Purely electric vehicles have lower maintenance costs. No explosions means less wear. Less moving parts means less wear. Vehicles depreciate slower, last longer, and need fewer repairs and new parts. That all adds up to huge losses for the auto companies. Why would they want to push anything better than gasoline and diesel engines that make them so much money? Bob Lutz won't live long enough to care about the environmental damage, but some of us will. I wonder where he thinks he is taking that money and fame for being a CEO when he dies.
