NEW: Already 250 companies added to the first interactive world map for the EV industry. It will soon grow to be the largest online “Yellow Pages” for the electric vehicle industry. Send us your company details for a free entry today!

What is meant to grow into the most comprehensive directory of EV & PHEV component suppliers, industry associations, research institutes, and OEMs, has been launched on cars21.com today. Currently running in beta mode, the interactive world map and advanced search options complementing it will show you where business, non-profit organisations and academics are investigating and promoting electric mobility. Having collected more than 200 organisations already showing on the world map today, the global directory is far from being exhaustive at this point in time. With the help of the global EV/PHEV community active on cars21.com, however, we are confident to rapidly increase this number over the coming weeks and months.

The ultimate goal of the cars21.com global directory is to bring together industry and research, NGOs and public authorities, decision makers and solution providers. In a time when the worldwide EV industry is struggling to see through highly dynamic processes in different world regions and identify all actors already investing in a stronger market uptake of electric vehicles, the newly launched directory might help to shed light on where and how the industry is moving.

“Today, cars21.com, the fast growing B2B platform for the EV community, is launching a global interactive directory of organisations working in this sector. It already has over 200 organisations with new ones being added every day. We expect 500 by the end of the year. We believe this will be a very useful tool for the community to share knowledge”, says Marc Chasserot, cars21.com Editor in Chief.

The EV Directory - A quick guide

The directory is built around an interactive world map exclusively designed for cars21.com. Several search options built around it enhance the search and deliver targeted results.

World Map: You can search by clicking on a certain world region to zoom in. A cursor at the bottom of the map allows you to move in all four directions. You can also drag the map with the mouse cursor to the point you want to focus on. There are four levels of zooming. The “Reset” button will centre and un-zoom the map so that you can renew your search.

Company Pins: For each organisation a little pin will indicate the location of its headquarters on the map. By doing a mouse-over, you will see a little pop-up window appearing with the most relevant details for that organisation. Click on “view details” to get more information about a certain organisation.

Company Details: Below the map, you will find a short description of any organisation you chose on the map or through any other search option. Where a company is already a cars21.com partner, you can send a direct request to the contact person. Otherwise a link to the main corporate website is provided.

Search Menu: Above the world map, you can search by product group, by type of organisation, and by world region. The latter has shortcuts to the main automotive nations Japan, China, USA, and Germany. Multiple options for all three categories allow a very targeted search, combining several search criteria.
