Overheard one of our customers talking to my boss about Ford halting production of combustion engines by or around 2030, and GM in 2035. They're going to switch to producing ONLY electric vehicles.
This was probably inevitable that they would try to do this but it makes me really angry. Electric vehicles are practically useless in northern states during winter, and probably 100% useless in Alaska almost year-round. Only combustion/gas powered engines are able to start in sub-zero temperatures. The car manufacturers know this. They don't care. They're most likely getting pushed by global elites and climate change idiots to force this on us.
Sorry for the MSM link, but this is basically what I heard: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/13/gm-ford-are-all-in-on-evs-heres-how-dealers-feel-about-it-.html
Also it's kind of old news from 2021 but this is the first I've heard of it. Most likely they're trying to keep it on the down-low so people don't start boycotting them, etc.
I agree, but they'll force it anyway and not care if it puts strain on the grid. Look what they're doing in California as proof. Too much strain on the grid but they refuse to reduce usage.
