Yeah I think it might be easier for the traditional car companies to slide into making electrics than people think.

I could easily imagine the traditional car companies making the exact same successful models as now, but with the electric engine being a checkbox option.

The 2017 Electric Volkswagen Golf is apparently quite good.

They make them--besides the Golf, there are pure electric versions of the Ford Focus, Audi A3, Kia Soul, BMW 3-series, Fiat 500, and Smart, and some of those have been around for years. People seem to prefer electrics (and hybrids for that matter) that are unique--or maybe, dedicated electric platforms make for better electric cars than do ICE cars with a drivetrain swap.
