High fuel prices, aggressive tax incentives, and a heightened awareness of the real-world impacts of global warming are pushing many to think (and think twice) about Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) – vehicles powered only by rechargeable batteries. Entries in the "cons" column have become less persuasive. But that's not to say that BEVs have overcome their perceived shortcomings. Now a new generation of 'not to' reasons has emerged.

Companies traditionally think about the future by only considering business and market elements. As a result, they often overlook culture, leading to missed opportunities, lack of relevancy, and low levels of consumer engagement. To stay ahead of the game, companies must be aware of the cultural zeitgeist and, most importantly, how Millennials and Gen Z are the drivers of cultural and consumer trends.
