BEV demand may stall next year – Bloomberg Intelligence
Legacy brands have started to pull back on battery-electric vehicle (BEV) ambitions, and Bloomberg Intelligence’s (BI’s) new car buyers’ poll suggests demand will stall in Europe with consumers wary due to high BEV prices, range anxiety and a lack of charging points. A scaling back should support 2024 margins as lucrative ICE (internal combustion engine) profit faces less dilution from BEVs, while margins are likely to retreat at pureplays such as Tesla.
