I used to get nauseous even thinking about electrified mobility other than golf carts but now that I have a PHEV on order (RAV4 Prime), I'm paying a little more attention.
Still too many unanswered questions for me, some political, so won't get into my opinions here, there are other forums for that.
Interesting play for GM but if/when I'm going to shop for an EV, it'll be a Toyota with their upcoming Panasonic solid state battery.

I don't think GM will dominate because Tesla did what Apple did, which is create an ecosystem of reliance. Tesla does updates. Tesla has its charger network. Tesla is far ahead of the game in technology, in Gigafactories, in brand loyalty, again like Apple.
Also, Elon Musk said it himself, 'any one manufacture only controls around 10% of the market', so he doesn't see competition as a problem because he doesn't view his product as a niche market. If everyone comes out with EVs then he doesn't see his business selling less cars, as if they would be eating into his sales and a piece of the pie from that demand. No, he thinks demand would increase that much more because the prevalence of EVs would lead to more popularity and adoption, which will only fuel his business, as more support and infrastructure is codeveloped.
