What's interesting is to see if the scale of dominance is held on by the California-based EV giant. This is especially because the likes of Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen and others have either rolled out or will drive out several new models this year and in the times to come. With advancements in battery technology, prices of EVs could also come down significantly.
