Electric vehicle (EV) technology was in its infancy when Anthony Baker moved to Shanghai from Australia in 2013.
Over the last decade, Baker, who is chief technical officer at Allianz Partners for Asia Pacific and China, has seen the local market swell to just over 7 million electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold in 2022 — that’s a quarter of all new vehicles sold nationally in China.
Throughout his career, Baker has advised the Chinese government on electric vehicle strategy and consulted in countries including India and Singapore.
His experience gives him a unique insight into the future of insuring EVs in Australia and other less mature markets — insights he’ll be sharing at three ANZIIF workshops to be held in Jakarta, Hanoi and Bangkok.
