There are increasing signs the electric car strategy is doomed while natural gas vehicles are rapidly gaining traction. Let's take a closer look at this important issue. Which companies will thrive and which companies will be left by the wayside?
Toyota declared in September that it’s watering down its battery electric vehicle (BEV) plans by cutting back the production of the small Toyota eQ (known as the Scion iQ stateside).
Lithium ion battery maker A123 Systems today said it has sold its automotive business to Johnson Controls and is filing for bankruptcy protection.
The moves are a change in strategy for the ailing Waltham, MA-based company, which in August said it will sell an 80 percent share to the auto parts division of Chinese conglomerate Wanxiang for $450 million.
Johnson Controls will acquire a significant set of assets for its $125 million investment, some of which were paid with federal aid. A123 Systems’ auto business includes its technology, two battery factories in Michigan, a cathode powder manufacturing facility in China, and A123’s stake in two auto parts suppliers in China. Johnson Controls also will put up $72.5 million so A123 can maintain operations during the sale.

The M8 coupe looks so much like a Mustang in profile... I like the previous M6 Gran Coupe from about 10 years ago.. It's too bad Cadillac doesn't have a coupe and 4 seat convertible...something small based off the CT4 and/or a midsize CT5 based one would be great. I wish GM had built a production version of the gorgeous El Miraj concept. -

Don't Ford and GM already have factories in those countries, partially, for that reason though? We both know Ford and GM have factories in China already. I'm sure almost all of those vehicles stay domestic to China, and they'd be avoiding and tariff situation. I can't imagine China is importing any Ford or GM vehicle that's built in the US. I think anybody with a REAL brain knew there would be a big spike up front followed by no real truck buyers wanting one of those things. Putting the hatred for Elon aside, they're just not good enough TRUCKS. No truck buyer wants something like that.
