Even though there is currently an intense competition in the EV arena, EV companies will continue to grow exponentially in the future. An EV drive train contains around 20 moving parts. In contrast, the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) typically have more than 2000 parts and is more labour intensive. EVs also is better for a cleaner and greener Earth. So in the future, EVs would be the norm while our regular ICE vehicles would be eventually be phased out.
EV companies are definitely on the rise and is set to change the world in a big way. However it is important to choose wisely which EV companies to invest in. My Top Pick would be Tesla as it is currently the Number 1 EV company in the world.
