GM 400-mile battery

Tesla killer -- not really, Tesla is at 390 miles and semis are 500-mile batteries.

But good news for those who don't like the looks of Cybertruck.

Or, the GM fateful -- except they will probably boycott this because GM CEO said they are into electric vehicles because of she believe in climate change.

    Referring to EV batteries by range in miles is kind of pointless. A battery of a given capacity might give 400 miles of range in a small car and less than 100 in a much bigger delivery van. The spec that is really useful (and that EV manufacturers hold very close to the vest) is capacity in KwH. For example, the Tesla semi was rolled out 2 1/2 years ago and yet its battery capacity is not public knowledge.

    Very interesting and encouraging. Not sure about 2030 but it’s coming.
