PA Consulting was severely wrong, as predicted correctly by the crowd. The forecast plummetted immediately after trading start in 2018, with three years to go. And in fact, Tesla remained #1 with 936,000 cars sold in 2021. Ze Germans do not even make top 3.

The top EV brands in 2021, according to EV-Volumes: [4]

  1. Tesla - 936,172
  2. BYD - 593,878
  3. SAIC-GM-Wuling - 456,123
  4. Volkswagen - 319,735
  5. BMW - 276,037
  6. Mercedes-Benz - 228,144

  8. Volvo - 189,115
  9. Audi - 171,371
  10. Hyundai - 159,343
  11. Kia - 158,134

Ex-ante: Are the Germans winning?

SpaceX - Falcon Heavy Demo Mission - Copyright: Tesla CC0By 2021, German carmakers will push Tesla from the throne as the world's number one electric carmaker, says PA Consulting Group's Head of Automotive, Thomas Göttle. Their key rationale is an expected onslaught of new electric models in the next three years.

Boldly, Göttle even forecasts that Elon Musk's company will lose its lead altogether and decline to just position #7 within only three years. At the same time, he expects Merzedes-Benz to ascend steeply from #5 to #1, possibly on the back of an interesting strategy focusing on Daimler's battery production capability.
