US opens probe into 73,000 Chevrolet Volts “

This comes the day after GM started resistance to the EV mandates. The rats don’t screw around. This is what the NY Mayor found out too. Show resistance and take a few steps off the reservation and they use the power of the US Government to crush you. I wonder how the Trump haters at GM like Traitor Joe now.

If technological civilization survives, electric everything is a good bet.

Meanwhile the Democrats in the USA (and globalists in other countries) are pushing pushing it in ways that hurt everybody but the elite, instead of just letting it develop.

At the same time they are deliberately sabotaging our electric infrastructure.

How many more to get to 1.21 gigawatts?

Then we go back in time and fix this mess.

It’s worse on big trucks.

My work truck is a ‘21 Kenworth, and the DEF sensor went bad. The check engine light came on followed a second later by the red stop engine light and buzzer. I barely had enough momentum to get over onto the shoulder of the road.

Then there is all the other fed mandated crap on there that reduces power and reliability.

My company doesn’t help things by governing the truck to 64mph, the nanny cam and GPS that was brutally hack jobbed into the electrical system that now causes random no start issues.

" If technological civilization survives, electric everything is a good bet. "

No doubt, but that won't come until they can make fission reactors the size of a toaster. Until then, energy resents being confined and storage batteries suck.

The "winner" still has to pay taxes on the full value of the prize. So TPIR isn't really giving anything away, they're just selling it at a reduced cost.

Cursed from inception, I'd say.

RE: Some complaints reported there was little to no warning before the loss of operating power or reduced power mode occurred.

What if they’re driving ahead of you at 70 on the freeway?
