Automotive Sector Rattled by Groundbreaking Electric Vehicles and Surge in Recalls




The auto industry is on the verge of a big change with the upcoming release of two highly anticipated hypercars. 

Alfa Romeo is taking a bold, and unfortunately inevitable, step towards "saving the planet" by launching its first electric vehicle (EV). This move shows the brand's commitment to a greener future and represents a shift in the industry's focus towards eco-friendly vehicles. At the same time, Lancia is also preparing to introduce its first EV, marking an important move in the brand's long overdue revival. With the growing popularity of EVs, these new offerings from Alfa Romeo and Lancia show the industry's dedication to innovation and sustainability, and of course a need to beat the petrol and diesel bans that have now been delayed in the UK until the mid 2030's.

There is however, always a "however", and in this case the however, is that Tesla, who until now have been streaming ahead of the pack, is facing a major challenge as it recalls over 2 million cars to improve the safety of its Autopilot feature. On the positive side (if you can call it such), this recall does demonstrate Tesla's commitment to ensuring the safety of its drivers and passengers, which has to be a good thing right! This dedication to continuous improvement and safety seems to be setting the standard for the whole industry, and long may it continue. 

But the road to success for EVs is not without it's obstacles. For example, industry experts predict that the Tesla Model Y may not qualify for the full EV tax credit in 2024, which of course was one of the big draws to EV in the first place. This potential setback poses a challenge for those considering buying the Model Y and highlights the complexities of government incentives in the EV market.
