Wikipedia: List of generic and genericized trademarks
The following three lists of generic and genericized trademarks are:
• marks which were originally legally protected trademarks, but have been genericized and have lost their legal status due to becoming generic terms,
• marks which have been abandoned and are now generic terms
• marks which are still legally protected as trademarks, at least in some jurisdictions
CleanTechnica: EV Skeptics Clinging to Anything to Try to Deny Obvious Tech Transition
It’s funny – this article idea came to mind just before I saw Steve Hanley’s latest piece. That article was focused on a survey of US auto dealerships showing that they are not particularly eager or excited to sell EVs. I wasn’t specifically thinking about auto dealerships, but something has been irking me for several months and a recent conversation helped me to pinpoint the issue a little better and create a story about it, and auto dealerships are definitely part of that story.
Let’s start with the core story: the auto world is transitioning to electric vehicles. That’s happening, and it will keep happening, and there’s no reason why EVs wouldn’t replace gas cars just as cars replaced horses about 100 years ago.

And it wasn’t all about Tesla. As the EV market grew, more and more competitive models came out, more and more auto brands got serious about EVs, and EV market share grew more and more. EV market share grew steadily in the US, but it exploded in Europe and China. In fact, we just got news that more than 50% of new car sales were electric cars in China in July. Europe has reached 22% share of the market.
