As the world stands today, GM seems to be placing all of it's eggs into the wrong basket. As I stated earlier, I have no idea why you would shift an entire portfolio of vehicle offerings in a completely new direction when there is virtually minimal infrastructure to support them, the tech doesn't exist (or is proprietary) to get the range where people are comfortable (range anxiety), and people haven't expressed in enough numbers the desire to drive an electric vehicle. This is a huge bet that I don't think they're going to win.

My drive each day to the office is about 15 miles. My long trips are usually in old cars on car tours. I love the performance aspect of electric cars and plan on having one. No more oil changes, just plug it in at night. A brainiac friend just did a 3 year lease on a new Chevy Bolt and absolutely loves it.

^ Hear, hear Charley. Mrs. Anthony loves ours, and while I only drove it a few times, I was actually very impressed with the acceleration. Really. It scoots. I can’t imagine what one of those crazy Teslas must feel like.

A lease is a smart move. LG Chem has some major teething issues. The current list price of a Bolt EV HV battery pack is $15,734.29 and the GM part number is # 24285978. What happens when GM quits replacing these for free? More Here: https://insideevs.com/news/342671/my...ack-heres-why/ |

I had an opportunity to drive one last summer when a customer was trying one out before buying and asked if I wanted to take it for a ride. They have a "launch mode" that is quite impressive. Not sure I'd make the switch to electric personally based on my driving needs - but it really opened my eyes to the performance capabilities. |

Up to 750 hp with up to 400 mile range, 0-60 in 3 seconds and 11000lb towing. Electric works for me.

Chevrolet Performance has also been working on an 'eCrate' conversion. They built a 1962 C-10 prototype.
