Apple is planning to sell an electric car in the 2019 time frame.
Although I am not a fan of Apple, I know that their products sell.
My first thought is that the millennials will likely be big buyers at the cost of legacy manufacturers. Think of Ford and GM as the industry equivalent of Nokia and Blackberry.
As for EM, it's a tough call. It will likely be in a different price range and a different demographic, but it still make take a chunk out of the EM market and since they have around $200 billion reserve, they can take on the dealerships and laws or simply make their own dealership network and put the rest out of business. (or simply sell them at Apple stores)
Just a few ideas. I would be interested in additional opinions.
