It was inevitable.
Had to happen sooner rather then later. The all electric Corvette.
https://www.hemmings.com/stories/che...5-ev-corvette/ I know this is nit picky, but who is educating automotive writers these days? Article says: "The first all-electric powered Corvette joining the competition could mean the dawn of a new era: the electric supercar." Guess they have not heard of the CURRENT already existing electric supercars. Second nit pick; used the "accumulative" when they should have used the word "cumulative". Reminds me of the morons that keep saying "irregardless" when they mean "regardless". Sorry for the side rant.

You know, I'm finding that a lot now too... and I fear many of the articles we find are written by bots, or ChatGPT, or AI or whatever... gah.

The worst screw up I have seen in the last few years is repeated over and over on the net.
There are morons that think a "180 degree" crank V8 only fires once every 180 degrees of engine rotation, and that a "90 degree" crank fires every 90 degrees of engine rotation. They don't understand that the different cranks don't affect how OFTEN it fires, just the firing order.

I thought a 180 degree crank meant someone put it in backwards

720deg of crankshaft rotation/8 cylinders = a combustion event at every 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation.

You would think an "automotive journalist" would get that.

Another silly excerpt from that editorial...
"As much as it may be painful to admit, electric-powered vehicles tend to perform better than the gas gobblers, especially when it comes to instant torque with a blip of the gas pedal." Really ? She's writing about an ELECTRIC car and uses the word GAS pedal ?? Um,maybe use Throttle pedal ??
