Yes, it's an agenda. But happening whether we know it's an agenda or not. We can sulk, point out the inconsistencies, possible corruption, waste etc., all we wan't but it isn't changing a thing.
Secrete spy photo's of a GM testing facility near Timmins Ontario revealed a back-up plan for GM if the electric car program goes bust. They still have to follow through on the ending petro fueled cars, or they will look silly.
GM is going green baby!!!!!
You saw it here on Bob's first the wooden car, that runs on wood....
And they say its got the best heating system ever tested.....

There is a charging station going in at my Safeway, it costs a lot to charge. I can drive a gas car for less and not spend my time thinking about my car. This is the big unknown imo. If it costs $30 in electric to make a trip and gas cost is $25, I will take the $25. With a plug in it is the best of both worlds I think. I know people who don‘t even want a hybrid, who had one, now but get a car that gets 45 on the road. life seems a lot simpler with it. A lady down the street did just that, had a 05 Prius, now got an Accord non hybrid.
I drove a Hybrid Fusion last fall when the Engine in my Snotta blue up, I drove 3 weeks and I think it was the best car I ever drove. My only gripe was I think it should have gone longer on battery power considering the kind of driving I did and I would have been ok with plugging it in at night for a top up. I was shocked to find out Ford stopped selling it, no one wants one I guess. The drive made such pleasant soothing sounds on battery ( by intent I don't know ). It convinced me I want an electric car that drives and sounds like that, but I am not sure I am going to get what I want.
It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose. EC has about 25,000 people and an area of 3.7 sq miles. San Francisco has 883,000 people and an area of 47 sq miles.
Even larger push in China.
That’s 3 elections plus one mid term from now. I wonder what the condo dwellers are supposed to drive. They vote too.

Condos will put in charging stations and up the HOA.

Maybe it`s time to pickup a Volt as plugin hybrid makes sense up here in the frozen boondocks.
You’ll have to change your username
They will have to pry the 77 from my frozen right foot
Maybe I better ask wifey about that new Vette before it's too late.
How brash of them to assume they'll still exist in 15 years
What I hate about this is the “all or nothing! approach. The Volt was perfect, electric with a range extender. Best of both worlds with no range anxiety.
The only things we DON'T have are the flying cars and teleportation.
Mobile phones really happened...
Such grand statements seem a bit premature for a bureaucratic company that has a long history of declining market share and has yet to make a single EV model that people are snapping up. Not to mention it’s hobbled by a dealership business model that is obsolete and shudders at the thought of selling low service cars. Could Tesla have accomplished what it did with a union labor force?
Their new platform & pipeline and fading eco-systems for the old let them communicate these decisions by now. If somehow they'd want to look back later they'd not regret; it's not like anyone else were sticking to much car ICE research and development for ever more mature fossile extinction. BYD's new hybrid engine is like 43.1% BTE vs. 42 or 41% of older non SPCCI. None will ever get much more than 50% out of these processes.
Let some wild start-ups invent and develop the hyper-efficient ICE of tomorrow plus its carbon neutral fueling strategies and pilot production et al. GM isn't that start-up, it's one of those realms amidst their major turns in transition led by management that cannot justify sticking to 0W-4 / 0W-8 only – for some regulars' tables wanting to smear and pump 5W-30 forever. How big has the fleet of GM hybrids keeping up with the BYDs and Hondas and Toyotas become so far?

Tesla will probably buy GM.
