When?
Maybe, but I am skeptical. Gonna have to have major improvement in range, styling and charging station saturation before I trade in my ZO6! That time will probably come well after I leave this earth. LOL

Your assessment is dead on. This latest action by GM is just an affirmation that employees, taxpayers and even President Trump matter not as long as they can post larger profits. Ford moving production back to the US last year was an admirable and supportive action, and bolstered their credibility with the country.The approach taken by FCA to revamp existing plants to produce new models is commendable, and exactly what GM should be undertaking. They could have posted a profit of 5 Bil instead of 7.5 Bil, and used the 2.5 Bil to keep their employees on, while revamping the existing plants. As for me, I will vote with my wallet. My C7 is the last GM product I will buy for a long time.

trains and ships have little to do with battery power unlike these cars. Yes they use electric motors but those giant diesel generators are powering those motors not batteries.
