EditAre the Germans winning?
By 2021, German carmakers will push Tesla from the throne as the world's number one electric carmaker, says PA Consulting Group's Head of Automotive, Thomas Göttle. Their key rationale is an expected onslaught of new electric models in the next three years.
Boldly, Göttle even forecasts that Elon Musk's company will lose its lead altogether and decline to just position #7 within only three years. At the same time, he expects Merzedes-Benz to ascend steeply from #5 to #1, possibly on the back of an interesting strategy focusing on Daimler's battery production capability.
