So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
I mean the answer to your last thing is battery technology. the lithium ion battery boom is the real driver of EV’s in general. you really gotta understand the role that Tesla played here is to surf on the wave, not create it.
- a bunch of weirdo cars came out that were based on lead acid batteries in the 70s? i think, that killed that market
- Prius proved the market existed with their Hybrid, that demand was there. they also totally dominated the market with their brand and no one else was tooled up for it.
- Batteries with the capability of pushing hybrids, ev’s boomed into mass scale in the mid-2000’s
- Tesla and many others take advantage of both of these things happening to great success.
Tesla built charging infrastructure. Nobody was willing to rely on an EV, that’s “electric vehicle”, because they didn’t trust the range or the ability to recharge.
That’s why instead of producing EVs, it produced one hybrid, which never at any moment ever asked a consumer to rely entirely on electricity for their transportation.

I agree that battery tech is what brought about full EVs. I still disagree that the Prius did.
Tesla and many others take advantage of both of these things happening to great success.
Could you please name a just couple of the “many others” that successfully implemented the new battery chemistry into their cars? Actually just one other would do. I apologize if that sounds rude it’s not my intention. I can’t think of a better way of wording this.
