Every year all cars have changed a little bit.

Look ar the lamps back and front.

Every model has diffetent lamps.

Why?

80% of the profits of the automakers comes from spare parts.

The service and sales channels take the biggest part of our customers pockets.

My next car will be a real electric and a lot less spent on service.

Actually no, not so. Was true in the 1950's and 1960's however.

So two choices: bellyache about how unfair and wrong it is, or perhaps
do something to capitalize on it... Like, start making spare parts so
you can get some of that 80%.

And your point is? And 'our customers'? Who is 'our'?

And why do you think that will be true? Oh, wait, with all the flawed
logic you showed in your original post, I guess it goes right along with
your thinking process!
Hint: if you are going to troll, at least make it a good troll. Your try
was lame, at best!

In the next seven years, the European Union wants to build a half million charging stations. And, while EV charging stations are the most ambitious part of the plan, the eight-billion-euro "Clean Power for Transport Package" also includes standards for developing hydrogen, biofuel and other natural gas networks.
 
Germany, France, Spain and Britain have individual national plans that aim to have more than seven million electric cars on their roads by 2020.
