The difference, France has the year 2040 picked, which is a more reasonable date IMOThey know how hard it will be. Polluted cities across the world are/will be banning internal combustion vehicles over the next 20 years, so it's a must have to stay in business for the long term.
So let me get this straight.
Tesla's electric vehicle sales are miniscule so far.
Electric vehicles have been on sale for around a decade WITH extra government incentives slapped on them, and sales are underwhelming. The public has had every chance to own electric vehicles and its just not coming to fruition. The demand isnt there.
Now GM wants to aim for an all electric vehicle line up? What a knee slapper.
The internal combustion engine is, and will be, the most economical tool of travel for quite some time.
Electricians?Who the hell is gonna fix these things?
More then likely your friendly neighborhood Chevy dealer, specializing their product will be good for the maintenance/repair side of their business.Who the hell is gonna fix these things?
Good, the days of gas powered cars should of ended years ago. Glad to see auto makers moving forward with better technology, you cant improve on it without making the first important steps.

The Geek Squad at Best Buy.Who the hell is gonna fix these things?
Yep, it'll take a LONG time for the majority of cars on the road to be electric. Hell, hybrids have been around for almost two decades and they still only make up like 3% of all new car sales.So let me get this straight.

Same people who gix cars now. I imagine the dame question was asked about automatic transmissions and fuel injectionWho the hell is gonna fix these things?
Call me when they produce an affordable 1 ton electric pickup that can pull m 14,000 lb 5er 900+ miles to/from the beach twice a year. Until then I'll continue to fill up @ the diesel fuel stops.

I spent $165 +tax on a battery for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler the other day. A regular car battery that only lasted slightly over 3 years. I can't begin to imagine the cost of replacing multiple batteries in one of those eco friendly vehicles.Up here in the northern latitudes in winter, the weak link in a car is the battery. There are a lot of unanswered questions like how long do the batteries last vs. a practical range (a worn battery doesn't have the range of a new one). I wonder what the range is when you turn on the heater? How will old batteries be recycled (there are pretty nasty chemicals in there) and how much will replacements cost? What happens when you run out of electrons on the highway? I can see a gas/electric hybird working but electric only won't work here.
Electric cars are the tools of Satan.

I'm amused that this conversation is taking place on a technology that wasn't practical for consumers 20 years ago. Lemme see if I can find Dad's Hayes 9600-baud modem in the attic; man, that was FAST. The guys at Radio Shack could fix that with their soldering irons. Besides, nobody is going to bring cable or DSL out here in the suburbs.
