Yippie.
things are always better when middle men are required... to charge the batteries, to establish recharging stations, to replace the rare earth metals for the batteries...
yeah, i see a lasting market for these EVs.
LOL. The Chinese are selling Model S equivalents for $25-30k as we speak.
How are their recalls doing with the Volt?
Nope
I’ll stick with my 2014 gas-powered Silverado. Will get me to Houston and back without refueling.
The crazy Obama plant opens her mouth and spews out nonsense again
GM is not first on anything
Not first on EV’s
Not first on ICE(Internal Combustion Engine).
Not first on anything.
Mary Barra never mentioned how far that truck can travel from Detroit to northern Michigan towing a trailer with two snowmobiles in the winter and how long it will take to recharge.
Truly amazing how they’re shoving this down our throats.
All being done with parlor tricks, involuntary incentives from taxpayers, and about 99% of the owners, hypocritically still reliant on fossil fuels to charge the batteries.
I don’t know about this truck, but Freepers should learn and understand about EVs a lot better. Many of the reactions I see are very knee-jerk and based on true-back-in the-day information and anti-EV theories that just did not pan out. GM is the worst EV maker so far with the Volt fiasco, but they are fixing all of them and the battery supplier is helping them pay for it. This Silverado truck might mark a turnaround for them, we’ll see. I think GM is actually better than Ford at electronics and software, but I like FORD build quality and design. EV’s like the VOLT and Prius were made ugly, weird looking on purpose, so their sales would be centered on those wanting to make a “sacrifice” to save the earth. “I care so much, I’ll drive this ugly car.” and it would not detract from Corolla or Camry sales.
Now things have changed with Tesla and F-150 Lightning looking like normal or even beautiful cars…except with drag strip performance. For running around town, an EV is the best car there is. Maybe on long trips and in the cold north, it’s another matter, but still many who are not in a hurry, will enjoy the drive while plotting and planning the best charger routes. I don’t take many long trips, don’t own anything to tow, and really not in much of a hurry these days.
I hopefully will be placing an order in a couple of weeks for an F-150 Lightning, that I might be trading in for a Cybertruck in 3 years. Lightning batteries are from a supplier who has NEVER had a battery fire, the batteries are also fully serviceable, by module, and replaceable. I’ll keep my Transit van for long trips and any light towing. So please don’t coal-roll me when you see me. You’ll know me by my Trump-DeSantis 2024 sticker.
Electric vehicles are simply a means to limit people’s ability to travel autonomously.
Keep people confined to an area and make them dependent on either big business, or Government options to travel beyond that specific area.
Has she been treated for delusion yet??
Thank you Fed subsidies to produce cars nobody wants.
CEO happy speak. Based on the Volt and the Bolt, GM has a very long way to go to catch up to the electric vehicles game. As electric trucks go, it appears Ford is in the lead, though I don’t know they have produced anything more than media test vehicles. So far the Electric Silverado is just vaporware, and based the Bolt, something to be avoided until the batteries are proven safe.
Sorry GM sells junk. With the exception of the Corvette perhaps.
I left GM for Toyota years ago. And I ain’t going back to GM, unless I somehow lose, my mind and develop a penchant to buy low quality, low reliability junk.
GM is “first” in EV technologies.
It can drive itself to a GM garage when parts start to fail take out loan light appears.
