In total, at least $28 billion was invested in public and private electric-vehicle companies in 2020, according to data from CB Insights and Dow Jones Market Data Group.\n“The writing is on the wall with regard to the long-term EV versus internal combustion debate,” said John Mitchell, a partner at Blue Horizon Capital.\nIn several countries around the world, people will no longer be allowed to purchase internal combustion-engine vehicles within a short decade or two, and global auto makers have realized that “the transition to electrified vehicles is the only way to compete,” he said.\nNot to be outdone, General Motors Co.,Ford Motor Co.&nbsp;and other legacy auto makers amped investments in EVs and autonomous vehicles, with GM going as far as vowing to phase out internal combustion-engine vehicles within less than 15 years. Tesla, of course, joined the S&amp;P 500 index&nbsp;in 2020 after finally showing consistent profit.New companies such as Nio Inc.NIO,-1.25%,Nikola Corp.,and Fisker Inc.&nbsp;attracted outsize investor attention, and the involvement of special-purpose acquisition companies became nearly common place.\n“The EV party is just beginning, buckle the seat belts,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said recently. Recent weakness are short-term “growing pains,” he said.\nThat doesn’t mean that the switch from combustion engines to electric cars will take place quickly. Electric cars currently make up around 2% of global auto sales, and estimates for a future market share vary from a low-end forecast of 10% to 20% of cars sold by 2030 to as much as two-thirds of the market by that time.\nMuch more money will be needed to fund the switch, despite the billions that already found its way to EV-related investments. A recent note from B. of A. Securities put a price tag on a future EV “revolution,” saying that funding that change is still a “tremendous hurdle.”\nExtrapolating from the relationship between Tesla’s capital raises and its capacity to make vehicles, the B. of A. analysts calculated that a shift to a 100% EV world would need more than $2.5 trillion in investments, coming from the companies, investors and governments across the world.\nRecent capital raises by EV and related companies through the SPACs, or “blank-check” companies, “may be just a beginning,” they said.\n‘Hyper growth’ in EV and renewables\nThe heightened interest in EV and related stocks has led to concerns about a bubble.\nAt a recent JPMorgan virtual investor conference, head of global research Joyce Chang and others told the audience that they were not seeing “a broad equity market bubble,” but that “certain pockets” of the market were experiencing “hyper growth, such as electric vehicles and renewables.”\nBubbles, of course, are easy to spot — in hindsight. It remains to be seen whether the current influx of money and attention to EV companies, as well as to autonomous vehicles and AV-adjacent companies, will resemble the short-lived notice paid to cloud-computing companies half a decade ago, or the early aughts’ spotlight on fuel-cell companies, several of which — 20 years later — have still not returned to record highs established then.\nThe JPMorgan analysts reminded the audience that EV, renewables and “innovation” stocks make up a small percentage of the broader equity market, with EVs only around 2% of the S&amp;P 500.\nBoding well for the future, however, Blue Horizon’s Mitchell pointed to the increasing quality and technical improvements for EVs.\n“Battery life is only going to be extended and with the trillions being invested globally by all those supporting the electrification of the transportation system the infrastructure for widespread adoption and usage of EV technology is only going to increase,” he said.\nAnalysts at UBS forecast that global auto makers’ revenues from EVs are going to shift to $1.16 trillion by year 2030, from $182 billion today.\nConversely, revenue from ICE vehicles, at $1.77 trillion today, will dwindle to $1.07 trillion. Revenues for software will make an even bigger slice of that revenue pie by 2030, at nearly $2 trillion.\nHere’s the UBS chart, in billions:\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d50358ca5183ce3798dcd48c2d4d479f\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"565\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">\nA company or a business plan?\nBlank-check companies have been around for a long time, but took on a larger role in U.S. investing last year, when there were more initial public offerings through special-purpose acquisition companies than all other years combined, Garrett Nelson at CFRA said in a recent note.\nActivity in 2021 is on track to exceed last year’s “by a wide margin,” and some of the largest SPAC deals are again likely to be in the “burgeoning electric and autonomous vehicle (EV/AV) space,” he said.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/341d62db385f1b98b0032b7a2f54ff9a\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"857\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">\nSome of the companies popping in “resemble business plans rather more than revenue- or profit-generating businesses,” but there’s reason for optimism, Nelson said.\nThe CFRA analyst singled out Fisker, Lucid Motors, which&nbsp;plans to go public via a SPAC merger with Churchill Capital Corp. IV&nbsp;and privately held electric-truck maker Rivian as companies that are better positioned than others.\nTesla, of course, has established a first-mover advantage widely viewed as substantial.\nThe UBS analysts calculate that Tesla has a cost advantage around $1,000 to $2,000 per electric vehicle over other auto makers, although competition is increasing. Volkswagen AG’s&nbsp;MEB platform, the auto maker’s building block for its electric vehicles, is already “fully cost competitive” with Tesla.\nVW, the No. 2 auto maker in the world, still lags behind in terms of battery costs, with Tesla likely to keep its price advantage in the battery space due to its vertical integration and technology advances, they said. Still, they see that large legacy auto makers such as VW would be able to reach an EV manufacturing cost and margin parity in four years.\nEVs, not AVs, could be the real game-changer\nRelated to investor’s inflows to electric-vehicle makers is the interest generated by lidar, batteries, sensors and other components hailed as key to autonomous vehicles.\nFull autonomy has been proven to be a stubborn and costly problem to solve, with regulatory and technological hurdles aplenty.\nDespite lofty goals, most cars on the road today offer advanced driver-assistance systems that are not dramatically different from previous years’ systems and still far from being the game-changer they are expected to be for lives and economies in a not-so-distant future.\nFor now, auto makers are mostly focusing on partial autonomy and ADAS offerings that can be commercialized in the short term, with EVs pulling ahead in terms of consumer interest and regulatory push.\n“EVs are simply a better product,” Blue Horizon’s Mitchell said.","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
