Up Close with Brian O’Leary, Global Head, e-Mobility & Infrastructure, Indium Corp.

EMSNOW gets an update from Indium Corporation’s Global Head, e-Mobility & Infrastructure, Brian O’Leary. This has been a very tumultuous year with both the US and EU imposing tariffs on Chinese EVs due to unfair practices. Brian describes the challenges for EV makers to convince consumers that this technology is reliable enough to take the plunge into fully electric vehicles. He points out that the deadlines for pivoting to fully electric vehicles are coming in many countries, including the U.S. and if the automotive industry doesn’t embrace this technology, China will win the competitive battle. The conversation also covers the need for and challenges with charging stations, standards for batteries, and what the expectation is for growth these days among EMS companies. It’s an informative interview for anyone following this critical end market.
