    According to those that were able to interview the executives at the NY reveal, they are estimating the Escalade IQ to be about 8,500 curbweight. 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ: First Look at the Electric Escalade! (motortrend.com)

    Crazy how various publications think there is something up with GM due to delays in production of EVs. Overall, I think GM is taking a proper cautious approach to introducing new EVs and getting it right from the start. General Motors Outlines Ultium-Based BEV Rollout Plan For H2 2023 (insideevs.com)

    Happy Birthday @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY Weird part is that the router I never think about till it starts acting up. Usually, I have them replaced every 5 years, but this one went 7 years. WOW. Ultium Cells Response to US Senator Br... | Ultium Cells LLC Very interesting read, totally get GM here.

    Love the looks especially in Black Cherry, interior is a home run hit for me. Failure is the rear end and the taillights. WTF Cadillac, you should have kept the current Escalade taillights.

    Seems Fisker is bringing a Pickup to Market, Alaska is the name of the truck and it has a mid gate just like the Chevrolet Sierra truck. They also released the whole product line through 2026.

    And people at these charities wonder why younger generations do not give as much. Debt due to education and other expenses and the hounding of the Charities constantly asking for more money.

    They actually nailed it on the head for the 5 things the Ultium BOLT needs. Chevy's Ultium Bolt will need these 5 things to be successful | Electrek Fast NACS Charging - Ability to have up to 350kW charging speed, but at least half of the battery can handle 150kW charging allowing for fast 20 min charge ups. RWD/AWD powertrain option. Reminded that GM showed off in 2020 Battery day a 50HP electric motor that could be used in an AWD compact size EV to allow for traction and stability in foul weather. Keep the HOT Hatch Proud, Bolt is a Hatch, Bolt EUV became an SUV, not everyone wants a SUV. Improve the good of the BOLT, do not remove them to make it cheaper. Dealer Improvements - The first I do not think is needed by making an EV division of sales seperate from ICE sales. Train them to be knowledgable on both. The second I do totally agree with, all Chevy Dealers should have DC Fast chargers required, none of this Level 1 and or 2 charging BS. They point out that Ford has made it mandatory for all EV dealers to have DC fast chargers on the lots, no level 1 or 2 chargers.

    Cool to see that the Ford F150 Lighting EV truck production line is back up and running with a 300% increase in production and a 3rd shift coming to the plant. Ford Restarts Expanded Rouge Electric Vehicle Center; F-150 Lightning Production Capacity Tripled by this Fall | Ford Media Center Seems since Fords price cuts, F150 Lighting EV Truck has seen a surge in XLT trim level reservations.

    Lately I have seen a growing trend of worse offenders in not paying attention to driving and holding up traffic. Pretty much Tesla, Prius, BMW and Mercedes drivers are the worst at focusing on their only responsibility in that they are driving, pay attention to the road, not your phone.

    More information about "EVgo / GM partnership Produce 1,000th DC Fast Charging Stall"
    Starting off August for GM and EVgo is the fact that a signed agreement in 2020, expanded upon in 2021 has led to a growing collaboration between the two companies in development and installation of FAST DC charging stalls in major metro markets. To date the agreement between GM and EVgo is for 3,250 DC fast charging stalls to be installed and managed by EVgo as part of GMs Ultium fast charging network. Todate, the companies have installed DC Fast charging stalls in 230 locations in 39 markets covering 27 states of the EVgo 350kW chargers. Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo had the following to say in the press release: As one of the preferred EV charging point operators, this continues to grow the Ultium Charge 360 initiative that GM is funding to expand public charging access. This 1,000th DC Fast charging stall was opened at the Woodridge, Illinois, Woodgrove Festival Shopping mall. EVgo released that on June 12, 2023 they would support the NACS charging connector in the EVgo charging stalls joining GM and many other auto companies in offering NACS charging alternatives to Tesla Supercharger stations.

    Very cool to read that GM might be considering an EV Compact Pickup. General Motors is investigating small EV “party” trucks | Ars Technica Seems like others think GM is wise to do an EV compact Pickup too.

    Stories like these are very wrong in what they are saying. Why I Wouldn't Buy an Electric Car yet, Despite the Amazing Technology (businessinsider.com) Mainly due to the fact that most folks will charge at home and if you look at cost over the average life of long term auto ownership, EVs become way cheaper than ICE. This is one of the best writeups on why FUD is rampant on EV ownership. Here's Why People Don't Buy Electric Cars (and Why They're Wrong) | U.S. News (usnews.com)

    If EA can get their act together and both EA and ChargePoint have announced joining the NACS camp with plans over the next 1 to 2 years to add NACS cables to their chargers, this should be really good news for buyers of EVs and road trips.

    I was meaning the current overall style of Toyota products is anything but stylish and an egg crate grill is like a step backwards. I would wish Toyota would truly make it look better.
