Part 4/12:
Ives estimates that by 2025, revenue from Ford and GM vehicles using Tesla’s Superchargers could contribute an additional $3-4 billion annually, translating roughly into $400 million in profit. When calculated across Tesla's 3.5 billion shares, this profit can be estimated to add approximately $8 of earnings per share, which, applying a typical price-to-earnings ratio of 72, could boost Tesla’s stock value by around $8 per share. While not an outlandish figure, it demonstrates that the Supercharger network's profitability will have a measurable impact on Tesla's valuation as more automakers form partnerships for access.
