its not only going to hit the dealer network its going to hit the production side as well. the battery and motors for EVs are much easier to automate production of and in the end are less complex on the side of motor and transmission that those types of plants will go away. Yeah dealers will take a hit but all that unionized manufacturing force will take a severe one as well.
dealers are going to have transform somewhat but after seeing the issues with Tesla its not like we don't have a place for dealers (I love my TM3 but damn if some people aren't trapped in repair hell).
With EV and the eventuality of self driving cars they could become depots for rentals and such. plus once EVs hit the roads in numbers there is always something to fix, service, or repair.
finally. working for a parts supplier I a wondering where my company will be in forty years
