China is expected to account for about half of the global electric vehicle market by 2025. As the leading chemical partner for all major automotive OEMs, BASF continues to support China's new energy vehicle industry with advanced battery materials, automotive coatings, engineering plastics and polyurethanes in 2022. These innovative solutions contribute to the rapid development of e-mobility in China.

The charging infrastructure is key in enabling the widespread use of electric vehicles. The construction of charging piles has accelerated in tandem based on market needs and government investment. High-powered charging piles bring higher feasibility and better consumer experience of charging electric vehicles. In conjunction with the inauguration of the Engineering Plastics plant at Zhanjiang Verbund site, BASF and Ebusbar showcased a concept supercharging pile made with BASF’s innovative material solutions. Ultramid® PA, Ultramid® Advanced PPA, Ultradur® PBT, and Elastollan® TPU are used in different components of the concept supercharging pile, including housing of electronic parts, charging guns, breakers, switches, safety components, cables, and a cooling system. 

BASF proactively collaborated with major automotive OEMs to promote and explore valued-added solutions in the aftersales market along the value chain. BASF successfully launched a Customized Color Design project with LEXUS in 2022 in China to support LEXUS to promote their body paint service quality, to improve customer loyalty, and to increase after-sales output. BASF also took this opportunity to show our refinish products directly to car owners. This project showed a win-win solution to all parties including the automotive OEMs, car dealers and car owners.
