IKEA just unveiled a massive bet on electric cars. Misschien krijgen we wel hulp uit Zweden. Dit kan de boel natuurlijk ook versnellen. Goedkoper maken, dus de acceptatie versnellen.
IKEA zoekt ook nog investeringen/participaties
nordic.businessinsider.com/ikea-just-...Ikea hopes to boost sales for EV manufacturers and hence reduce the prices on electric vehicles. The relatively high prices of EV's are currently holding many potential buyers back, according to Pia Heidenmark-Cook.
Ikea is part of a coalition of ten global corporates, called
EV100, that announced its support for electric vehicles this week. Ikea is joined by companies including Unilever, DHL, HP, Baidu and Swedish energy company Vattenfall.
"We want to make electric transport the normal," said Helen Clarkson, CEO for The Climate Group, the international nonprofit spearheading the effort.
Ikea sees the initiative, which runs towards 2030, as a springboard for making further investments.
“We are also looking at the possibility of
investing in companies that promote the transition towards electric cars, or
entering long-term partnership to show that this is important,” says Heidenmark-Cook to DN.
