Misinformation FTL...

he had worked on GM’s EV1, an all-electric technological masterpiece that had done so poorly commercially that GM wound up crushing the cars

Anyway, they talk a lot about the gamble that GM is taking. As a GM fan, I worry that it could screw them; but you have to gamble big to win big.

It's too long-winded for me to get past the first page right now. Maybe later I'll have more time...

What's odd is how Chevrolet is not releasing a EV pickup this time around. Consumers would have another model to choose from. Down here in Louisiana a lot of people drive trucks to haul equipment around.

Here are some internet links on their EV truck which is averaging $16,000 - 21,000 on Ebay today!

Genius idea but I don't trust them to pull it off. I'll wait until they come out with it and then the Japanese come up with something even better.
