Making an ICE vehicle has few points of commonality with building an EV. It is disruptive technology, it's entirely possible some or even most legacy auto manufacturers will die off, be bought out or merged. Besides Tesla, there is nothing stopping other companies with relevant knowledge from starting up their own EV divisions. It is chips, software, and batteries that are needed, not powertrains, engines and yearly model updates.
