Not really, in the US excluding a few trucks we basically only have full hybrids and other than Honda they’re basically all using the same Toyota/Paice technology.

Embarrassing. Having none of the right fuel-efficient cars when gas prices spiked is exactly why GM needed to be bailed out in 2008.

Now gas prices are again high. GM has no hybrids and is discontinuing both the Bolt and Malibu. It’s malpractice how badly they’ve run the business.

China is literally the worst possible example right now. Besides the fact that China has only a luxury car market because of the cost of getting a license, sales are down and BEVs have still struggled since subsidies expired.

The Bolt lost GM almost 10k on every unit sold when they discontinued it. I don’t know how it balanced out for GM in terms of their ability to meet CARB regulations, but in itself it was not a viable product.

Shh, Elon fans don’t understand the time-value of money.

These articles are mostly directed at financial professionals, not car buyers.

… I’m not seeing a kill switch in the bill? It says “limit vehicle operation”.

The technology already exists to limit vehicle speed. This is probably what would happen, the car would limit you to 65 MPH.

I could see the vehicle not starting, but there’s no way vehicles will shut down while driving, that’s obviously dangerous.

It’s LG’s statement, not FT’s:

LG is laying off works and reducing capacity for to “automakers realigning the speed of the EV transition.”

There is this great self-driving technology I thought of. You put these metal guides on the ground and then chain several cars together for high traffic routes, very safe and the infrastructure cost per additional passenger is extremely low. It’s mysterious that nobody has thought of using this technology before anywhere in the world
