EVs need urgent innovative input to increase market share. They must become less expensive for the mass market.

All growth will be coming from Europe.<br /><br />The silver lining will be that in a slower growth environment producers will be able to push suppliers (including battery suppliers) to lower prices. In the medium turn the forced diet imposed by the subsidies cuts in China and the phasing out of tax credits for Tesla and GM in the US will render the PEV industry more competitive.Alexander Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592007433147176027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-44869162613158662002019-08-30T06:41:33.768+00:002019-08-30T06:41:33.768+00:00The latest numbers of buses in China are from 2017...The latest numbers of buses in China are from 2017<br />do you probably have numbers (buses) from 2018 <br />Thank you !<br />storeskeeper RVLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650771600738613929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-17052250065853720322019-08-30T03:12:53.376+00:002019-08-30T03:12:53.376+00:00Despite a drastic subsidy cut in China and partial...Despite a drastic subsidy cut in China and partial cut to Tesla in USA, July managed 148144 units and this great.<br />Now chinese automakers will learn to reduce weight and features, increase range and reduce price and start selling in higher # soon.<br /><br />Thanks to Teslas higher output again. <br />If BMW has higher sales over Nissan, then something is really wrong with the way Leaf is made and sold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-42875131953166094542019-08-29T16:16:29.733+00:002019-08-29T16:16:29.733+00:00Just 3 phev in top 20?
