mackinaw Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 That was a very interesting read. Sounds like batteries are very difficult to manufacture, especially in volume. And GM kind of shot themselves in the foot by not hiring new engineers who understand this new technology. I see GM just hired a Tesla battery engineer to right the ship. He's got his work cut out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) But but but…. Ultium was going to rule the automotive world and we’ll have 100% BEVs in 5 years and autonomous cars and mfrs who don’t go 100% Bev will be out of business…… Edited February 23 by akirby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place is a whole lot less interesting without him. He was a counterpoint to the half dozen or so anti-EV zealots. Without the handful of actual insiders, this forum wouldn't be worth visiting.

He was just as bad as the anti-EV zealots you mention although there are only a couple of those. The rest of us are just realists and it turns out we were right all along about EV adoption taking longer and reaching a plateau and about autonomous cars not being viable. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRG That’s fair but there is a difference between educated opinions that have some common sense, facts and history behind them If your opinion is people want to buy station wagons with manual transmissions, history and common sense says you’re wrong.
