In 2015, around 90 million cars came off the assembly line. Of all this, less than half a percent fell on electric cars.
Even in spite of all the support for the production of electric vehicles by the government of the United States of America, this branch of the automobile industry is developing rather slowly.
The capitals of auto giant companies are ten times higher than Tesla's assets. For this reason, the range of application of auto is almost the key factor influencing the financial affairs of the company.
One of the obstacles for the distribution of electric cars, according to experts, is the reluctance of oil companies to participate in the construction of stations for charging such vehicles. For example, Tesla has to build an electro-gas stations for its cars.
The situation is particularly difficult in the European market. In America, everything is much simpler: a lot of car owners live in private houses, so it is easy to charge the car.
According to analysts, Tesla is a too expensive asset for classic automakers. Many IT companies see it as an option for takeover. Already more than once there were rumors of a deal with Apple and Google.
However, some experts are sure that in the next 10 years we are expected to expand the market for economical hybrids and increase investment in electric vehicles and their infrastructure.
