As I have often said, GM is the best salesman that Toyota ever had. Best of luck to them in going all electric.
As far as electric goes, the last big breakthrough in battery technology was the development of Lithium Ion technology. But, it did not come cheap. It is very expensive environmentally. Lithium mining is a huge generator of toxic waste. Lithium itself is a toxic metal. What comes next? Even more toxic materials?
Then there is the whole electric supply debacle. While coal fired generating plants are being legislated out of existence, and there is limited replacement technology coming along, we increase our demand for electricity. Does this make sense? Not to me. Wind and solar only have limited ability to fill in for decommissioned coal fired power plants.
Then, how about the cost? I certainly would not spend in excess of $100,000 for a car to bop around town in that has limited range and long down time for charging. Maybe some of you "poor" farmers that are driving Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, and Cadillacs would pay out that kind of money, but I will stick with something that is not as hard on the budget.
