There are currently no EV cars commerically available that have electric motors directly attached to the wheels (so that the motor is in the wheel hub).
And ZF also can make an electric motor of course.
EV's might turn out to be a hugely expansion of ZF's assets. The most innovative companies will probably benefit the most of a transition to ev's, and ZF is pretty innovative

Exactly.
And they already aquired companies focused on autonomus driving.
We will not see a disruptive change of technologies but a constant shift over the next decades. The demand will not be lesser but different. There will be still enough if not even more work to do.
