Still playing with data, decided to add a seasonal term. The experience of 2019 is really bucking the trend likely for reasons @Doggydogworld has outlined. Thanks!

"EVs Could Outsell Gas Cars by 2040" :rolleyes:
Another clueless "analyst". (probably off by 10-15 years)
 
Teslarati: Tesla exec explains where ‘real competition’ is coming from, and why the battle is far from over. Tesla exec explains where ‘real competition’ is coming from, and why the battle is far from over

Viecha noted in a Twitter post that he had been asked about Tesla’s competitors practically daily for the past five years. But despite the prevalence of the idea that new EV makers are competing with Tesla to gain a bigger share of the electric vehicle segment, the Head of Investor Relations noted that ultimately, the discussion should not even be about the EV market. Instead, it has to be about the fact that even this year, well over 90% of vehicles that are sold would be equipped with the internal combustion engine. “For the past 5 years, I’ve been asked some version of “and what about all the competitors” pretty much daily. Well over 90% of cars sold *this year* will be ICEs. It’s the ICEs that lose share to *all* competitive EVs. It’s surprising that this is still not an established view,” Viecha wrote.
 
I'm confused, are they doubling from today, or is the two year target doubling from what the target was?

According to post 545 upthread on this page the target was 282k in 2025.

New target is a run rate of 600k BEVs by December 2023.

This is before their new battery GF and new electric vehicle factories open.

Which suggest 2nd and possible 3rd shift for Mach-e.

And new production line for Lightning somewhere.

Ford (incl Lincoln) has to sell ~200k/year EVs in Europe by then to meet 95g. I figure most will be MEBs built in Europe, plus continued Mach E sales.

They sell enough vehicles in China that I guess they'll need ~100k/year there by then. Maybe more if they pursue the Mini segment.

So a 300k/year run rate in North America two years from now? That's ambitious. I don't see 100k+ Mach Es without much lower pricing. Lincoln models are very low volume. That leaves Lightning. I strongly suspect fleet orders. Those guys buy on TCO, and many value the green PR. They also do enough volume to convince Ford to integrate Lightning into the main production lines instead of assembling them in the side factory.

Meanwhile, GM appears to be going nowhere. ;)


"In October 2017, GM announced that it would release 20 new EVs by 2023 – just over five years from then, and just over one year from now. How’s that going? If GM’s booth at the LA Auto Show is any indication (and it is): Not very well. This complete lack of anything electric is made worse by the fact that GM promised it wouldn’t be this way. In October 2017, GM said they would have “at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023.” GM president Mark Reuss added that “these aren’t just words in a war of press releases.” And one year ago, they upped that ante to 30 new EVs by 2025. At the time, GM was producing exactly one EV, the Chevy Bolt, and one PHEV, the Chevy Volt. Now, it is currently producing exactly zero EVs, since the Volt is out of production and Chevy Bolt EV lines are currently halted.

GM has had four years out of the five they gave themselves, and they haven’t made any progress whatsoever on their promise. They’ve launched one EV (Bolt EUV) and stopped three production lines (Volt, and temporarily the Bolt and EUV). If they had delivered on even 20% of their promise in the four years since they made it, they’d still at least have more EVs now than they did then. But they didn’t, and they have nothing."

But.... ?!? Biden told us that GM was leading the EV revolution????

But.... ?!? Biden told us that GM was leading the EV revolution????
Sad but true... Biden is losing it more quickly than we thought.


"US President Joe Biden was at the inauguration of GM’s Factory Zero yesterday, the company’s first electric vehicle factory, and he gave a speech in which he gave credit to GM CEO Mary Barra for “electrifying the entire auto industry.” Fact check: Biden is dead wrong about that.

If you know anything about the auto industry, you’d think that this is a joke, but Biden literally followed up by adding that he is “serious.” As if there was a laugh track
. Now Biden appears to give Barra credit for her announcement that GM is going “all-electric by 2035.”

The only way that GM would be “leading” is if that was actually ahead of other automakers or if other automakers, like Tesla, haven’t achieved being all-electric, which they did. If you want to give someone credit, give it to Tesla and Elon Musk, but that’s not even the point. You also have to look at the context in which GM made that announcement. You can’t forget that before Biden was elected, GM backed Donald Trump’s effort to curtail California’s right to implement stricter emission standards that forced automakers like GM to produce more electric vehicles.
GM was literally suing the state to slow down EV adoption."

The trend is your friend. The trend in BEV sales over the last 10 years indicates that BEV will dominate auto sales in 2027.

The log scales used for market share in the first chart is useful to see that in the early stages the logistic curve is nearly exponential, linear on the log scale. The enables us to see that the trend is pretty stable. Specifically, trend in the first five years is very much in line with the the last 5 years. We're only about 6 years away from BEV dominance, so the trend seen here only needs to hold up for another 6 years.

1637355740922.png


Anyone speculating that dominance won't come until 2040 is ignoring the historical trend or suggesting that some exogenous for will step in to dramatically alter it within the next couple of years. It would be helpful if such analyst were to say what they think this trend bending force is, rather than just passing it off as conservatism. There is a conservation of momentum that is baked into the capital cycle.

Of course, it's fine to disagree. We can check back a year from now and see if there is any meaningful deviation from the trend. This trend is expecting about 9.1% in 2022 and 13.7% in 2023. 2021 (actual thru Q3 and forecasted for Q4) is coming in a bit high. If the trend is bending, it could just as well bend up or down. We'll see. Anyone can speculate on various causes in either direction. So I find it useful just to accept the trend and see how it holds up. I'd like to believe that BEVs reach more than 80% by 2030, but right now the trend says we're on pace to hit just 80%.

Indeed it says 20% in 2024, 50% in 2027 and 80%. This implies nearly linear growth on the ordinary market share scale from 2024 to 2030, as seen in chart below. Thus, it will become more obvious to the general public that EV market share is in serious growth mode. Certainly, the exponential growth phase prior to 2024 is much more serious growth than after 2024, but the general public has a hard time appreciating log-scale charts or understanding exponential growth. But the general public will appreciate massive absolute growth that happens in the second half of the decade. In the last 6 years of the decade, an average of 10% points of market share will shift each year. This phase will be absolutely brutal for unprepared automakers. It's easy for analysts to get this backwards when they try to build out forecasts. They can think that big auto can't transition that quickly; ergo, the transition must go slower. But the more brutal logic is: if any auto company can't keep up with that pace of transition; it will lose market share and may even go out of business. This is the nature of disruptive innovation; most legacy players will not survive it intact. But any analyst that is factoring in the plans of legacy automakers will be basing their forecast on transition rate that is slow enough that legacy companies think they can survive. Put simply, the legacy industry thinks it can survive a transition where BEVs hit 50% around 2040. This is the outlook of players that will not survive the disruption if it continues at the pace of the last 10 years.

So a 300k/year run rate in North America two years from now? That's ambitious. I don't see 100k+ Mach Es without much lower pricing.

The rumored goal this year for Mach-e was 50k. As of Oct 31 they had sold 53k worldwide.

Farley says there is demand for 200k Mach-e per year at current pricing.

And Norwegian customers are pestering Norwegian Ford dealers about the F-150 Lightning. Wouldn't hurt to ship 1k Lightning Platinums to to Norway. Or a Norwegian special edition Lightning Kings Ranch. My guess is if a Norwegian is going to buy an F-150 he wants the whole hog American experience.
