An electric motorcycle manufacturer, Energica, will now expand to Japan and Australia thanks to a partnership with Ideanomics.

Energica Motors is a leader in the electric motorcycle market. Thanks to capital supplied to them via a recent investment from Ideanomics – an investment firm focused on growing EV adoption – the Italian company has been allowed to expand. Specifically, Energica will expand to two massive markets; Australia and Japan.

According to the press release from Energica today, the company will begin to deliver bikes to the two countries in Q1 2023, and they will be initially selling three of their four models; the Energica Ego sportbike, the EsseEsse9+ naked bike, and the Eva Ribelle hyper naked. Energica’s newest mode, the Experia touring bike, will be available for order shortly after.

As pointed out by the Italian brand, Australia and Japan are vital markets for Energica to enter to grow its overall market share. Japan, in particular, already has a vast market of over 10 million two-wheeled vehicles registered in the country and a rich history of producing some of the most prolific motorcycles in the world from brands like Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and the world’s biggest motorcycle maker; Honda.

Japan’s long history of motorcycle racing was another factor that attracted Energica to the country. “Japan is a key market for us. Energica’s presence in Japan was sealed in August at the eight-hour Suzuka Circuit, where our bikes were acclaimed for their performance during the numerous test laps at this prestigious and world-renowned endurance race,” says Livia Cevolini, Energica Motor Company CEO.

While perhaps not as significant of a market, Australia has seen a rapidly growing demand for motorcycles overall, as well as a concerted effort to electrify its vehicles. Both factors make it a key market for Energica to enter.

This multi-national expansion is far from Energica’s only expansion effort this year. In Q4 alone, the company has added 130 new “sales points,” including dealerships and importers worldwide. Each of these achievements is cited by Energica’s parent company Ideanomics regarding how the company will increase revenue and value overall.

“Ideanomics has committed to extending Energica’s footprint across the globe,” says Robin Mackie, Ideanomics Mobility CEO. “This new market entry into Japan and Australia will contribute to what we anticipate a strong fourth quarter and long-term consistent revenue growth.”

With legacy motorcycle manufacturers also coming to realize that the age of the ICE vehicle is coming to an end, the prospect of a successful electric motorcycle brand such as Energica is exciting and encouraging. Hopefully, it can show legacy brands that this is not the end of motorcycles as we know them.

Tesla’s recent job postings on its Careers website seem to show its next market entry, and it is a bit of a surprise.

Moving forward, Tesla is basically looking to expand its footprint wherever possible. It has already made a major splash in various global markets, and it has managed to make its way to several regions where things were more difficult and delayed.

Most notably, this includes India, where Tesla just recently started operations.

However, the company is now looking to expand in the Western Hemisphere, and recent job postings from Tesla show that it has its eyes set on a new South American market: Colombia.

The locations include Medellin and Bogota, two of Colombia’s most populated and important regions.

Tesla’s presence in South America is extremely limited, and if it decides to launch in Colombia in the coming weeks, it will only be the second country on the continent where the company has a dedicated presence.

Tesla has only two Supercharger locations in all of South America, both in Chile, and both are located near Santiago, a major city situated in the center of the country. One major thing Tesla will need to do after launching in more countries across South America is to establish a more dedicated charging presence.

Tesla Superchargers follow Model 3 and Model Y to South American country

It is surprising Tesla has not tried to enter Argentina or Brazil, but demand has to be there, and South America is not necessarily a hotbed for electric vehicles.

However, last year saw significant growth in the market for EV demand, with a 187 percent increase year over year, led by Brazil and Uruguay. These statistics come from Bloomberg.

Tesla Q3 deliveries could exceed expectations: Wolfe Research

“Q3 is poised to be a strong quarter,” the firm noted.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) could deliver a stronger-than-expected third quarter, as per Wolfe Research, which stated that the EV maker’s vehicle deliveries could reach between 465,000 and 470,000 units this Q3 2025. 

Such results would represent a 22% increase from Q2, topping consensus estimates of 445,000. “Q3 is poised to be a strong quarter,” the firm noted.

U.S. and China demand

In the U.S., Wolfe attributed part of the volume lift to consumers accelerating purchases ahead of the expiration of a $7,500 federal EV tax credit. The firm is also optimistic about China’s deliveries, which the firm noted is trending above prior expectations. Wolfe estimated 165,000–170,000 deliveries in China for the third quarter, or about 10,000 more than its earlier forecast, as noted n a Yahoo Finance report.

The firm noted that these figures do not yet include meaningful contributions from the newly launched Model Y L. “We estimate 165-170k deliveries in Q3, or ~10k above our prior est,” Wolfe stated, though these volumes “largely do not reflect the recent launch of the Model Y L.”

Earnings outlook

Wolfe noted that it expects Tesla’s Q3 earnings per share to fall between $0.55 and $0.60, which is above the current consensus of $0.49 per share. The firm forecasts automotive gross margins, excluding regulatory credits, of about 16.5% to 17%.

Looking ahead, Wolfe warned that Q4 could prove more challenging due to U.S. demand being pulled forward by tax incentives. Still, Wolfe suggested that factors like stronger seasonal demand in China and Europe could become tailwinds that could help the company’s volumes in the fourth quarter. The ramp and rollout of the Model Y L and upcoming affordable models could also help bolster the company’s Q4 volumes.

Tesla China deliveries projected to hit 72,000 in September: Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank’s estimate represents a 27% increase from August’s figures.

Tesla’s sales momentum in China is expected to rise this month, with Deutsche Bank estimating about 72,000 vehicle deliveries for September 2025. 

Deutsche Bank’s estimate represents a 27% increase from August 2025, but is roughly flat compared to the same month last year.

Model Y L launch boosts order flow

Dealer feedback compiled by Deutsche Bank suggests that Tesla China’s new orders in September could reach around 73,000 units, which is roughly up 14% year-over-year, as noted in a CNEV Post report. The increase is attributed in no small part to the Model Y L, a six-seat long-wheelbase variant of the best-selling all-electric crossover that was launched last month. 

Deliveries for the new model began earlier this September, with current orders scheduled for deliveries in November, as per Tesla China’s official website. Analysts also noted that the Model Y L could be a key driver of interest, particularly among larger households looking for vehicles that have higher seating capacity.

Tesla China’s insurance registrations

Tesla’s insurance registrations in China reached 46,950 units in the first three weeks of September 2025, pointing to a steady pace of deliveries for the month. For context, Tesla delivered 57,152 vehicles in August 2025, as per data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). That figure represents a decrease of about 10% year-on-year, but an increase of over 40% from July 2025’s 40,617 units.

Deutsche Bank’s September projection, if proven accurate, would mark Tesla’s strongest monthly performance since the summer slowdown. China is still critical to Tesla’s overall delivery outlook heading into Q4, and the best-selling Model Y is still expected to play a central role in the company’s sales in the country.
