I get what you are saying.

Of course... not that any Joe6packs can start an EV company.

But what I'm referring is, building EV that can move actually has a closer relationship to building a Mini4WD (this was for my childhood... I learned crapload of basic electrical/mechanical knowledge modding that shit at the age of 6/7... yeah, I'm old now) vs. building a car. A regular car, even just a very basic one that can barely move, needs expertise in many many engineering fields because there are a lot of consideration that goes into an ICE car.

Thus, assuming an electronic giant build a decent platform, it's not hard for a startup to get into the game. Much like how companies like Xiaomi, or many Chinese phone startups were able to make their own phone. They took a reference design from Mediatek or Qualcomm, added their own touches... and voila. New phone!
