Electric vehicles

If chuck and his clueless crew have their way, we will all be huddling around candles for heat.

The EV scam is the 3rd biggest hoax perpetuated on the public in history, a close runner up to climate change and covid.

Fords new EV truck has a range of 85km pulling any sort of load. Wow progress, my F150 can go almost all the way to Calgary without a fill, in the winter time yet.

Jazz maybe you will meet A4 in his "scam" Tesla in Calgary.

By the way how is your bitcoin investment doing? LOL

And Trump is still President!

And when my hired man can buy a used ev for $2000 and keep it running with spare parts they have arrived.

Just happens we are trying out a hybrid Jeep Rubicon. You plug it in for 14 hours and you can drive for free for @bout 22 km. It’s kinda cool. You can sneak outta the garage without anyone or anything hearing you. It would be awasome for city slickers who just go to work and back home. We are glad to have a tank of petrol for back-up or we would never get to Saskatoon.

Are you plugging it into your neighbors outlet, and letting them pay the power bill?
Not sure how else the 14 hours of charging is free?
Or do you have a current bush to plug into?

That's the part of the whole plan that I don't think is recognized.

If the mostly run out EV only has 50km range how are the people running the 200k+ on the odometer going to get around.

Will a large part of society go back to the 50's where you never went more than 20 miles from home?

Used to be a gas station every 6 miles along the highway. Now charging stations?

Never been, but I see a little bit of Cuba in our rural future, or Mad Max.
Especially when public transit is promoted for all.

General Motors Co GM-N +1.95%increase
said Thursday the Chevrolet Equinox, one of the least expensive of its new generation of electric vehicles for North America, will go on sale in the fall of 2023 priced above the company’s $30,000 target.

The car, which shares the Equinox name with a gasoline-burning Chevrolet compact utility vehicle, is one of three new EVs GM has said it plans to launch that season for the brand in North America.

GM Chief Executive Mary Barra has focused on the Equinox as an “affordable” electric SUV with a starting price of about $30,000, less than half the starting price of Tesla Inc’s Model Y.

In a statement, Barra said the Equinox showed GM could offer electric vehicles “at nearly every price point and for every purpose.”

However, the first electric Equinox will be a limited edition 2RS model with an estimated range of 300 miles priced above $30,000, Chevrolet said. The $30,000 1LT version will be launched later.

The electric Equinox models will be assembled in Mexico.

And the negative nellies on Agrisilly said it couldn't be possible to have an EV at an affordable price! GM is about to prove them wrong again. LOL

Sounds like the Equinox EV will be a third of the cost of a loaded up pickup truck. The preferred over priced, over marketed, luxury vehicle of well off farmers and city dwellers. Whether they need one or not.
