At a press conference, when asked by a reporter why Honda would merge with Nissan, Honda's CEO couldn't give a clear answer.  

Yeah, not a big change to convert to gas.  Personally not sure about 2.7L turbo engine being best for range extender, but that’s a small detail given how many engines GM has to choose from.  I expect a civilian heavy-duty pickup may occasionally see greater sustained loads and longer driving range than military applications.

No surprise there, we all speculated that BOC would be operating at a reduced output. 

It would probably not be difficult for GM to offer a civilian version with their 2.7L turbo gas engine.

Finally got around to updating the charts:  

Stupid headlines would be around regardless, as mentioned above lol.

Agreed

When I tried to unlock my car this morning, I discovered it was completely dead! The key fob did not unlock it. There were no numbers to dial the code to unlock the door. Nothing was working. After some research I found out how to use the key to unlock the door and that gave me the chance to check the battery in the trunk, a process that took some doing since I had to open the trunk from inside the car. Checking the battery, my battery booster told me it was fully charged. So the mystery deepens! Why is the car completely dead?? The car is a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I've never had a problem with it until now. Any thoughts or suggestions???

The i3 apparently did much better in Europe where small cars are more common.  Agree it was a little of an oddball, but I’d bet cost was the biggest issue it faced for what it offered.  The range extender was an option which made it even more expensive, and without extender the small battery capacity limited driving range for a vehicle in that price range.  I don’t think it had much chance of succeeding even if it had looked great.  The expensive technology BMW used to keep weight down, well under 3,000 pounds, did not help either.  I would consider a BEV that size if price was right provided range wasn’t way too short.  The Fiat 500e is the closest car I can think of, and it’s not that cheap and range is still too limited.  The main problem remains the same — adequate range is not affordable for many buyers and or compared to ICE or HYBRIDS.
