What's my background? I'm CEO and founder of Fastned. Fastned builds charging stations. Like this. Just like a regular gas station. They're situated along the highway. And you can just exit the highway, go into the charging station, put the plug in the car, press start and 20 minutes later the car is full. What that will do is that will give electric vehicles drivers the freedom to drive wherever they like, just like a gasoline car. Why do you buy a car? You buy a car because it gives you freedom. That's why you want it. And that's what we're going to do. Basically the same as Shell or BP that puts on gasoline stations. So why do I think that this industry is headed towards this Kodak moment?

Kodak is the classical example of the photography industry being disrupted by the digital camera. And what we see here, what we see happening with the electric car is to some extent the same. We see cars becoming electric. It's becoming an electric appliance. And it follows a totally different course and experience curve than we are used to from mechanical products like the current fossil fuel car that we know. And this, this electric appliance, it just goes through a cost curve that you know from the LCD TV that you have at home, from the improvement that we've seen in digital cameras. Year on year these products get better and better and better. And that is disruptive. That's highly disruptive.
