Hindsight is 20/20, but I do believe that nearly all GM vehicles should've had it. I know GM decided EV or nothing, so it is what it is, but in my tiny humble opinion a bunch of cars running around using Voltec like technology is where we should be in the car world right now. Toyota gets it, even as they move on with full EV development.

Your choices will be intentionally limited to full EV only, especially and likely exclusively in the U.S. as a policy to "fighting global warming." The rest of the world gets a free-pass.

Hybrids may be a good idea, but not if the end of using fossil fuels is the goal.
I get there's sarcasm in this post. I also think the car-makers plans are doo doo.
