[The HACK]

Those of you who don't think the auto industry will be blindsided by this, I give you this list.

AOL (blindsided by, well, the Internets)
Retail industry (blindsided by Amazon)
Video rental (blindsided by Netflix)
Personal computers (blindsided by Mobile computing)
Physical Data Storage (blindsided by cloud storage)
Broadcast TV (blindsided by streaming services)

List actually goes on and on. Now, most of these will survive in one form or another, or select companies in the industry will see the writing on the wall and adapt. Walmart, for example, is shifting their focus to in-store deliveries of products purchased online, and leverage their logistics to compete with Amazon's one or two day delivery. AOL bought media content, rights, and publishing houses. PC makers are now shifting gears and selling tablets, laptops, and servers. Storage device makers shifted to provide hard drives for data servers.

But most of these massive industries and corporations are but a shadow of their former selves. Technology is evolving at such a high pace that for the entire auto industry to ignore what electric propulsion can do as the future of mass and personal transportation would be for an entire industry to be left behind like RadioShack, BlockBusters, and Sears.

EV will do to the ICE what ICE did to the horse and buggy, except it will happen in a much faster pace. Mark my word.
