Consumers are switching to electric vehicles (EVs) at an exponential rate. Battery makers are racing to keep up with the corresponding demand for high energy storage. Governments around the world are implementing new policies to combat climate change and facilitate the switch to EVs, like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the United States. However, it may be difficult for investors to capitalize on this multi-decade trend because it spans multiple subsectors and countries. The KraneShares Electric Vehicles & Future Mobility ESG Screened UCITS ETF (Ticker: KARS) was designed to capture global corporations operating primarily in Asia, Europe, and the United States who are involved in various forms of transportation such as passenger and freight, which include EVs, autonomous vehicles, and shared mobility.
