EV Adoption

FEBRUARY 7, 2021

In GM teaser videos we saw hints of future electric GMC and Chevrolet pickups and what clearly looks like a Camaro. 4, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Audi Q4 e-tron, Toyota RAV4 Prime PHEV, Ford Escape PHEV, and Lincoln Corsair PHEV have either become available or likely will be in 2021.

GM is bringing back the Hummer brand as an EV within the GMC brand. GM’s signature EV now is the Chevrolet Bolt EV , another new name, which arrived as a 2017 model and promptly won Motor Trend ’s Car of the Year award. I’m hoping for the latter. It’s certainly the opposite of what Harley-Davidson is doing.

I have driven several Chevrolet and GMC vehicles with the wonderful Duramax turbodiesel engine, so expectations were high for a luxury week behind the wheel. General Motors uses these on its heavy-duty Chevrolet and GMC pick-ups as they can handle the stopping needs when towing as well as dissipate heat under repeated use.

BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen have all not shipped certain electric models to the US and Toyota is shipping the majority of their RAV4 Prime PHEVs to Europe and Asia. In my very first article for this site and blog back in January 2017 , I created a framework of factors that were critical for EVAdoption in the US (chart below).
