For The First Time Since 2015, More Electric Vehicles Were Sold In Europe In July Than In China

Santander Corporate & Investment | Global sales of electric cars and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles increased 72% annually and 5% monthly to 253,000 units in July (the 4th best monthly figure in history). Europe recorded remarkable growth (199% in yearly terms and 22% monthly), due to incentives and requirements to cut average emissions in the EU. Meanwhile there was a slight recovery in China (+44% on a yoy basis, but -5% monthly). Germany, France and the UK made the largest contributions to sales growth.

Tesla And Other Bubbles That Are Not Seen Until They Burst

Manuel Moreno Capa | From a practical point of view for the investor, Tesla is not really a car company. As opposed to selling cars, what it actually sells are expectations, future, potential. More or less the same as what many “dotcom” firms sold. That’s why its stock price is so crazy. But if at some point it became a simple car manufacturer, it would end up being valued as rigorously as the rest of the sector, irrespective of how advanced its models were.
