I think this is very different from the Kodak situation. They are responding to market forces - the electric cars. The charging stations will provide a new revenue stream for them and it help them to transition.

We'll see I guess. Personally, I think it would be brave of shell to trade petrochemicals for the electric hookup market. They'd be a middle man, in a competitive market, with no "moat" protecting them. Kodak could at least have sat on their patents for a while.

I honestly do hope I'm wrong.
