As automakers shift from horsepower to kilowatts to comply with stricter environmental regulations,

I would expect far fewer EV startups compared to tech startups. Building cars is EXPENSIVE and requires a TON of capital.

Cadillac on Wednesday told its 880 U.S. dealers that they will need to invest at least $200,000 each on electric vehicle chargers, tooling and training...
