I found it odd that this presenter compares the price of an Equinox EV being competitive vs its ICE counterpart as if they are seamlessly interchangeble. I would not think so. If an Equinox EV is your only vehicle then you are stuck with it for road trips and evacuation scenarios
Now, if there was a Equinox hybrid for sale then, that's definitively a fair comparison to the Equinox ICE.
A 13-16 L HD trucks will only burn 1/4-1/2 a gallon of fuel per hour idling on a "rough" idle depending on the temperature. Have left them running for 45+ hrs and barely seen the fuel gauge (on a 200 gallon tank, twin 100's) move. A parking heater would use more like a gallon per day for a cab/sleeper, but there were times I would be told "just run it" (if MX or "safety " says to do it, they are the bosses) rather than "opti-idle" to let it turn on/off to keep minimum temp/battery voltage and letting cabin heater run.
Road trips, no longer a problem: https://news.gm.com/home.detail.html/Pages/news/us/en/2024/sep/0918-nacs.htmlI found it odd that this presenter compares the price of an Equinox EV being competitive vs its ICE counterpart as if they are seamlessly interchangeble.

You sound like someone who has no idea how the US government is structured or how it works.
He said with tariffs on ICE cars built out of the country raising their prices approx. $3000, that would make American built EV prices more attractive and that was without tax incentives. So, maybe that would be a tipping point to consider an EV.I found it odd that this presenter compares the price of an Equinox EV being competitive vs its ICE counterpart as if they are seamlessly interchangeble.

As long as he's dealing with hypotheticals, did he take into account the possible elimination of the EV tax credit?
Yep, he says right in the video that the prices were without incentives.
He's all for killing the tax incentives on his competition. He sees that as a positive for his business structure. One reason why I'm eliminating one brand from my car search. Their systems are tied into starlink.
I see the apology working in regards to the percentage of time I need a truck being small enough that I can rent it on some seldom occasions.
Then how the heck did I get darn near a million dollars in state and federal grants for my little town and it's 28 people?
Nah, he's an idiot, but an idiot that likes to make money. Or hopefully the company will can him when they figure out how much damage he's doing to new sales.
I don't know how that is remotely relevant to complaining about a unelected government worker
I think that right there is part of the problem.
The Spark EV is coming back, but not to the USA, of course.
This government worker was duly elected, though somebody will probably complain 'cause we used mail in ballots (saves us lotsa $$$). We could put every government job on the ballot, but it takes around 20 odd people to run a county and the ballots would get ridiculously long...Aren't most (like, the overwhelming majority of the government "workers") unelected?
They simply do that jobs with the authority given to them by their bosses who when you go far enough up the line hopefully results in somebody who was elected or more often appointed by an elected person...might be 10 steps away.Aren't most (like, the overwhelming majority of the government "workers") unelected?
Not to mention dealing with vandalized Tesla's....
Imagine the embarassment if they screw up and paint one of those backwards Buddhist swastikas.
