I’ll never in my life buy a vehicle from Obozo’s Government Motors. I do mean never.

It seems Chevy dealers are ready to roll.

Yeah, but, are the customers ready to roll?

"We want to beat Tesla on EVs. We want to meet demand."

It shouldn't be hard to beat Tesla since, the EV market is still very small in comparison to the total vehicle market.

Meeting the demand is a different story, and the demand will have to be created by the automakers and the dealers. Car makers and dealers are betting on the old saying of "if we build it, they will come".

The co-conspirator in the EV market creation idea, is the U.S. government, which is trying to kill the oil industry, thereby killing the ICE vehicle market, while hoping that people will be stuck buying electric vehicles only. That's not the way of the free-market system.

The law of supply and demand is not exactly applicable in the EV market.

Chevy is really on fire now…

Are EVs the “New Coke” of the 21st century?
Stay tuned.

Actually, I think they want you to not be able to buy any cars.

US energy production would fight inflation. They WANT the inflation they have created to kill the American economy.

Not before it burns down your house…

Tesla has a much more powerful brand in the EV market.

I have nothing against Tesla, but, like any other market leader, they can be overcome with equal or better products at lower prices and great service. It's happened in every industry in the past, where the market leadership has been overcome or been made irrelevant.

I’m not against EV’s, but I keep thinking that there’s going to be some unintended consequences as the manufacturers make the switch from gas engines. Market acceptance is going to have a ceiling, though we don’t really know what that is yet. Tesla is still very much a niche item, so it’s growth is much more organic than the plans GM and Ford are pushing.

[SmokingJoe]

There is a long list of reasons GM will never beat Tesla at anything, one of them being the UAW.
Plus Tesla doesn’t spend even a penny on advertising.

Of coarse it’s magic. All you have to do is plug into the wall and it’s there, just like food comes from grocery stores and meat comes prepackaged in cellophane. DUH!

[butlerweave]

You know governments will have a kill switch for EVs

[EQAndyBuzz]

Still not telling us how they plan to power the charging stations. Where will the electricity come from?

[Red Badger]

But of course!.

That’s a given!....................

And a MICROPHONE as well.................

Their plan is to make gas as painful as possible to buy and push people to battery operated cars.

You can tell xiden's puppets thought this one through. Jack up the prices, not just of fuel, but of everything - food, clothing, electricity, medicine, housing - so that people have little or no money for left over for anything. This way they'll plunk down money on a new EV. Oops!

Well, not really if you understand that Deep State's goal is to keep you from driving.

How many cars on the road today? How much gas do they consume?

Now switch them all to electric. How much electricity will they need to draw form the grid to charge them to replace the gas consumed above?

And the grid will still need to power everything else that it’s powering today. Gonna need to supersize that grid.

“Honey, did you charge the Chevy?”

“No, it is still in the garage, and we don’t have space to park a save distance 10 feet from the house per the insurance company.”

“Well, you better get out there and charge it, because they may have to shut the grid down tonight, and we may need the car to run the house.”

“Then how will we get to work?”

“Bus”
