Cewmalator - initial thoughts by https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc en-us 2025-10-10 11:10:55 UTC 2025-10-10 11:29:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Board https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626597041 The board has five executive members and four non executive members, so it is slightly unbalanced. This may lead to questions on corporate governance.

Most people on the board are also fairly newly appointed, which could lead to troubles in decision making if not fully experienced with Cewmlator

For a company with so many factories it seems odd that there isn't a designated director for H&S or HR - possible issues with staff or ethical issues

]]> 2025-10-10 11:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626600333 Issues to think about https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626600528 The rise of electric cars has some problems:


  • they are more expensive - how will people be able to afford them?

  • Public Charger Availability - who will fund this and will this have an impact on sale if not available chargers? How will people in flats be able to charge their cars?

  • Question around battery disposals - how can this be done safely?

Possible questions based on whether it was an oversight not to include cybber security on the risk register - we may have to defend or agree with this (evaluate)

]]> 2025-10-10 11:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626605809 Challenges https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626607205 There is a high dependence on lithium batteries. Cewmlator manufactures all batteries in Eastland, using lithium, a volatile commodity with ethical and environmental issues. The company may face reputational risks if supply is disrupted or cost may rise.


Infrastructure constraints

Limited and uneven availability of charging points. Local governments are reluctant to invest due to high costs (D$60,000 per charger).

Consumers without off street parking are disadvantaged, demand for EVs may stagnate

only 3 director with broad experience in the company the rest of them has been appointed in the ls 2 years, why did the predecessors left?

not IT director from the industry Cewmlator (CL) operates in it seems a big issue because who is held accountable for IT and cybersecurity problems

No HR director: who deals with staff development and implicated to CSR issues related to HR

Currency risk? Decentralised operations? How can the political environment in one country affect the organisation as a whole

]]> 2025-10-10 11:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626608731 Market https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/4zplnf7s1h6o6rnc/wish/3626610268 At the top three in the market but very close to its biggest competitors, potentially the market share of BEV only is ahead of Dilson.

Potential acquisition to increase market share, we have experience in ICE market
