Swiecki: Electric Vehicles’ Time Has Come
Written by Tim Triplett
“Electric vehicles are having a moment,” said auto market expert Bernard Swiecki – a moment likely to last for years.
Swiecki’s Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich., is spending much of its time studying the sudden and surging interest in the various forms of low- or zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs), from plug-in hybrids, to pure battery electrics to futuristic fuel cell versions. “The vast majority of automotive investments this year have been somehow linked to either EVs or components. The pace has picked up and shows no signs of slowing,” he said during Steel Market Update’s Community Chat on Wednesday (click here for a recording of the webinar).
