    Genesis Planning Plug-In Hybrids

      Genesis is the latest luxury automaker to announce plug-in hybrids

    Genesis is following in the footsteps of other luxury automakers by planning a number of plug-in models. Speaking with Automotive News, Hyundai Motor America' CEO Dave Zuchowski said Genesis and Hyundai are working on a number of plug-in hybrid vehicles. Zuchowski explained the brands see this a stepping stone to hydrogen vehicles.

     

    "Some of those [plug-in hybrids] will take the form of the Genesis side of our business. We believe alternative-propulsion engines are going to be really important -- even more important in the luxury market than they are in the mainstream market," said Zuchowski.

     

    Zuchowski kept quiet on Genesis vehicles will get the plug-in treatment. But considering Genesis' lineup in the near future will include will include a couple of SUVs and a small compact sedan to join the G80 midsize sedan and G90 flagship, we wouldn't be surprised if one of those SUVs and the G90 get the plug-in option.

    Who ever gets a solid Volt Like Powertrain luxury lineup will kick ass in the market place.

     

    I hope Cadillac expands faster and keeps the pressure on for the luxury lineup.

     

    I can see using the large space between the 4 wheels and having an electric motor between both wheels so you have pure EV AWD. You could then also still put a small generator in the engine bay to power everything else.

    • Windows 11 ... Ok, the laptop was upgraded from Windows 10.   There were a couple of power offs and restarts.  Once I got onto the Microsoft Installation Assistant, it went smoothly. Interfaces and dialogue boxes are a little more user friendly. Here's the deal.  I had about 45 GB free before I started the upgrade.  I understand that Windows 11 takes up about the same amount of space as 10.  I've seen posts where people complain that it has taken up a larger amount of disk space than they had before.  The answer comes back that the system drive is temporarily "borrowing" this surplus of space and we'll be giving it back over time.  Is this plausible?  Duplicate files?  How long to get the extra GBs freed up? Thanks.
    • https://insideevs.com/news/784657/china-ev-tariff-canada/   https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/what-is-in-canada-s-trade-agreement-with-china-9.7049082   “We’re building a new part of our car industry, building cars of the future in partnership, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector”       Details: Canada will tariff Chinese EVs at 6.1% instead of what it was which was 100% The first year, there is a limit of 49 000 cars to enter Canada but each year the limit will increase to 70 000 cars by the 5th year.  Prime Minister Carney said this is a deal that: "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector"    Ontario leader Dougie Ford has negatives to say about it...forgetting though that GM usa, FoMoCo usa and Chryco usa voted for tariffs and Canadian built cars. trump also said that he does nor want, americans do not need Canadian cars...   So he is kvetching for nothin' about on Carney's side and bitchin' at the wrong tree... He should realize that certain shytty americans do not want Canadian anything, let alone automobiles.   PHOQUE the usa!!! PHOQUE americans!!!  The bolded CAPITILIZED words "NEW" and "PARTNERSHIP" quoted by Carney but  assumed by me may mean that and Im speculating here, reading into something that may NOT exist, that if and when Chinese EVs are a success sales wise in Canada and the plants that produce GM, Ford and Chrysler cars in Ontario do close down for a myriad of reasons, MAYBE Chinese factories manufacturing these EV will be on Canadian soil... "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP...doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition" Takes a lot of reading between the lines...     But maybe there is nothing there also...    Anyway you slice it though, not good for the us auto industry in the long term. Especially when GM and Ford have no choice but to putz around in the us/Canada market. And since neither of them have any sort of global presence of any significance...   Well...PHOQUE THEM!!!
