Given the current emphasis on integrating ESG criteria into investment portfolios, the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector continues to present a major investment opportunity as governments are required to introduce electric vehicle incentives while consumers are encouraged to factor sustainability into their transportation decisions. As seen on the left chart, demand for new energy vehicles continues to soar across the world, with China having the largest number of NEVs in use. The chart on the right shows that the development of a charging ecosystem to support the fleet of electric vehicles will likely be the next big investment opportunity. Having the ability to charge the vehicles quickly and conveniently should further encourage consumer uptake of NEVs and create an even more fertile ground in the sector for long term investment.
