Brilliant idea !

It won’t “belch” diesel exhaust though.

It will have to be EPA 2010 compliant with 10 grand of add on emissions equipment.

So, more expensive but well worth it for the taxpayers, LOL

IMHO, there’s going to be hell to pay when these things start getting into accidents and first responders have to start dealing with the high voltage as well as the environmental issues that result.

I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of technical ignoramuses as appear on automotive threads.

Well, you're first in on this one, and haven't done anything to dispell that impression, lol.

Oh, please. You probably drive a know-it-all vehicle like a VW, Saab, or worse, a Subaru. Green pretenders. Go make some noise about global warning.

At least you’re intelligent enough to find a posting history, so it’s a start.

Please, continue. FR sorely needs more brilliant commentary such as yours on our automotive threads.

FrankR, FrankR, FrankR...I detect a note of sarcasm in your post.

Obviously you have some doubts regarding GM's veracity.

If such is the case, then I have but 3 words for you.

You Da MAN!

My father lost his job with GM...as they got taken over by the Feds.
He was non-union....he worked in the GM Tech Center.

What's left of GM is going to He#! in a hand basket.

Mr. Lucky: Frankly, your attitude is shocking. ;)

SunkenCiv: Depends, my attitude alternates, and sometimes I’m less direct. :) :)

This is positively revolting, but, I have no clever reply for you two. At this late hour, I’m simply drained.

In this electric car context, it would become the ballot of easy rider.

Negative, SunkenCiv. I'm overloaded.

Have a great day!
