Legacy automakers like Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford, and Nissan are urged to prioritize investing in electrification and focus on building competitive battery-electric vehicles or partnering for necessary technology to remain competitive in the market. The article suggests reducing spending on traditional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in favor of series hybrids/extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) as a better bridge technology. Companies that heavily invest in traditional powertrains may face overcapacity and declining business, while those that concentrate on strong battery-electric vehicles and well-executed series hybrids are more likely to succeed in the evolving auto industry. China's success with EREVs and the availability of purpose-built solutions like the C15 range-extender module offer opportunities for Western companies to adopt more efficient driving experiences with longer electric range.
