No More Internal Combustion Engines From Cadillac

[Marc]

Cadillac says that it will discontinue the internal combustion engine by 2030 & go all electric by then. Read about that at www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/cadillac-rolls-out-its-60000-lyriq-ev-as-it-phases-out-gas-engines.html

Cool stuff. That's a big change. Hopefully they solve some of the downfalls of electrics by then.

The biggest downfall: Many Hours long charging time.

All electric by 2030 seems a little ambitious, but it's a good goal.

Initial investment is the problem to me. Currently, buying an EV over a same/similar gasoline or diesel powered vehicle actually costs you more over the expected life of that vehicle. It becomes a "greater good" issue and we, as a nation, don't do that very well anymore...

I suspect they will perfect it at some point. It's cool to see the advancement of technology though.
