Stupid plan.

But, we are talking Government Motors here, so chances are you’re actually hearing from the Biden Admin.

And the grid to charge them will be ready by 2065.

If we are building 120 new nuclear plants in the U.S. so we will be upgrading our grid by 2035, then okay we can move toward electric cars. But Thats not what we are doing.

“For General Motors, our most significant carbon impact comes from tailpipe emissions of the vehicles that we sell – in our case, it’s 75 percent,
= = =

HOw much carbon comes from tires wearing down?

What happens when that becomes the significant contributor?

And then there is asphalt paving.

Darned whether we do or don’t.

Ford has since backed California’s recent moves to shift to only zero-emission car sales by 2035, essentially barring new gas-powered car sales by that year. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed the executive order establishing the target on the hood of a bright red Ford electric Mustang.

Great! less competition for Ford and Chevy. I predict there is a bankruptcy in GM’s future. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Word is the 2035 e-Vette Z-06 will have dual Hemi-Hamster cage wheels with 10KW generators on each one. Models come standard with 500 hamsters, and an high-end option of 1200 hamsters.

Guess I won’t be buying GM.

Me neither if they aren't focusing on them or supporting them at all, they'll be rolling out junk.

In many parts of the country, the electricity to charge the electric car is generated in evil fossil fuel generated power plants.

After Obama’s administration bailed out GM and became owners of the company, did GM ever pay off, or does the US government still have control of the company???

From gasoline powered vehicles to coal powered vehicles.

Same here. I rarely buy new cars nowadays due to the new privacy-invading black box, and now this crap. I’ve said it on FR the past 10 years and so...anything you plug to a wall with a socket is an APPLIANCE.

If I remember English grammar, the headline is saying that ONLY GM will be selling Electric Vehicles. If they mean that GM will sell ONLY Electric Vehicles, it should read

“GM will sell exclusively Electric Vehicles”

Is that correct?

GM: a pension program that makes cars on the side.

If they and others go thru with this, then expect gas stations to start replacing pumps with charging stations. Also expects some fwys to be autonomous vehicles only. What a Brave New World it will be.

People keep bringing up that annoying little factoid....

Answer: Fairy dust and unicorn farts. These apparently convert quite readily to electricity.

Or maybe we could just harness the power in a lightning bolt.

Wind power and sunshine just aren’t going to make up the deficit.

I GOT IT! Human powered vehicles, some version of a bicycle or pedal car.

I leased a new Tacoma about six weeks ago. Told the salesman it might be my last gas powered truck. He said there’s too much money in fuel it won’t happen. I wonder what he thinks now.
When I bought a shotgun in November I wondered if it would be my last gun. Can I even find the ammo. Heck of a way to think I know but it’s all coming true.
