General Motors to Go Fully Electric by 2035 as EVs Remain Unprofitable
Breitbart ^ | 10/22/2024 | John Binder

Posted on 10/22/2024 3:22:15 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

General Motors CEO Mary Barra is still committing to taking the automaker fully electric by 2035, even as third-quarter earnings show Electric Vehicles (EVs) are still not profitable.

“That is the plan we’re still executing,” Barra told the New York Times of GM’s plans to fully transition to EVs by 2035 regardless of who is in the White House.

Barra first made the commitment in 2021 after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office. The commitment, though, has not made EVs any more profitable.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra - more DEI I guess...

This keeps up, no more GM (Gov’t Motors).

Who’s making these harebrained decisions for massively sized industries? It couldn’t be the shareholders, who might lose part of their investment.
The exact opposite reaction is taken after being financially kicked in the a**.

I wonder if they are terrified that when Trump wins, he might declare EV batteries a safety hazard under current safety laws and get them banned in the US.

Didn’t they already commit to 2030?? They’ll be changing their tune.

Some tech will eventually be better than the internal combustion engine, but EV’s are definitely not better and nothing will ever replace them... They run forever and as long as men have tools and gas engines... They will run and they will be made by somebody.

As the old joke goes, “We lose money on every sale, but we make it up in volume.”

This is Mary Barra’s way of endorsing Kamala for President.

Exactly.

What do you expect when Obammie the Commie hands over the company to the UAW, in essence?

They can make whatever PC-subsidized moronic and uneconomic decisions they want with the full confidence that the US taxpayer will pay for their greed and stupidity.

And by that I mean the US taxpayer either pays directly or through the hidden tax called inflation.

Don’t forget how GM CEO Roger Smith climed into bed with Jimmty Carter over fuel efficenicy. He brought in the worthless Chevette from Brazil forcing AMC, Chrysler, and Ford to try to meet mileage requirements. Ruined American automibile domonance. History repeats itself.
