economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale defines the advantage to company in terms of cost, that is with each increasing unit of output the cost for additional unit tends to decline.

All electric car segment do not currently operate or have competition as there is low market for such segments, but as the market is small for electric cars.

But as the company thinks to benefit in small scale because of economies of scale, the company might choose this electric car segment, encouraging customers, and with decreasing cost, company will be benefit.
