I told people in this thread this like a month ago and a few were at my neck talking about not in our lifetime. Lol. The ignoranceI'm sure some have heard, but for those who haven't, the first, of I'm going to assume many more, major manufacturers have put the clock on all their light duty cars and trucks ICE engines. GM will stop selling internal combustion gas and diesel engines by 2035! Even the Corvette! Not surprised and they won't be alone.
GM Says It Plans To Be All Electric By 2035
GM said today that it planned to be carbon neutral by 2040 and that it also planned for all of its light-duty vehicles to be all-electric by 2035. GM’s big electric push is only picking up speed.jalopnik.com
I'm actually okay with this. Knew it was coming. I've been driving a plug-in Fusion Energi since 2017 (I leased my current one and my previous one). Actually love how I could drive to work on a full charge (which is only up to about 28 miles as it's a plug in hybrid, not a full blown electric, so minimum E-only range but over 600 miles on a tank charged and with the hybrid system.
Once this lease is up next year, I'll decide on what I want next. If Ford were to offer a plug-in Bronco or Bronco sport, or that new Fusion Active I'd be down. But the electric future for cars is coming and it's not going to be stopped. And with technology getting better every year, battery charging will eventually be as fast as it takes getting gas/diesel.
people really need to educate themselves on how disruptive EVs are about to be and how far ahead of the game tesla is.
stepdad just ordered a Model S Plaid last night!
