"Ideal market situation for the new disruptive technology to create a life time investing opportunity is when Demand for product or service is already there and you are able to deliver it in a new way, which will be more appealing to Existing consumers of this product or service. You have a dramatic shift in consumer preference and are gaining a market share in a tidal wave fashion by shifting consumers from existing providers to the new product or service place. You do not have to teach the market and prove that they need this product - you just need to prove that the new technology you are putting in place is viable to deliver the Better Experience."
Looks like Honda and Mitsubishi are up to the high volumes of Electric cars and bikes to be produced. Mitsubishi has announced before increase in Electric Cars output and now this battery maker is taking a very aggressive goal on production target.
