“On our platform today, we have 426,000 EV leasing deals, of which only 20,000 are Teslas. And we expect the number of EV deals to grow significantly over the next two to three years.
“The demand is there, with enquiries for electric cars on our site almost doubling in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
“And a recent survey we carried out revealed that a third of car owners would consider switching to electric when they buy or lease their next car.”
Tesla, Inc was founded in July 2003, with Elon Musk contributing to the company’s early investment.
