The electric vehicle sector, however, is still small: it represents only 3% of current sales in the United States, however, it generates great media interest and investment.
The US giant General Motors (GM) plans to invest more than 35,000 million dollars in electric vehicles and robots between now and 2025. Meanwhile, the US authorities plan to spend billions to strengthen the network of charging stations or incite individuals to abandon their polluting vehicles.
