EV Market Share Increases

The good news for clean energy advocates doesn’t stop there. Moreover, it’s just begun. Electrified vehicles increased market share from 4.6% in 2017 to 6.0% in 2018. Furthermore, What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford praised the e-Niro for its mentality-shifting technology.

“The e-Niro stood out because it addresses the key issues of cost and range that have traditionally prevented many motorists from taking the plunge into EV ownership.” Additionally, the vehicle is lauded for its spaciousness. It’s a very practical option for families.

Award Hints at Lithium’s Future Role

The award signifies a shift in both industry and consumer mentality. First, that gas-powered vehicles are the only option for families on the go. Second, that electric vehicles can’t compete with conventional vehicles. Third, that major automakers now consider EV development a priority. As a result, lithium-ion battery use is set to multiply.
