Just a question
I know the EV is about 2 years away and GM has invested so much money into the Ultium batteries, but I just wonder if the new EV auto industry is going to end up like high tech computers, as soon as you buy it, it is obsolete - I would hate to sink 100K in to a new EV and then in 2 years they come out with new batteries (looks like the new tech is solid state batteries)
SO now the 2026 HEV has 2 to 3 times the range and can charge in 30 minutes to 80% and don't have all if the issues the lithium ion (long charge times and FIRES) - now you can't even trade in your new 2 year old HEV in because it has the older battiers and no one wants it - that would suck
