Talk is cheap 8 13 Rate This Comment MAY 19, 2020 AT 11:19 PM REPLY Bolt GM is making there EVs pro!table before selling them. When they launch there EVs they will be competitive but there is no reason to loose money on more EVs than to meet regulations when they could use that money to develop better cars. 0 0 Rate This Comment MAY 20, 2020 AT 8:42 AM REPLY Momolos Great to hear GM is not that far behind. In my opinion once every vehicle has Million Mile Batteries that can utilize V2G (Vehicle to Grid) it is Basically Game over for ICE vehicles, Coal, and Peaker Plants. If you think about it, an EV vehicle is basically a Rolling Battery Backup Server. It can feed energy back to the Grid whenever throughout the Day and you won’t have to worry about Battery Degradation. This will be a complete Game Changer for our Energy needs. If this becomes a reality, it will literally make Zero sense for an auto Maker to keep producing ICE Vehicles but even more importantly, it will make zero sense for the most part if Customers forego EV’s for ICE Vehicles. I can only imagine the endless possibilities of every vehicle in the World having Million Mile Batteries and V2G Software. Throw in Autonomy and EV vehicles will make the owner money. Might even be enough per month from selling Energy back to the Grid and from Autonomy Rides that the car might be paid for per month. It is Crazy just thinking about it. Tesla is most likely in the lead for all of this but I am soooooo Happy to hear that GM isn’t that far behind. And if GM is close that would mean that most likely The VW group isn’t that far behind either. Now I still believe that unless the Infrastructure around the World doesn’t keep Growing, EV’s are not for everyone just yet. Much more work needs to be done to make EV’s for the masses. No matter how quickly EV’s take o# around the World I think there will still be Niche ICE vehicles. I cannot see Vette, Lambo, and say Ferrari be Full Blown EV vehicles. They will still o#er Niche ICE options but will most likely be very pricey to help o#set the Penalties those Companies will have to pony up in !nes. That’s my opinion at least 4 5 Rate This Comment MAY 20, 2020 AT 6:50 AM REPLY Timothy Rudzinski, Sr. One situation I wonder about are the classic automobile hobbyists. At some point, gasoline will be di$cult to obtain. Big changes will occur in many industries like parts, fuel sources, etc. I realize that change came at the dawn of the automobile industry, too. It’ll be interesting to watch! 0 1 Rate This Comment MAY 20, 2020 AT 8:10 AM REPLY Craig Contofalsky This is for all EV mfgs. You need to build vehicles that last longer than then the batteries do!! What good is a million mile or 100,000 mile battery when the rest of the vehicle wears out after 36,000 miles!! I currently own a GMC 2500 Savana van with 35,000 miles and the AC just failed!! Start !xing the other problems before wasting your money on batteries that outlive the cars and trucks!! 0 2 Rate This Comment MAY 20, 2020 AT 8:18 AM REPLY LEAVE A REPLY Comment Name * Email * Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
