In the startup world from funding perspective it need not be either bootstrapping or fund raising.

A few succeed being bootstrapped while a vast majority seek funds and some raise it. Founders make their choices. Investors make their choices too.

In the EV ( Electric Vehicle) ecosystem again the narrative need not be either -or scenario.

  1. battery swapping stations or charging stations
  2. 2. wireless charging or wired charging
  3. 3. OEM A ( leader) or OEM X,Y,Z manufacturing EV’s as long as they produce safe ones and it’s value for money for different classes of customers.
  4. 4 lithium -ion or Aluminium-air batteries.
  5. 5. level -2 or fast charging

All these solutions have its place. depending on locations or time and attracts customers as per their needs.

What’s important is the outcome or experiences for the customers. More the players with great solutions it’s better for the customers.

However, irrespective of the solutions for consumers what matters is affordable & Safe EV’s, Reliable charging experience every time with minimal maintenance and value for money on their investments.

All these solutions will evolve and co-exist and a few may not exist if they don’t meet the consumer expectations in the future.
