General Motors will work with Honda to design and develop two electric vehicles using GM’s new EV platform, the automakers announced Thursday.

Details on what type of vehicles they are building were not revealed, but Honda will design the bodies and interiors and expects to start selling them in North America by 2024.

Yeah me too. The GM CEO is AGW true believer. She was probably fast tracked when Obongo took GM over. Put a deluded climate fool in charge of a car company and boom they have committed to eliminating all internal combustion engines within 9 years. Idiots.

And where will the power for these engines come from? It can't come from home outlets.

I would also imagine that when you get ‘mad’ at a situation or person you just can’t ‘slam down’ the phone to hang up, which is missed.

Like the ‘old man’ asked the kid to pass him the phone book and the kid said
“Grampa, use the Iphone”
“No, I want the phone book”
kids father,
“DAD, use the Iphone, I gave you, it does a lot more than just make phone calls”

Gramps “OK, whatever you say”
so he took the Iphone and smashed the spider.

I saw a presentation making the claim that the real problem is not just the lack of power production (in the event of everyone switching to electric) it’s also the distributed residential transformers. They wouldn’t be able to handle the loads.

...therefore, the ICE cars aren’t going disappear anytime soon.

No vroom, vroom sound here.

It’s refreshing to hear the venerable F134 run today after a few months.

The new powder coated tank and new sending unit that shines nicely for now are in.

Due to demand and an oven fire at powder coating, there was a delay.

Yes, residential transformers are built to cool down at night under less use.

They have cooperated for decades.
I had a 2004 Saturn with a Honda V6 and Honda sold cars in Europe with GM diesels.
