It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Joe Biden's to subsidize electric vehicles and significantly accelerate the rollout of charging stations in the United States could be a boon for Tesla, according to one Wall Street analyst.Garrett Nelson of CFRA Research told Yahoo Finance on Friday that the former VP's plan could increase the market share of battery-powered cars to as much as 25% of new car sales by 2030, up from a paltry 2% currently."Tesla would be one of the biggest winners as an electric vehicle pure play, because EVs would be very heavily subsidized under a Biden administration," Nelson, who has a bullish $550 price target on shares of Tesla, told the site.As Biden has planned an aggressive increase in the number of electric-vehicle charging stations to 550,000 from current levels around 27,000. It's a trend already in play, with even oil companies and traditional automakersRead more:&nbsp;"You're looking at about a 20-fold increase in the number of EV charging stations, which would really help the electric vehicles in the adoption," Nelson said.Tax credits — both those that reduce consumer sticker price , and those sold to other automakers that help Tesla's bottom line — are another large focus of Biden's policy proposals.

"The sales, I think, will surprise to the upside."Shares of Tesla are up more than 385% this year, but have stuttered in recent months as investors await word on ability to hit lofty vehicle-delivery targets by the end of the year.NewsletterA recap of all things electric vehicles, ride-hailing, airlines, and more.
