Hopefully it doesn't end up that way for GM and hopefully something similar doesn't happen to Ford.

I think the EV future is blurry as well; not because modern batteries or motors wouldn't be suitable for much of the need, but because there is no consensus on where the fuel will come from to generate the electricity and the infrastructure to get it delivered where it is needed. And all this must be done on the scale that will allow electricity to supplant the gigantic gasoline and diesel consumption we need.
Anyone thinking it's coming from wind and sun "renewables" is not answering the question. That's only begging it.
Nuclear could do it, but there's the Jane Fonda Intellectual Society ready to pounce.
