Tesla , which ignited the wick of electrification in the automotive sector , is sitting in the leadership seat by 2022 in this field. The company is ahead of its major competitors, including Volkswagen, with its popular cars such as the Model Y and Model 3 . But that will soon change, according to the latest report. Because the company may lose its leadership seat to one of its biggest competitors in a few years.
Tesla upset: Volkswagen could be a leader in electric cars
Bloomberg Intelligence has published a new report that sheds light on the future of the automotive industry. Accordingly, Tesla will maintain its top position in electric car sales for the next 18 months. But later, Volkswagen will push Tesla out of the leadership seat by surpassing the production volume and sales figures by 2024 at the latest.
The report emphasized that the vast majority of manufacturers will lag behind Tesla in electric car sales by 2025. Considering that Volkswagen will be the market leader by 2024, it is possible to say that Tesla and Volkswagen will dominate the industry together in a few years.
The chart published by Bloomberg Intelligence confirms all this data. Because in 2025, we see that Volkswagen is the leader, Tesla is the second and Chinese BYD is the third in sales. We also come across companies such as Ford, Changan , General Motors , Stellantis, Geely, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota .
