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.

Getting closer to the reveal of the Escalade IQ.

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.

Very cool to see that Hyundai is having EV sales back to back months increases. US: Hyundai BEV Sales Surged Again In July 2023 (msn.com)

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)

I do get that and agree, but I also just as Suzuki has a solid AWD low priced compact to sell for ICE, it would be a good option to have I think for the Bolt.

LOL X is going to be a porn social media site is my gut feeling for idiot Musk.

Also makes one wonder if AWD might get added as it has the room in the back for a second motor. You could remove the drop down storage space and add a motor here.

As Drew said, they had said production would end and then walked back by saying that customers loved the bolt and it would live on. Chevy Bolt will live on. GM announces plans to keep nameplate. (usatoday.com)

Banksy, a criminal through and through who loves to tag and deface public property all in the name of so-called ART. As one that has seen Seattle go from the Emerald city to the Graffiti tagged dirty trashed city, I would say LOCK HIM UP! Not a fan of tagging and the defacing of public property that is supposed to be enjoyed by all. While he feels he has a right to tag and spray paint everything in his vision, I also have a right to have a clean nice park, roads, freeways, etc. that are not a mess of spray painted tags.
