In fact, it's a web of alliances among automakers, utilities, insurers and nimble technology companies that may define our future mobility -- how we get around and how we pay for it -- as a set of services. Those who successfully package and sell these services could win big, as electric vehicles and the smart grid move toward the mainstream.
