Two-thirds of this reserved for Europe, with the remainder reserved for China and the United States.
The reason behind ID4's success
Senior analyst of JATO Felipe. Munoz explains the reason behind ID4'S rased sales, "However, there have been very few choices in the SUV segment, and we have to remember that SUVs are the drivers of sales/profits growth over the last 10years. Without SUVs, the EVs will continue to be a niche segment." said Munoz.
He assumes that the share for low emissions vehicles may rise to 20% to 25% by the end of this year in Europe. He adds up by saying the government incentives and increasing demand are the reason behind the increased sales. Also, the arrival of more models and decreasing cost can make it more affordable.
