MUSK AND BEZOS FEUD GOES ELECTRIC WITH AMAZON'S ANSWER TO TESLA

Electric cars represent the future of motoring. As the climate crisis worsens and we look for sustainable alternatives to fossil-fuelled travel, the number of battery operated vehicles on the roads is increasing with charging stations popping up in cities all over the world. Tesla is widely thought to be “a king amongst carmakers” within the green automotive industry. As one of the first companies to have conquered the Electric Vehicle (EV) market, the brainchild of Elon Musk is now worth €152 billion.
But forget cars, what about delivery trucks? Transporting 14.7 billion tonnes of goods per year, trucks deliver 76.7 per cent of all goods carried over land in Europe, according to the ACEA. That’s a lot of driving, generating a hefty carbon footprint. Now, the next EV race is between start-ups  like Rivian and Arrival who are looking to deliver goods using electric, and eventually self-driving, vans. Could Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos be about to place another big order with Rivian, bringing his billionaire tech feud with Elon Musk to new heights?
