Well gents,I am not convinced that the world will be driving EV's in the quantity you suggest.
I am not blind to the fact that EV's do have a place and over the past years sales have been hyper.
The market was very heavily subsidesed by car manufacturers and in particular governments,can you recall the market when the Chinese government stopped support,EV sales collapsed.
Sales of EV's will continue to grow,however the rate of sales have already slowed and there appears no reversal .
The Amazon argument is very relavent,one of the largest companies in the world moved to electric and is now showing signs of returning to fossil fuels,that it my eyes is a vote of no confidence.
The initial years have produced some fantasic figures but in reality the market was false it was driven by super discounts on RRP,HMRC allowed fantasic offers via AIA,no road fund licence,no tax on power.
It will be interesting to see what happens now the world governments start taxing the Ev's,now the cost of EV's starts coming to the forefront,the cost of depreciation,battery replacements etc
All i am saying,it is NOT a golden run.
