GM to sell only 0 emission cars by 2035

[JimH52]

All these plans for this and no one mentioned what they are going to do about the YUGE lack of electric vehicle infrastructure.

They plan on building it.

They better start. Closest EV charging port to me is an hour away. And the closest one to that is about an hour and a half away.

It's worse than just the limited number of charging stations. The ones that DO exist may be capable of charging at 90 to 120 amps, but since they so often get installed with government grants, they are typically have very limited service from the breaker. This means you can hang out waiting for a charge that could be charging 3 or 4 times faster. When the government builds infrastructure for EVs, it is like having the government help small businesses with free floppy disk drives. The government is building an obsolete charging infrastructure, so it will have to be built again the right way in the coming years. The government won't even realize that we need the new infrastructure for many years.

You will be amazed at what can happen when energy companies see profit in it. Instead of drilling multi-million dollar holes in the ground, they will be running lines to charging stations all around the country.

The use of the word: "emissions" in the OP header is false and misleading. Threat should be terminated. Just like auto industry jobs.

The article used the word "emissions"....Sherlock....

Fossil Fuel is on the way out. It will follow the way of coal.

Lefty loon Democrat's wet dream is to have us all on horse back and transport our goods by covered wagon. ...

Sunni Man...are you disagreeing with my post, which is based on a statement from GM or you disagreeing because it is based on fact and not some made up crazy ars lie that FOX news fabricated?

Sunni Man, you sound and look miserable. Have a nice day!

The days of the internal combustion engine are numbered.

General Motors said Thursday that it would phase out petroleum-powered cars and trucks and sell only vehicles that have zero tailpipe emissions by 2035, a seismic shift by one of the world’s largest automakers that makes billions of dollars today from gas-guzzling pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles.

The announcement is likely to put pressure on automakers around the world to make similar commitments. It could also embolden President Biden and other elected officials to push for even more aggressive policies to fight climate change. Leaders could point to G.M.’s decision as evidence that even big businesses have decided that it is time for the world to begin to transition away from fossil fuels that have powered the global economy for more than a century.

The move, one of the most ambitious in the auto industry, is a piece of a broader plan by the company to become carbon neutral by 2040.

Very good news. I already drive a hybrid and will change to an all electric vehicle soon.

One of the solutions to climate change will come from the free market. Market forces are speaking. Fossil fuels are on the way out.

The end of the internal combustion engine is nigh.

It will be interesting to see. I will be 76 when it happens. If I make it that far. Not to be a wet blanket, But I wonder how much manufacturing those batteries and having them used will affect the environment.

Eventually we'll drive like the Flintstones at this rate.................Yabba Dabba Doooooooo.

By 2035?...yeah sure they will...the climate alarmist and their dependent greedy filthy corporations are always so willing to predict and pontificate about things 20 years from now....after most of us listening will be dead...and you suckers fall for it every time....

 

[Rambunctious]

Just like that island that Gore and the media said would be under water by 2020....the fucking island has grown...LMFAO....

Combustion engines won't be phased out in our lifetimes.

In the mean time...

“The company will also continue to increase fuel efficiency of its traditional internal combustion vehicles in accordance with regional fuel economy and greenhouse gas regulations,” GM said. “Some of these initiatives include fuel economy improvement technologies, such as Stop/Start, aerodynamic efficiency enhancements, downsized boosted engines, more efficient transmissions and other vehicle improvements, including mass reduction and lower rolling resistance tires.”

EV's are not clean and never will be....

Where will we get the power to make all this electricity...Hoover Dam...lol

We have a grid so inadequate.

Where will the massive increase in electricity come from???????????......Wind

Think things through my God.

These village idiots don't realize our grid is a titter tatherd fucking mess. It will take yrs to upgrade it. How God damned dumb these people are.

Anyway. The Corvette E-Ray prototype has been spotted out in the wild. We've seen photos caught of that one on the Corvette forum I'm on.

Previously - September 1st, 2020, General Motors is transferring all members of the Corvette engineering team to their autonomous and electric vehicles programs. And from what our insiders told us directly, the Corvette team is “not happy.”

Looks like they're doing away with the Corvette Grand Sport and replacing that sub model with the E-Ray.

If I were to decide to buy an electric, which I won't, but if I did, it'd be a vette, I'll be darned if I'd drive some Hyundai looking hipster hoopty just to placate some nerds.

I doubt very much that I wll buy an electric car in my lifetime, though.

I'll end up buying another vette in the next few years, but it won't be electric. Huh uh.

Our grid can't take all these EVs.

Buy copper.

Nickel's where it's at. I said that years ago. Ha.

Forget the combustion chamber, you haven't yet left the echo chamber. How is power generated for you electric toy-mobile?

Electric vehicles don't eliminate pollution; they just relocate it.

Oh really? It sounds like General Motors must have been a big contributor the the Communist in Chief's campaign. They did the same thing for Obama, back in the day, that's why they got a big bailout in return for supporting him.

My wife happened to be a Democrat back then, and it was her idea to buy one of those Obama-era UAW/GM bailout cars. We bought a brand new Chevy Sonic, during the UAW/GM bailout period. It was a total piece of crap: The thing had to go back to the dealer every couple months for something or another.

It finally crapped out at 120,000 miles, what a piece of shit that thing was. The engine developed a knock in one of the valves and the fucking knock sensor kept retarding the ignition. The fucking thing wouldn't even climb a hill for shit.

We traded the POS off for a new Japanese Nissan.

PS: Fuck Obama, Fuck Joe Biden, and Fuck GM. They can all choke on the same bag of rotten dicks.

I like the new Tesla Truck but its basically a toy...a very expensive toy....
