After investing billions to adhere to President Joe Biden’s green
energy agenda, General Motors (GM) is backtracking on all fronts when
it comes to Electric Vehicles (EVs).

As GM was the last of the Big Three to strike a tentative agreement
with the United Auto Workers (UAW), the automaker’s green energy
dreams — championed by the Biden administration — have come crumbling
down.

GM CEO Mary Barra, a close ally of Biden’s, has said the automaker
will not begin to attempt to produce 400,000 EVs from 2022 through
mid-2024 as initially planned. GM is also delaying retooling its plant
in Orion Township, Michigan, to build EV pickup trucks.

Days ago, GM had to begin offering owners of its Chevy Bolt about
$1,400 to install a diagnostic program to determine if the vehicle’s
EV battery is defective. The move came after GM had to recall all of
its Chevy Bolts due to the EV battery issues and a class action
settlement over the battery problems is anticipated in the near
future.

In addition, GM executives are having to delay launching a number of
their EV models such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV, the Chevrolet
Silverado EV RST, and the GMC Sierra EV Denali.

Those launch delays have coincided with GM and Honda ending their
billion-dollar joint venture to produce affordable EVs for Americans
as well as markets in South America and China.

The end of that joint venture comes as demand for EVs among Americans
has plummeted with the all-electric cars staying on dealership lots
for an average of 65 days — way up from last year’s average of about
21 days.

“The American public is not ready for the broad adoption of electric
vehicles. There are maybe 10 percent to 12 percent of people who
really want an electric vehicle … the remainder still want internal
combustion,” former GM executive Bob Lutz said this week

Unlike the completely brainless idiots in the Democrat party, exactly how much sense does it take to realize that replacing 80 lbs of gasoline with 1100 lbs of batteries that are a fire hazard that cannot be extinguished, isn't a particularly good idea. But at least we can know what happens when Krygowski suddenly ceases to post.

Ford is said to lose over $60K on every electric vehicle it sells. You can expect more retrenchment of Biden and the Greenies' overwrought EV plan. In the UK the prime minister has already put the target date for the phasing out of hybrid vehicles back five years, and given notice it might have to be put back another stretch. Worldwide there is only one EV maker making a profit, and that's Elon Musk, who isn't invited to the White House with the less competent American EV makers. It is significant that Musk was born and raised in South Africa...
