12.7 million battery electric vehicles were sold globally in 2025. In 2010, the number was barely 10,000. In China, 1 in 2 new cars sold last year was electric. The transition is happening faster than almost anyone predicted.

In 2017 we had Chinese businesses visitors over. I drove them around in my Model X. I thought they’d be impressed by an electric car, but they were mostly surprised how few there were on the road compared to China.

Die wären bestimmt auch überrascht gewesen, dass wir keine Atomkraftwerke mehr haben und wie China nicht alle vier Tage ein Kohlekraftwerk bauen. Erst muss genug Strom da sein, der Strom muss günstig sein, er muss stabil sein, dann kann man über das Thema E – Auto oder Wärmepumpe reden. Nicht andersherum.
