Since their introduction to the broader market, electric vehicles (EVs) have made quite an impression on automobile consumers in the developed world. As new manufacturers entered the market, incumbents clamored to create a competing product to capture their share of this new growth segment. However, auto dealers started noticing something troubling as more units were sold—EVs only need a fraction of the maintenance and service of gas-burning cars. This creates a big sinkhole in dealership profits as their service departments slowed down and began eroding revenues and profits.

The lesson here is that while it’s important to respond to shifts in demand, doing so can have unforeseen consequences.
