The Dominance of Infrastructure
Take Tesla, for instance. Yes, they build the cars, but I think their Supercharger network is their quietest, most brilliant asset. If electric motoring is to become the default, charging stations will need to be as common as petrol pumps. Of course, Tesla dominates the market capitalisation in this space, which means any basket heavily weighted towards them will likely live or die by their specific fortunes. That concentration brings obvious risks.
Then you have companies like ChargePoint. Let us be honest, range anxiety is still the main reason most people cling to their combustion engines. ChargePoint is trying to bridge that infrastructure gap. It is a smaller company, and with smaller companies comes a significantly higher risk profile. They might solve the charging puzzle, or they might struggle against economic headwinds.
