Have you seen this?
Next week the Detroit Auto Show will be introducing us to new EVs, including (according to Bob Lutz, on the board of director for Via Motors):
- The Cadillac ELR (which, to me, looks like a big Volt)
- A new 4 wheel drive electric truck with the torque of a “monster truck” with up to 800 horsepower and 100 MPG!
- An “Escalade-class” SUV with a Volt-like drive.
Bob has become a true believer in EV, but he thinks that, unlike the Volt, these vehicles will be driven by market demand rather than incentives from the government.
Oh, GM, you should never have let (or encouraged) Bob’s retirement…
Check out the videos!
The tipping point is really here. The purchase price seems a bit high until you take into account ‘total cost of ownership’ (like I’ve been preaching about, on the Volt).
