Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

[HiHoeSilver]

Too reliable?

I know you like to tinker...

I've tinkered on Honda stuff before. I just don't like the whole rounded trapezoidal H thing.

Or the GM EV drive train, I guess.

No thanks!!!!! We use our Tahoe for cross country trips. I sure as hell am not going to be sitting for hours waiting for a battery to recharge on the side of interstates. A small engine to recharge the battery would be nice if they ever went that route. Kinda like a huge Chevy volt LOL

This is impressive, what a truck. I love the interior. The motor/drive could definitely find its way into a Tahoe/Suburban. GM says they’ll also make an SUV version of this Hummer.

Wow, Ford now has 2x as many all electrics than GM and has announced another one for next year...and people actually want to buy them. What the heck is going on with GM? First the new Tahoe keeps losing out to the dated expedition in comparison tests and now this? Yikes.

Have batteries progressed that far already? That was fast! It seemed like yesterday that they were catching fire or exploding at an alarming rate. And the expense you incur when it dies and won't fully charge anymore...it's around half the cost of a new one once you throw in the labor to swap it out. And what are they going to do with the dead batteries? I don't think they have a way to dispose of them that is enviro friendly. Just dig a pit, throw them in and cover them over? Sounds like what they do to nuclear waste. Let future generations worry about it. Fun Fact: Most delivery companies won't ship anything with modern batteries in them because of the hazard and potential of leakage or fire. And you want me to drive around with one?

I would rather have an alcohol/ethanol powered vehicle. I've seen it doesn't take much to convert a gasser to A/E. And it's renewable, not to mention much simpler and cleaner. I guess corporations can't make enough from it, so they're going for a complete system overhaul. And we're going to pay for it in more ways than one. Makes you wonder...

Energy companies buy used car batteries and use them

2035 seems a little close for a total switch to EV for GM.

Do I think there will come a day in the not very distant future, where the lion’s share of new cars/trucks/SUV’s will be EV? I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever.

Do I think the grid will keep up? Nope.

I dont think it will pass 35 percent of the market overall. No infrastructure to support them and living with one is okay but without faster charging or a battery swap program they are glorified golf carts.
