As part of a larger study on gender mainstreaming in the EV ecosystem, a series of in-depth interviews were conducted featuring women actively engaged in the automobile and EV ecosystem. These participants range from entrepreneurs to employees across organisational hierarchies, including C-suite, mid-level, and entry-level roles, to professionals supporting other women in entering and advancing within the industry. Their interviews have been captures through these case studies to provide a comprehensive overview on women’s experiences across the value chain.

These case studies provide rich, ground-level insights into the working environment, highlighting the unique challenges women encounter, including financial constraints, societal expectations, safety concerns, and gaps in education or technical qualifications. Beyond identifying these barriers, the women shared valuable perspectives on practical solutions and changes they believe are necessary to foster greater inclusion. Their experiences and recommendations offer actionable guidance for enhancing women’s participation across the EV value chain and shaping a more equitable and supportive ecosystem.
