Electric Vehicle Adoption -- About To Explode? Or Slow & Steady?

I wrote a version of this article below almost a year ago for another company in order to explain the EV market and its future potential. The electric vehicle market 10 years ago was basically nonexistent. Almost zero market analysts or investors were on the lookout for a promising electric vehicle startup. You couldn't find one person out of 100, probably not one out of 1,000, and maybe not even one out of 1 million, who expected an electric car to be the best selling automobile in some notable country and regional markets by 2020. Chances are good that you did not predict a Silicon Valley automaker would be outselling BMW, Mercedes, and Audi in the United States in the luxury car market.
