Here’s to a cleaner, more connected future in U.S. transportation! #EVCharging #Monta #SustainableMobility #ElectricFuture #USExpansion

Ola Electric Mobility Ltd., the electric vehicle pioneer, made a its debut on the stock market, listing at its issue price of Rs. 76 per share. This flat performance, coupled with a mere 4.45 times subscription, underscores the challenges the company faces in gaining investor confidence.While Ola Electric's vision for the EV market is ambitious, the company's current financial performance, marked by consistent losses, and the highly competitive landscape have tempered investor enthusiasm. The negative grey market sentiment prior to listing further reflected these concerns.The flat listing highlights the need for Ola Electric to demonstrate a clear path to profitability and navigate the complexities of the EV market effectively. Investors are suggested to exit and book a minor profit, but those who want to take risks may hold their position by keeping a stop loss below 70.

Electric cars make a lot more sense. 1. They are cheaper to make, 2. cheaper to run, 3. equally convenient to use (10min to recharge) as combustion engine cars. This all works like that, once you hit the right scale of production and recharging infrastracture. China is there already, Europe will catchup soon. Like in any long-term trends, there will be always some market wiggles (like lower dynamics in YoY sales). And if you maintain the right perspective, these temporary headwinds could come not as a threat, but as opportunities to catalyse even faster growth. Heartfelt congratulations to both the Eleport and Turbovolt teams for completing this acquisition process at lightning speed. Many thanks to our board and shareholders for their long-term outlook and unwavering support for this bold move. https://lnkd.in/dskk8nxH

Our latest report delves into the potential of electric vehicle adoption in the Middle East, where the market, though still in its early stages, could reach $54 billion by 2035. Government policies and early movers will be key to unlocking this growth. Partner Karim Henain highlights that early entrants have a unique opportunity to lead the way, establishing strong brand presence and securing prime locations for charging infrastructure as the EV market evolves. https://bit.ly/4f1MciP

Brazil’s electric vehicles association ABVE estimates the country will more than double its recharging infrastructure in the next two years, reaching 10,000 electric stations compared to the current 4,600. The growth is stimulating companies like VoltBras, a provider of technologies for managing the monitoring and operating of electric vehicle chargers. In this interview with BNamericas, the group’s COO, Rodolfo Levien, says it has capitalized to expand its operations, including in other Latin American countries. #energy #electromobility #electricvehicles #esg #energytransition https://lnkd.in/db-RuEaW

⚡ The state of public EV charging in Europe 2024 ⚡ I'm excited to announce that at Zoniq we've just released a comprehensive report on the state of public EV charging infrastructure in Europe for 2024. This report dives into regional trends, occupancy rates, and future forecasts—one of the many ways we’re actively contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable and green future. I’m proud of the work our team has done to support the growth of EVs and accelerate the shift to clean mobility. I'd also like to thank all partners, clients, and data providers that helped us and contributed (in alphabetical order): A2A, Atlante, EnBW mobility+ AG & Co.
