Creating a blueprint for this new blending of technologies, Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) is focused on the convergence of financial services and industries experiencing technological disruption and with its Mobility and Capital divisions . These divisions are operative service providers with Ideanomics Mobility facilitating the adoption of electric vehicles with commercial fleet operators with procurement, batteries, insurance, rebates, and lease financing, while Ideanomics Capital focuses on disruptive fintech solutions for the financial services industry.

World renowned Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), a tech company at heart, is the current global leader in electric vehicles in January reported, “In 2020, we produced and delivered half a million vehicles, in line with our most recent guidance. In addition, Model Y production in Shanghai has begun, with deliveries expected to begin shortly.”
Tesla, according to its website “also offers leasing and/or loan financing arrangements for our vehicles in certain jurisdictions in North America, Europe and Asia through various financial institutions.”
Always an innovator and ahead of the curve, Tesla recently turned heads with headlines that it had entered into the cryptocurrency market by purchasing $1.5 Billion and announcing in their 10K that it will “begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future.”
NIO Limited (NYSE: NIO), a pioneer in China’s premium smart electric vehicle market, provided its January 2021 delivery results.

You can’t mention tech, fintech and electric cars without the future of the Apple Car. From their site: ‘Perhaps Apple's worst kept secret, the "Apple Car" is being developed for a 2024 or later release. Rumors speculate that it will be a fully featured self-driving electric vehicle that will compete with Tesla and other EVs. Apple could partner with other popular manufacturers like Hyundai or BMW, or seek another option.’
The street has been talking how Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is poised to be part of the crypto revolution. RBC Capital Markets, in a report says “Apple’s install base is 1.5 billion, and even if we assume only 200 million users would transact, this is 6.66x larger than Square,” according to the report. “Therefore, the potential revenue opportunity would be in excess of $40 billion a year (15% incremental top-line opportunity).”
News broke on Friday, February 12th that BitPay, the world’s largest provider of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment services announced that US cardholders of the BitPay Prepaid Mastercard can add their card to Apple Wallet™ and spend with Apple Pay®. With Apple Pay®, BitPay cardholders can make secure purchases in stores, with apps and online. In addition, customers waiting on delivery of their plastic card can add their virtual card to Apple Wallet via the BitPay Wallet app and can start spending immediately. Support for Google Pay and Samsung Pay is planned for later this quarter.
We are witnessing this evolution at a rapid speed and investors are seeing some of the biggest gains in a short period of time in the cleantech space. With President Biden’s new initiatives and mandates for lower emissions, and global consumers growing demand for EV’s, the addition of innovative fintech will help accelerate future growth.
