Respondents were asked to indicate their level of agreement or disagreement on 18 different changes to be made to traditional automotive supply chain to integrate EVs production. A principal was performed to understand the positioning of companies towards the implementation of different changes proposed by this research. SMEs suggest that to establish relationships with new customers and suppliers, to implement internal research and development, to add new production lines to existing ones, the partial outsourcing and a mix policy of internal training and recruitment of skilled workers would be required. Micro-sized enterprises indicate that internal training for workers, internal research and development, modifications of production capacity, changes to existing production lines, change of some suppliers, minor changes in marketing activities, and establishing relationships with new customers are the most important turns required to integrated supply chains. Largest enterprises argue that a radical change in the automotive supply chain is needed, in this way, new production facilities might be created by adopting new marketing policies, benefiting from both internal and external research and development, and building relationships with new customers and suppliers. They were also convinced that a transition to a lean supply chain might be a strategic goal. All the companies declared that existing suppliers should adapt to the demand for new products. All the surveyed companies, regardless of their size, are especially investing in BEVs and, to a lesser extent in HEVs (favouring city cars), although the market is not promoting an environment that encourages innovation towards EVs. Battery packs and driving range are the most critical features considered in design of an EV, flywheel/transmission group and safety in case of collision are also considered as critical. On the contrary, hi-tech appearance and vehicle performances, as well as top speed and acceleration are not significant.
