Sergio Marchionne [Fiat Chysler CEO] admitted very directly... a key reason he detests the EV revolution: it takes away the core competitive advantage of automakers. They have outsourced much of the core work of building cars. What they still specialize in is building internal combustion engines (ICE) and ICE drivetrains. If the world transitions away from those, automakers no longer have much of a competitive advantage to hold their privileged places near the top of the economy.

Great post, Bruce. I might carry this further, and point out that when big companies cannot control something, they act to crush it.
Resistance to EVs is *not* futile. The automakers have already succeeded for decades!
There is no question that they have been working hard to gain control of the situation. There are plenty of examples of them buying out key competitors and shutting them down, or buying the rights to key technologies and then burying it.
