Electric Vehicle Localization
Delivering EV Solutions into Markets Across the Globe through Electric Vehicle Translations and Communication Solutions
Following years of advancing vehicle and battery R&D, favorable environmental policies, and declining production costs, the global electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) market is set to experience massive growth in the coming decade. While the 2020 global pandemic has dampened prospects across the automotive industry, this sector remains posed to bounce back rapidly as economies around the world push to reopen in 2021, presenting vast opportunities for electrics and battery manufacturers, as well as utility and infrastructure companies, to gain a competitive advantage in regional markets through targeted localization. This is true at all levels of the global EV supply chain, from wholly built units (CBUs) to completely knocked down (CKD) or semi-knocked down (SKD) vehicle models, as well as specific EV components. Notably, the lithium-ion battery forms the largest proportion of an electric or hybrid car’s total value, followed by its battery management systems (BMS) and thermal management systems (TMS), making rare earth and other raw materials not found in conventional vehicles a vital link in the supply chain.
For companies and suppliers operating at all stages of the EV production cycle, entering new markets, avoiding recalls, and meeting regional demand requires tailored, end-to-end localization services from an experienced LSP (language service provider). From technical translations for user manuals and assembly instructions to onboard software translations and more, CSOFT’s worldwide network of 10,000 linguists and subject matter experts enables us to deliver all your brand and product communications for the EV industry across borders and into over 250+ languages, including:
End-to-End Localization Solutions for a Complex Industry
Like conventional combustion vehicles, EVs are highly complex machines integrating various components and parts. However, the new non-combustion, battery-based technologies enabling these vehicles to run on electricity introduce additional technical areas not found in traditional vehicles. These include fuel cell technology and photovoltaic chemistry. While, in many ways, they help to simplify the repair process, they introduce an additional level of complexity across product lines and use cases. While road vehicles (including cars, trucks, and buses) are the primary market, electric vehicles can also include electric boats, passenger trains and light rail vehicles, electric aircraft, and a growing range of autonomous vehicles. As the most cutting-edge technology in transportation, EVs are likely to be a target area for related innovations in driverless technology, augmented reality, and onboard software systems designed to improve the transport experience.

- Software / Navigation System
In addition to vehicles, EV technology also mandates a new product and service area to replace traditional gas stations when recharging electric vehicles. With plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) being the most common model available, charging and rapid charging stations are now a common feature of the road or at rest areas on highways. They may soon be joined by alternatives such as inductive charging systems.
For EV solution providers entering new markets, CSOFT’s expert linguists and EV subject matter experts can deliver accurate, high-quality translations in the specific technical and content areas your brand needs to succeed, with a full range of services across related industry sectors such as:
Quality Assurance
Professional, high-quality localization of a service or product is critical for translation solutions in global markets. CSOFT understands the importance of accurate translation, which is why we have developed a process for quality assurance to ensure that any project that is translated meets quality standards in a timely manner that is also cost effective.
