And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
So they finally got it working. Back in college one of my ME profs did some of the design work on the early EV Humvee. Had some advantages but still a bunch of issues back then, that was ~15-20 years ago now though.
If the range is more than 100 miles per charge, I would be impressed! As an industrial maintenance mechanic and electrician, I can assure you that the battery mass exceeds the vehicle mass!
I've avoided getting ANY electric vehicle, and for several reasons: The batteries are expensive and need to be replaced from time to time. There is no guarantee that at the end of 350 miles I can find a recharging station. If TSHTF and the grid goes down, you have a several-ton homage to the "good old days" sitting in your garage. EXPENSIVE!
I think it's is really exciting to see electric vehicles making inroads into the various light and heavy vehicle markets. This is how science, technology, and industry should work, providing options that people can vote on, with their wallets.
They won't be replacing I.C. engines by 2025 though.
They do not have a working prototype at this time. I am sure you probably read the fine print in the last scene of the commercial "Simulated vehicle shown, actual production model might vary". GM noted in a Benzinga article that “We’re building our first test vehicle as we speak; the vehicle you see in the video is our display vehicle.”
I'm shocked!! How electrifying!!

Now with optional Generac 22kw trailer for going more than 5 miles from an electric outlet.
ReplyDeleteAdvertising an electric vehicle by showing flickering street lights is a very bad idea.
