Momentum has been building for several years. Industry executives and analysts have been outlining the impact on the automotive industry of an all-electric light-vehicle future. Such a future still seemed distant for many. Would consumers embrace the propulsion shift to EVs? Would battery costs decline enough to achieve undeniable cost parity, or even cost advantage, compared with combustion-engine products? And could the charging infrastructure handle all these EVs in the car parc?

All are great questions with varying levels of confidence as to the eventual outcome. To EV or not to EV?
