Comme il a déjà été annoncé il y a plus d'un an, les acteurs de la mobilité vont se diversifier. De nouveaux puissants arrivent parmi lesquels le secteur de la bancassurance (voir note précédente ici).
A noter les propos de Stuart Gulliver, Executive Director, HSBC Holdings and Chief Executive of Global Banking and Markets : “We believe the switch from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles will create future growth opportunities in the auto and utility industries, and we are delighted to take the opportunity of investing in Better Place to put HSBC at the heart of these developments. Better Place is a private-sector solution to the issue of infrastructure provision for electric cars and can succeed without government subsidy and without sacrificing consumer expectations for personal mobility.”
