As kaeslers as ka eslers latest as kaeslers latest earnings shift into high gear we look at china and india leading asias ambitions for Electric Cars. Teslas latest. And the dow pushes past 22,000 mark. Will the rally extends to asia. Kickstand to asia 7 will the rally extends to asia. Kickstand to asia . Welcome to Asia Business report. I am Sharanjit Leyl business report. I am Sharanjit Leyl. We begin with the auto sector. Electric Car Maker Temper tesla just reported revenues of more than 2 billion for the april june quarter, more than doubling. The electric car maker burnt through more than 1 billion in that quarter, ramping up production for its mass market model three, released last week. There are about half a million pre orders for the model three. Asia has its own ambitions when it comes to Electric Cars. China has mandated 8 of all vehicles sold the new energy cars by 2019. India has vowed to make all ca is 2019. India has vowed to make all cars sold electric i 2030. Earlier i spoke to an auto analyst in sydney. I think you have to differentiate chinese case from the indian case. If you look at the background statistics, china has a penetration of Electric Cars around 1. 4 , higher than the us. They accounted for half of all you will Electric Cars registered in 2016, around 250,000 a year. They are on a naked trajectory. Also, china has an ability to provide infrastructure, because it is a decision by the government. 150,000 Public Charging spots exist already. I am more confident about the chinese case. There are lots of manufacturers of Electric Vehicles and hardly anybody else. Bid and baic, they Cell Tens Of Thousands of cars per month, and found a widespread brands because they are only in china. If you look at india, i think that is a greater challenge. The current penetration is 0. 02 . They sold 11,000 Electric Vehicles in 2016 and only 1000 were ca is vehicles in 2016 and only 1000 were cars out of that. That is a long way to go when it goes to 100 penetration. Which countries and manufacturer s will stand to gain from this potential increase . Manufacturers. Honestly, ithink china might be one of the countries benefiting from india, because they have ca rs benefiting from india, because they have cars which are underneath the 40,000 range. If you look at the growth of National Income per capita in china and india, it is about 7,000, so it would take five years, and on top of it, tesla is not even present in india get. So i think the european manufacturers or american manufacturer s would have to have a lower entry point on the model three to crack the market in india. We can now go to the Assembly Line in the United States were Factory Workers of japanese Automaker Nissan are set to vote on the right to form are set to vote on the right to form a union.
