IKE THE move from horse-drawn carriages to contraptions powered by internal-combustion engines, the migration from cars powered by fossil fuels to electric vehicles will have a profound effect on personal transport. Covid-19 caused a 20% drop in global light-vehicle sales in 2020, to about 70m, but they will pick up in 2021. And, led by China, the proportion of vehicles powered by batteries will grow quickly.
The surging share price of Tesla, now the world’s most valuable carmaker, provides a big incentive for incumbents and newcomers to catch up. Tesla may lead in battery technology and software, but to make those advantages stick it must prove that “production hell” is behind it. The firm’s boss, Elon Musk, dreams of making 20m cars a year; in 2019 he made 370,000. Scaling up manufacturing has caused Tesla its biggest headaches.
Pivoting from mechanical engineering to developing software and providing the mobility services that customers will increasingly demand is not the only challenge. Incumbents must also wind down investments in combustion-engine technology and make the alliances needed to catch up on batteries and software. Expect more joint ventures and investments in startups, as they try to share costs, shift away from petrol power and bring in new thinking.
