Still waiting for your response, @banddag
I told you up thread. Car co's secretly want EV's because they take only 1/3 of the labor and 1/2 the parts to build. Why the biggest contentions between unions and the car co's at the last strike was mostly about EV's and loss of union jobs in the future. A union plant in Toledo OH makes nothing but fuel rails for GM. 90 employees. Those jobs will be gone with EV's.
Toyota or Honda can't remember, said they will save billions each year in warranty work alone with EV's -no fuel, emissions, ignition, coolant problems to deal with. Ev motors have one moving part and most motors will easily last a million miles according to Tesla.
Yes, I believe hybrids will be popular for a while until the EV kinks get worked out. My local Pilot truck stop is putting in EV chargers as i type.
Talk with any tech who is learning ev tech. The cars are very simplistic. Majority of Tesla recalls are fixed online while the car sits at the owners home or work.
A friend owns a Chrysler dealership. The zone rep told him with Ev's he would only need 25% of his current techs or less but at the same time the dealership makes the bulk of their money/profit from the service dept and the future dealership model is moving towards online sales-you will buy it online -set price and pick up at a local dealer. Yes he is against EV's for these reasons.
As Rush always said follow the money. Ev's maximize profits and minimize cost for the car so's. The car co's can care less about the environment.
