Stop listening to Greenpeace.

Bullshit. GM is set up for the manufacture of carbon burners. Pretty much their entire infrastructure and business model is based on it. Where is their imperative to dump these existing assets all geared to the production of oil-fuelled cars?

A goodly amount of the profits from these fossil fumers lie in the dealer stream re maintanance & repair. By contrast an EV does not require its engine to be regularly serviced. Most have no transmission or clutch. No need for filters, flushes, belts, hoses, injectors etc. In many parts of the world (eg where I live) it is possible for your home to not just be energy neutral but even earn credit through feeding back into the main electrical grid from excess solar power derived from your rooftop. Or perhaps use those excess credits to recharge your EV overnight and commute to work or wherever .. for no fuel cost at all

As for vehicle range ..

“According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Americans drive an average of 29 miles and spend some 55 minutes a day in their vehicles.”
