I was talking with a guy who owns a Subie dealership last spring. He's also selling Smart cars that are converted to electric, either plug-in or hybrid.
And he said almost exactly the same thing: Manufacturers realize that electric cars won't need much servicing so are reluctant to develop the vehicles. Dealers make the majority of their money from parts and service, so you take that away and there's not a lot of incentive to sell electric vehicles.
Over time, this could be a mega change for how cars are sold and serviced, and the cash cow of the dealer service department would fade away.
