GM to make and sell ev utv in 2023

[Jerryg]

LoL you ever take a look at what the oil industry leaves behind?

Yes.

less than 1% of vehicles on the road are electric. Just wait until you see the mess electric vehicles will leave when gas automobiles are less than 1%.

I will be dead Long before that happens.
Every New tech comes with potential to pollute in ways we never thought, Or choose to ignore......
You see, We as humans tend to be greedy and selfish to the point that we really dont give a %#&$ about the environment. And the lack of accountability and morals used in business practice almost guarantee a dismal outcome for Earth And Its Inhabitants. Gas, Coal, Electric.......It doesnt matter. The fact is that we will continue to use gas and oil at a fevered pitch until it is all gone or we are all gone. Is What It Is !

So let's make it worse, yay !!!!

I'll stick with my gas burner Pioneer, thank you.

I was under the impression Honda’s ran on rice???? Was I misled all through high school??

 

[ODAMO]

Its all in the name of corporate money, wether we like it or not.
I will continue to enjoy my Pioneer and chainsaws and leaf blowers till I’m dead, and will try and tread as lightly as I can along the way. I also have electric power tools and electric RC trucks. Electric came to dominate the RC world and its already begun towards domination in the automotive world.

What kind of cars/trucks do u drive/have
Gas, Diesel or electric?

I still have my Diesel superduty and the wife still her Lincoln Nautilus obviously gas. With the range electric has and from what i see never will, there is no way she can drive to the UofM medical center for work to make it worth her while. I certainly will not trade down my Truck for an electric type. Just dont see one being able to pull my 38’ TH in the summer long trips and my 26’ V nose snowmobile trailer in sub temps to make it worth my while. Remember I live near and still in touch with engineer friends at all big 3 development headquarters. My friends that are on some of develop teams for electric there laugh when I ask will there ever be something close to what i want it to do in electric?

 

[Jerryg]

The battery technology of today will and cannot ever replace fossil fuels. Anyone pushing the narrative is either ignorant or brainwashed.

Unless some new form of battery is brought mainstream, i.e. cold fusion or low powered nuclear, going all battery will put us back in the stone age.

Every vehicle I have is gas, same for equipment. I do have a New Yanmar L70 6.5 hp diesel lookin for a purpose. You are young enough to see the change happen and it will happen.
My Grandfather used to tell my Dad that the model A would never catch on, My Dad used to tell me that hybrids wouldn’t happen. Next Stop: Unobtanium..😲

I don't doubt fossil fuels will be replaced some day, but lithium ion batterries is not going to do it. Nor is wind or solar.

I wanna say “OK Boomer”. But I am one. Electric tech is only gonna get better. There’s two fronts that need to move forward. The production of it & the storage of it. If we don’t have a nuclear war anytime soon it will happen

My biggest concern is the safe disposal of spent devices?

Yup. We do not have a good track record of cleaning up our own mess

Other than use, those are the only jobs it has. We are a long way off right now.

Think I'm going to hold on to my Tesla stock!

 

[P1K5Dave]

The rush to electric is not a market-driven phenomena. It is the product of government control. Last I remember, if you took out all of the subsidies a Tesla would cost about a quarter milllion.
