Takeoff
For a number of years, EVs have been poised to take off. What few realise is that it’s happening already. In Germany, Europe’s largest auto market and the 4th largest in the world, in December 2019 plugin electric vehicles held a 4.0% share. By December 2020, despite the pandemic, EVs reached an incredible 26.6% share. Volkswagen led with their brands e-Golf, ID.3, e-Up! and ID.4, selling 46,200 vehicles, followed by Renault’s ZOE (31,450) and Tesla (16,700). This is what happens with convergence; the system flips to a new state much quicker than people anticipate. The EV race is on.
