Pauli Lohi

Kempower operates in the industrial sector. The company is a developer of charging solutions and services aimed at the automotive sector. The range mainly includes charging posts, stations, sockets, and associated electronic equipment. In addition to the main business, various after-sales services and technical support are offered. The largest operations are found in the Nordic region and parts of Europe.

Electric vehicles will help support power grids and balance peak demand, partly because V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) adoption will increase in the future. This allows hundreds of thousands of plugged-in cars to be automated to supply electricity back to the grid when prices are high.

There won’t be an electricity shortage, at least not due to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Currently, it seems that roughly 1% of Finland’s total electricity consumption goes to EV driving. Even if the number of electric cars doubled within a year (an impossibly massive increase for a single year), Finland’s total electricity consumption would similarly increase by only about 1%. Electricity producers have many times (perhaps even hundreds of times) more than enough time to react to this minimal increase in electricity consumption caused by the proliferation of electric vehicles. One can always buy solar panels themselves if they believe the price of electricity will skyrocket (I won’t be buying them, as I don’t believe the price of electricity will rise much more). I personally see that increasing EV usage specifically improves the position of electricity buyers, because the differences between night and day electricity prices narrow as the number of electric cars grows. And in a hypothetical emergency during winter (e.g., electricity prices at several euros per kWh), electricity could be produced, for example, with the diesel that is freed up for other industrial use as internal combustion engine cars become increasingly rare. Even waste heat can be used to heat a home (well-insulated) instead of a car cabin (poorly insulated).

The situation in Vantaa (and actually the situation in any city) can be seen through apps. Charging points are indeed full on cold winter days (like today with temperatures over 10 degrees below zero). You can check a bit via Charge Finder, e.g., K-Lataus Jumbo right now has 5/12 high-power charging stations available in Jumbo. You can see from the ABC app that Kaari is full. But if you go to charge outside of rush hour in the evening, you will find chargers. Similarly, the high-power chargers at K-rauta hardware stores and the slightly less well-known Recharge chargers are usually free. As long as you get the apps, chargers will be found; it’s just important to remember battery pre-heating. However, it is clear that more chargers are needed, and it is true that this works in symbiosis with shopping centers. A shopping trip happens every now and then depending on where chargers are available.                   chargefinder.com              ChargeFinder - Sähköautojen latausasemat - Latauskartta    Löydä latausasemia yksinkertaisella haulla tai etsi itseäsi kartalta.

I completely agree with this. However, development in the USA during Trump’s term will likely be quite moderate. As I understand it, the USA is a fairly significant market for Kempower, partly due to the factory investment made there.

I also started driving an electric car earlier than I had planned when my gas car unexpectedly broke down. On the other hand, used EV prices are already starting to reach a decent level. I believe they will continue to drop quite rapidly. With a warm garage and 3-phase charging, driving an electric car is very effortless and even cheap. I really have to wonder about those who get an electric car without having their own garage or parking spot. For example, fast charging at shopping malls in the Helsinki metropolitan area (pks) seems to be completely jammed (meaning all spots are taken) almost from morning to evening, at least in this weather. Which is surely good news for the likes of Kempower. But I can see electricity shortages and rapidly rising prices becoming a reality in the very near future.  The grid load is increasing in many ways, yet decision-makers aren’t doing much else besides trying to increase consumption by all possible means. Are they driving prices sky-high on purpose? We’ll get charging stations, but the electricity will “run out.” Electric cars will get cheaper, and the wealthier demographic will switch back to other fuels. Gasoline and diesel will become luxury items, and ordinary citizens will be controlled through electricity or the lack thereof. But I do think the charging station business will continue to thrive regardless. At least until a proper electricity shock occurs – which I don’t think is very far off. My view is that even 2-year electricity futures are going to see some sharp corrections. Well, the downside of Kempower’s satellites is also becoming apparent in this weather. For example, with a 12-spot station and 800kW available, the ideal power is less than 70kW per plug. Factor in the turnaround times and the low initial charging currents of cold batteries. It’s an interesting case from a queueing theory perspective, as the system’s capacity (customers served per unit of time) decreases as the load increases. Does the system keep flowing, or does it just seize up completely once a certain threshold is crossed?  Has anyone spent time queuing at, say, Jumbo, Kaari, Iso Omena, or similar places, and can describe what this kind of gridlock is actually like in practice?

That’s just it. The product isn’t up to par at Stellantis, just as it wasn’t at Tritium. Tritium couldn’t cry about the market and switch to fossils; instead, they just kept promising in every investor call that actions were being taken and a new big customer was coming very soon. Who never arrived. The reason is the same. An uncompetitive product. Stellantis is unlikely to go bankrupt, but it’s interesting to see where they intend to find competitive electric cars in 2030, now that they are stopping (?) their investment in them? The triumph of electric cars is only accelerating. There is no doubt about it. It is also accelerating in the United States this year. The cherry on top in this Kempower case is that Kempower doesn’t rely solely on electric cars but is increasingly selling chargers for buses and truck traffic, especially MCS. A segment that will grow even faster than passenger cars in the coming years.

Here is a ChatGPT summary of the development of global electric vehicle sales in recent years: Global electric vehicle sales have grown very rapidly in recent years.  •   2018: share of new cars ~2%  •   2022: sales 10.5 million, share ~13%  •   2023: 13.8 million, share ~18%  •   2024: approximately 17 million, share ~20%  •   2025: estimated over 20 million, share ~25% Growth is particularly strong in China and Europe, and today approximately one in four new cars in the world is an electric vehicle. EVs have thus moved from the margins to the mainstream. The figures are based on reports from the IEA and the industry.

<p>Kempower, a specialist in fast and high-power charging solutions for electric vehicles, has rapidly increased its market share thanks to its competitive products. We expect the company to exceed its earnings growth target and become one of the leading players in the industry. To justify the current valuation of the stock, the targets need to be achieved earlier than communicated, but despite the valuation risks, we think the expected return looks attractive.</p>
