Back in 2019, car industry experts said there was "no way"
EV sales could reach 10% in just four years. They were wrong.
And at around 10-15%, the curve will head more north... exponential growth.
In the U.S., Tesla
is way ahead of everyone else (top two bars), and yet, industry experts
are saying that the competition is "eating Tesla's lunch".
Obviously they are not. And with such a giant head start, and industry-leading
engineers, programmers, and innovation, and a visionary CEO, Tesla will
likely retain that lead going forward. There once was "the Big
Three" automakers, and now there will be "the Big One".
And Tesla is also
the worldwide leader in EV sales, and will likely remain so.
BTW, the Wuling Mini is a death trap on wheels, and could never be sold
in the U.S.
But it's very inexpensive and yet is being outsold by
the more expensive Teslas (3 and Y).

GLOBAL AUTOMAKER RATING
From the International Council on Clean Transportation
Note that BYD's "market
dominance" includes plug-in hybrids, and the sales of those are
falling in favor of battery EVs
And all the laggards are Japanese automakers who thought that EVs would
never catch on.
And then there's
this bit of sweet news
The above chart that included the Wuling Mini was for
EVs, but this one is for ALL vehicles!
