“GM is currently assessing potential future investment,” GM spokesperson George Svigos said in a statement, adding: “No final decision has been made. GM is committed to an all-EV future globally. On that pathway, we continue to study consumer preferences and powertrain options, to ensure we best respond to customer demand and comply with an uncertain, complex and increasingly stringent regulatory landscape for 2027 and beyond.”

That would be wise.
speaking of hybrids aren’t every toyota model other than like supra and 86 now comes with hybrid and/or electric option innit?
I love watching this shit crumble at the seams lmao
I truly believe the EV boom that began in 2020 was because of Covid. You had nowhere to go anyways so charging and driving distance wasn’t really thought of too much. Well now that everything is back to normal again commuting wise, the shortcomings of EVs are much more apparent
I love watching this shit crumble at the seams lmao
EVs are the future of cars and if you think the continued sales increases year over year aren’t a clear sign of that, just look at China’s auto-market.
China is literally the worst possible example right now. Besides the fact that China has only a luxury car market because of the cost of getting a license, sales are down and BEVs have still struggled since subsidies expired.
And once again, shouting to the heavens: We are not ready for a full transition to EV. The hybrid phase was supposed to be an intermediate measure to help reduce emissions and fuel usages WHILE we build an EV infrastructure.
Its not that “we are not ready”, its that the US companies, apart from Tesla and maybe Hyundai/Kia, are completely uncompetitive at building EVs. Tesla, H/K and BYD are not going to take their feet off the gas just because these bozo companies are struggling to build EVs.
I mean, we aren’t ready lol. I don’t live in some podunk little hole in the earth and there are only enough charging units in my area for a gaggle of township board members.
Anyone remember in the 2000s when GM had hybrid versions of full-size body-on-frame SUVs and trucks - such as the Escalade and Silverado - that were barely any more fuel efficient than their pure ICE counterparts? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
EPA or real world? Based on EPA, it looks like the Tahoe hybrid would save $600 a year over the regular Tahoe. RAV4 hybrid vs RAV4 is around $500.
Embarrassing. Having none of the right fuel-efficient cars when gas prices spiked is exactly why GM needed to be bailed out in 2008.
Now gas prices are again high. GM has no hybrids and is discontinuing both the Bolt and Malibu. It’s malpractice how badly they’ve run the business.
Why? I thought their EVs were the future? Or did they realize that their ridiculous investment in Cruise was a loser move from the get go, and now they’re trying to backtrack? lol. This is what happens when a company is run by incompetent idealists who push ESG nonsense on their employees and don’t actually focus on creating good products that work.
