We have uncountable electric vehicles in current use.

These electric vehicles operate on golf courses, retirement homes and loading docks. The forklift batteries are heavy, very heavy and cumbersome. They are big because of the effort required for the forklift to move very heavy loads.

These limited use vehicles would already be expanded to autos and trucks if profitable. GM is virtue signaling to pay for the Obama bail out of the UAW when it stole my retirement GM bonds to keep the UQ AW alive

The GM CEO is signaling fear and admitting that she can’t compete with the German and Japanese and especially Korean manufacturing technology

China has the right idea.
They don’t have a lot of oil reserves.
They have coal.
They are building hundreds of coal fueled power plants to power their electric cars because they don’t want to spend any more on oil than they have to.

And all our carbon reduction efforts are like p*ssing into the wind.

[[[The GM CEO is signaling fear and admitting that she can’t compete with the German and Japanese and especially Korean manufacturing technology]]]

GM, like Ford has thrown in the towel regarding gasoline powered sedans so now they are pinning their hopes on this magical EV vehicle that is going to save their bottom line. They are now colluding with government to mandate the change in the vehicle market whether consumers want it or not. Chrysler basically doesn’t even exist anymore.
