People don’t buy ‘used’ electrical vehicles... They simply become trash.
I call BS
You mean Government powers to tax the hell out of gasoline and ICE cars.
I was looking at Ford's F-150 Lightning, but they're now expecting $75K for the 300 mile version. Nope. That's too much. I'll keep buying an old used pickup truck every 5 years or so until that price comes way down.
“...right up to the time when they themselves can no longer afford personal transportation.”
Every Socialist Democrat I know in Real Life rides the bus...just to feel Morally Superior to the rest of us...while polluting MORE than a few cars would, and ALWAYS being late for work. IF they work. ;)
Oh. Studebaker 2.0, huh?
“never consider ever [buying] a Chrysler”
I don’t why not....this should give you some motivation to run right out and get one. /s/

Nope, won’t happen. It’ll be a demand move rather than a supply side.
And his company Tesla... Hasn’t made a dime.
Can you spot the Joe Biden effect on lithium prices?

It made a Tesla much more expensive by thousands of dollars.
I used to run one ton dodge vans and always got 350k plus out of them. I didn’t do more than regular maintenance with oil changes every 5000 mi. When they killed the LA small block and replaced it with the timing disaster 4.7 That was the end of Chrysler
Bet you a dollar it won’t be. Especially once they see that outside of the Early Adopters, people aren’t buying them.
Charging to 100% on a regular basis significantly reduces the life of the battery and running down close to zero does too.
Take any advertised range and figure a maximum of 80% of that, and that assumes you aren’t using heat or AC.

They aren’t serious.
1. They trying to score greenie points
2. They are going after government subsidies
This will be like CAFE (fuel efficiency) standards for automakers. They’ll find a way to officially meet the goal while at the same time ignoring it.
Nobody believes they can convert their entire lineup to electric cars in just 6 years.
Besides, it would be corporate suicide, if for no other reason there won’t be enough charging stations.
Very good point. The 4.7 is an all-around-disaster engine.
It’s not moving fast, but ICE has been stagnant for 50+ years. Betting against the EV market force now is a lot like going for vacuum tubes in the 60s. It’s the dead end.
Lee Iacocca, who helped developed the Mustang for Ford, joined Chrysler and at least paid back that bail out to the Government about 7 years ahead of schedule.
GM on the other hand repaid the loan portion of the bailout ahead of schedule, with interest. It used TARP money ($49.5B) it had already received but hadn’t spent. Taxpayers are still stuck with GM stock that isn’t worth what was paid for it.
Not a fan of either brand now...
Still, it set the horrible precedent of government trying to determine the winners and losers in the market, so the expectation was set.
Nearly all states produce more electricity than they use.
Washington state sells 25% of it electrical power to Canada every year for instance
177 new natural gas powered plants are currently being built. 2 are under construction where I live
