Automakers are also making significant investments, not only in the adoption of EVs but also in the development of a robust infrastructure that will support the millions of vehicles expected to be on the road within the next few years. That means new challenges for manufacturers in finding materials to meet those needs in producing safe and easy-to-use stations.   Lastly, molded-in color (MIC) metallics offer a means of eliminating paint resulting in reduced VOCs and fewer processing steps for energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.

Automakers are also making significant investments, not only in the adoption of EVs but also in the development of a robust infrastructure that will support the millions of vehicles expected to be on the road within the next few years. That means new challenges for manufacturers in finding materials to meet those needs in producing safe and easy-to-use stations.   Lastly, molded-in color (MIC) metallics offer a means of eliminating paint resulting in reduced VOCs and fewer processing steps for energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.
