Cool review of GM focus for this current Decade. General Motors to Outline Plans for Decade of Growth, Doubling of Annual Revenues by 2030 with Increased Margins (gm.com) Today also had an additional tease of the Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck. We will get to see this truck at the January CES 2022. Truck will have a fixed-glass roof for retail models.

I would totally agree that it would be interesting to know what standard seat position is used to measure the front and back leg room.

Work has me crazy busy, so no time to write up any thing, but did see these Hummer EV First Drive: 1,000 HP Of Unbridled Power And Crab-Walking Fun (insideevs.com) Looks cool, will have to watch the full video later. Almost 32 minutes long. The Genesis GV60 luxury electric SUV in RWD and AWD was released in Korea and comes standard with wireless charging. Genesis Media Center : GENESIS PREMIERES THE GV60, A LUXURY EV THAT CONNECTS A VEHICLE TO A DRIVER Looks good!

True, Mach-e is faster and better!

@oldshurst442 @balthazar I still have my 1994 GMC SLE Suburban that I want to put an E-Crate AWD system into. The Escalade would also be another good one. Wife likes both Hummer by GMC and Rivian. I owe her a truck, so she is looking at both trucks. Who knows what she will end up with. For me, I know one of my full size SUVs will get converted and I will end up driving it. I like the idea of having a proper full size FRUNK that both the GMC and Caddy can offer me in a conversion.

Comparing would it not be better to do the Trax CUV to the Bolt CUV since they are within inches of each other for length, height and width?

My thoughts on Portugal, port wine and wine in General!

This will appeal to manual fans, the only Manual Hellcat!

Interesting that rather than focus on building better products and delivering to the market products customers want they have resorted to suing and here we have Tesla expanding their lawsuit to now cover battery packs that Rivian is supposedly stealing for use in their own auto. Tesla claims Rivian is stealing ‘trade secrets’ about its ‘next-gen battery’ in expanding lawsuit (electrek.co) Original lawsuit was very vague that Tesla filed in 2020 about two employees that went to work for Rivian. Head of recruitment and head of their SuperCharger division. Rivian has since announced they will build out their own charging network around the world starting with North America first. Now Tesla has added 5 more people to the lawsuit that is filled in California and specifically stated that these individuals took trade secretes about their next-gen batteries that are coming. Honestly, Maybe Musk should be focused on Tesla rather than trying to move to Mars and set himself up as it's ruler.

Cool news, probably sad for fans depending on which side of the road your on. Jony Ive's who is responsible for much of the look on Apple Products has taken a new job with Ferrari to help them develop their first Electric auto and build their new electric auto portfolio to replace the ICE Ferrari portfolio. Seems the days of over rev'd Ferrari's is coming to an end. Ex-Apple Design Chief Helping Ferrari With First EV: Report (businessinsider.com)

Very cool that we are continually advancing battery technology as the charger tech is also moving forward pretty fast as we now have the newest chargers capable of sustained 360 kW of power recharging. Installation of these new units will begin in Europe now and available for purchase starting 2022 in the rest of the world. ABB launches the world’s fastest electric car charger EV Charging | Electric Vehicle Chargers | ABB Coming soon to a recharging station near you. Press release is that these chargers can recharge a 400 mile battery pack in 15 min. They also have a 4 charger cord unit that can sustain charging all four 400 mile battery pack auto's like a Rivian R1T in 15 min.

Electric is for public charging stations only. DOH, I bet there is home fueling pods and should be included especially on a farm. Story stated major retail gas stations.

Got a busy work day, but will find one or two. I know I have seen them. After all, the only way a company gets better is taking the good with the bad and I believe RJ would want to hear the opportunities for improvement. He has taken extra time to ensure Rivian Auto's will be some of the best out there. Plus the customers will be customers and as I stated, I suspect we will see towards the end of this year plenty of YouTube posted customer reviews.

Yes, but we have seen plenty of OEM sponsored events with both good and bad reviews. I honestly expect some serious reviews by the end of the year after plenty of people have had their Rivian and had a chance to take it off road and through the snow.

WOW, all the years I have been here and this is the first time seeing this thread, love the history info here. Very cool. Thanks @balthazar for adding details to the history.

Another Review and another win for Rivian.

Appreciate your response and view on this and I do agree with you that the Voltic 2.0 system was awesome and should have gone into a compact CUV and Compact truck as a logic solution for the now time. GM should have been working on this and brought it out when the 2.0 system was released. Yet, while some places are slow to react, there are many places that are investing and yes the West Coast is ahead of the U.S., but over all the East Coast is catching up and so is the mid-west. Yes you have the following sources to easily find charge places making a cross country trip doable for those that want to do road trips, sadly many humans want to fly there faster and just drive local, so the cross country excuse against BEVs does not hold water any longer.

Yet 50,477 electric stations are open. Here is the current all alternative fuels as comparison at 57,641 electric is winning. According to this story there are only 115,500 gas stations in the U.S. and an interesting read. How Many Gas Stations Are In U.S.? How Many Will There Be In 10 Years? - MarketWatch By 2030 they are projecting the number of gas stations to be cut in half. I can attest that I see fewer and fewer gas stations around western washington.

Sure Cash for ICE and recycle them all with a decent incentive. KKB value on your auto and off to the shredder!
