It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] Electric vehicles are taking over the world. You know it. I know it. The market knows it. Consumers want to drive electric vehicles these days. Indeed, 60% of today’s prospective car buyers want to buy an EV. Lawmakers want you to drive an EV, too. More than 200 cities across the world have a “100% clean energy” target for 2030, 2040, and 2050. Plus, these cars are driving farther, lasting longer, getting cheaper, and becoming much, much more accessible. Oh, and not to mention, every auto maker from Ford ( F ) to Jeep to Rolls-Royce ( RYCEY ) is launching new EVs. So, I repeat: Electric vehicles are taking over the world . This isn’t something that will happen tomorrow or over the next few years. It’s happening right now. In Q1 of 2022, Tesla ( TSLA ) delivered a record-high 310,048 vehicles.
