See Improve ## Not Just Neutral, but Zero Emissions --- We absolutely applaud Aptiv for setting and achieving a series of sustainability targets over the past several years. But we urge them to go beyond simply becoming carbon neutral, and aspire to become a zero-emissions company by the end of this decade. ## Clean Up Supply Chain --- The fact that [99%](https://downloads.aptiv.com/libraries/docs/default-source/aptiv-storage/2021_aptiv_sustainability_report.pdf)(p. 34) of Aptiv’s key direct material suppliers have signed their Code of Conduct is impressive. But the requirements in their [Code of Conduct](https://portaladminhf421bb08.us3.hana.ondemand.com/api/download/documents/UsnsJ0kkkAkO8AlaNHmPxyOnjT98AonmzTCiwLI0Iro) regarding suppliers’ sustainability efforts is noticeably lax, only stipulating that business partners provide Aptiv with their scope 1 and 2 emissions metric upon request. We urge Aptiv to take a more demanding stance, calling on suppliers to actively reduce their GHG emissions within precise time frames. ## Push Customers to Increase EV Production --- Aptiv has an impressive list of customers, and their products are [featured](https://s22.q4cdn.com/336558720/files/doc_financials/annual/Annual-Report-2017.pdf) (p. 6) in many of the top-selling vehicle models in the US, Europe, and China. While many of these auto makers are expanding their EV lineup, they still predominantly produce internal combustion vehicles. We would like to see Aptiv exerting pressure on these manufacturers to increase their EV production so that Aptiv can capture an expanding market share and help the world approach net-zero in transportation. ## Other Electric Cars (EV's) Stocks in the Climate Index [![Nio Inc.
