According to the research director, John Gartner, “Automotive companies have made a strong commitment to electric vehicles, and their viability as transportation platform is no longer in doubt.” - a simple yet strong statement which is, in fact, true. Also, research indicates that plug-in EVs will hit the 1 million per year mark in 2017 and then reach 1.7-million vehicles sold per year, by 2020.
