Jay McKinsey + 1,490 March 9, 2022 1 minute ago, Ecocharger said: That is not the question, the question is about used vehicles markets, where the EVs do not exist. EVs are about less than 1% of vehicle markets, not worth the ink you are spilling over it. No, the question I asked was about the new vehicle market. You know, the market that matters. The used car market is just a derivative. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notsonice + 1,255 DM March 9, 2022 Ford plans to produce 2 million EVs annually, generate 10% operating profit by 2026 PUBLISHED WED, MAR 2 20229:21 AM ESTUPDATED THU, MAR 3 20227:33 AM EST Michael Wayland@MIKEWAYLAND SHAREShare Article via FacebookShare Article via TwitterShare Article via LinkedInShare Article via Email KEY POINTS Ford plans to produce more than 2 million electric vehicles annually and generate a 10% adjusted operating profit margin by 2026. Both targets would be substantial increases from the company’s current operations. Ford and other major automakers are racing to create production capacity for EVs to meet what’s expected to be rapid adoption in the emerging segment this decade. In this article F+0.09 (+0.56%) Ford has started initial pre-production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck at a new plant in Dearborn, Mich. Michael Wayland | CNBC Ford Motor plans to produce more than 2 million electric vehicles annually and generate a 10% adjusted operating profit margin by 2026, the company announced Wednesday as part of a larger restructuring of its EV and legacy businesses. Both targets would be substantial increases from the company’s current operations. Ford reported a 7.3% adjusted operating profit in 2021. It only sold roughly 64,000 of its all-electric Mustang Mach E crossovers globally in 2021, including 27,140 in the U.S. Ford’s restructuring plan includes reorganizing operations to separate its electric and internal combustion engine, or ICE, businesses into different units within the automaker. The plans were lauded by investors, sending shares of the automaker up 8.4% on Wednesday to $18.10 a share. Ford’s stock is down about 13% this year. “We applaud Ford’s decision to take the first important step to optimize the competing missions of the EV/ICE businesses,” Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said Wednesday in an investor note. “In our opinion, other legacy auto OEMs may be planning something similar.

notsonice + 1,255 DM March 9, 2022 GM Hopes to Deliver 400,000 EVs in North America by 2024 CEO Mary Barra presented the ambitious goal and announced a third electric truck factory to investors on Tuesday. BY CALEB MILLER FEB 3, 2022 GMC General Motors CEO Mary Barra told investors Tuesday that GM plans to deliver 400,000 EVs by the end of 2023, according to Automotive News. Barra also said that GM will build a third electric truck factory to supplement Factory Zero and the Orion assembly plant, which will be converted to build the Silverado EV. GM sold fewer than 25,000 EVs last year but plans to launch several electric models in the next two years. Nearly every automaker has made bold promises about the number of electric vehicles they will introduce in the coming decade, but their ambitious plans ultimately depend on Americans actually buying EVs over gas-powered cars. Electrified vehicles—including plug-in and traditional hybrid vehicles—still made up less than 10 percent of overall car sales in the United States in 2021. Nonetheless, General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced Tuesday that GM aims to deliver 400,000 EVs in North America by the end of 2023, as reported by Automotive News. CAR AND DRIVER To help meet this lofty goal, GM plans to release 20 EVs in the United States through 2025, with 10 additional EVs for global markets. GM announced last week that it would convert the Orion assembly plant, which currently makes the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV, to build the Chevy Silverado EV and its yet-to-be-revealed GMC Sierra counterpart. The Factory Zero plant in Detroit is already building the GMC Hummer EV, and Barra said Tuesday that it will add a third factory dedicated to electric trucks. A planned facility in Lansing, Michigan, will construct the Ultium battery that is set to underpin many of GM's upcoming EVs. MORE GM EV NEWS 2024 Chevy Silverado EV Will Have 400-Mile Range 2022 GMC Hummer EV Is Built to Wow 2024 Chevy Equinox EV Will Start at around $30,000 Barra said that these investments will result in more than a million units of EV capacity—including 600,000 full-size trucks—in North America by the end of 2025. Last year, GM sold fewer than 25,000 EVs in the U.S.—24,828 Bolt EV and EUVs were delivered, while just one Hummer EV reached a customer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The number 1,2,4 and 7 in demand used cars in the US are PEV You made this claim but your chart is talking about something else entirely. When you say that the demand for used EV's exceeds supply, you're not actually saying anything about the demand for EV's as opposed to ICE's. You're running in another direction. You should have figured that I was going to ask the following, and I now will: Does the demand for used EV's vastly outweigh the demand for used ICE's?

KeyboardWarrior + 527 March 9, 2022 (edited) The decision to buy an EV is a function of car cost, recharge cost, and maintenance, before we begin to discuss more elusive variables like convenience (IE recharging time) or the feeling of satisfaction that some knuckleheads feel when they think they're saving the planet. All of these have lower limits for price reduction. Some people need to figure out how well these lower limits size up to the associated costs of an ICE.

No, the chart is talking about exactly what I claimed.

A customer may have highest demand for a product not in supply and fall back to what is in supply. The absorption rate (aka fastest selling, time on market) is an extremely important indicator for demand. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
