V8 Ev’s? Sounds like an oxymoron.

What in the world???

Total investment: $918 million
“support future EV strategies”: $8 million
“battery pack cooling lines for EV production”: $56 million

That’s $66 million out of $918 million for electric propulsion. That’s only 7%.

Did Toyota buy GM? This sounds like the Toyota CEO talking.

Did I miss something here?

General Dynamics should work with GM to make an EAbrams tank!

We could send them to Ukraine for real world testing.

Due to fleet sales.

Quid pro quo...?

GM once had the most reliable Gas V8’s. And V6’s too. Many of them based somehow on the original 350. As soon as they started improving them then reliability went to crap. Plastic everywhere.

You know what the EV buyer said, don’t you?

“I could’ve had a V-8.”

V-8s for our overlords and EVs for their servitors?

(No travel to speak of for the masses.)

Can the alternator count as the EV part?

I hope they make more of the LT4 V8 engines like the one in my 2023 Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing.

GM 6.2 Liter Supercharged Small Block V8 LT4 Engine

The LT4 is a gasoline internal combustion engine produced by General Motors for use in ultra-high-performance vehicles. Part of GM’s 5th-generation Small Block engine family, the engine displaces 6.2 liters, has eight cylinders in a “V” layout, and features a purpose-built supercharger.

The engine originally debuted in the Corvette C7 Z06 before going on to power the third-generation, 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V as well as the sixth-gen Camaro ZL1, followed by the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and Cadillac Escalade-V. Mine is a hand built engine with a tag that has the signature of the person who built the engine. Specs: 668 hp, 659 lb-ft torque. It has a battery and an alternator so I call it a hybrid :)
