Is it really not happening? AFAIK the EV revolution is happening underneath their noses and German car manufacturers are letting Tesla and Chinese/Asian companies eat their lunch and their move is to sleep on it to not anger their ICE-focused Labour unions. Not a good strategy long term.
Kodak also shelved their digital camera Invention in the '70s to not disrupt their film business, and guess what, the digital camera revolution happened without them anyway so they missed out on it costing them the company.
- hef19898 5y agoI would have agreed two years ago. Today, not so much. VW is throwing a lot weight behind EVs, as is BMW finally. VW does have some serious internal conflicts between management and union reps, I could imagine some of that is driven by the drive to EVs.
