Long gone are the days that Tesla the EV market almost to itself. With intensified competition from BYD Company Limited (OTC:BYDDY) and even newcomers like Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO), Tesla is forced to fight for its place under the EV sun. In addition, legacy automakers like Toyota, GM and Ford are determined to catch up. Although the Chinese brands succeeded to undercut Tesla on price in their home market, legacy automakers undoubtedly have their know-how on their side in building their competitive advantage on. By the looks of it, Toyota has finally picked up the pace, so the EV race is about to get even more interesting.
特斯拉曾经几乎垄断了电动汽车市场，但那已成为过去。BYD公司（场外交易：BYDDY）和新进入行业的蔚来公司（NYSE:NIO）日益加强竞争。此外，如丰田、通用汽车和福特这样的传统汽车制造商也决心追赶。尽管中国品牌在本土市场成功地压低了特斯拉的价格，但是传统汽车制造商在其领域的专业知识无疑是他们的竞争优势。从目前的形势看，丰田汽车终于加速了步伐，所以电动汽车竞赛正变得更加有趣。
