Let's forget about Porsche, Nissan, BMW, and Mitsubishi for a minute and focus on GM. GM, a company that was has a culture that is so stuck in its ways that it gave up a massive foothold in American market share to import car companies like VW and Toyota. A company that worked in a joint plant with Toyota to learn manufacturing techniques from them and after a little over two decades they didn't seem to learn jack shit. The fact that GM is now coming out with a Consumer EV means it's safe to say the idea is mainstream. By the way, that joint venture plant between GM and Toyota, NUMMI? Guess who bought it. Small world.
