Major Manf EV Specs?

[madmadscientist]

Hello All,

It seems like there is a lot of EV's on the horizon from big auto manf. Nissian, Mitsu, etc. I'm trying to find specs for these cars.
Specs such as when they are supposed to be produced, performance specs, expected costs, etc.

I don't suppose anyone could point me to a handy-dandy web page where all this stuff is broken out?

thanks,

Past history has always been that the vehicles are 2 years away. I've seen such examples as far back as the 1970's. Problem is, in 2 years...no vehicle. It's now another 2 years. And so on and so on.

Maybe, just maybe, it's going to be different now because it looks like China will start making EV's. Being communist and isolated, they might not have ties to the Western interests that have a stake in the perpetuation of the Oil Infrastructure and its insane profits. If China builds EVs, then we might just have to reluctantly follow.

Two basic problems:

1) Funds that hold stock in all the major auto manufacturers also hold stock in Oil.

2) Major car manufacturers depend on the endless revenue related to the routine service and maintenance of the gas engine. They don't make much money selling you a car. They make money on servicing it over and over. EVs need very little service.

The Big Auto EV press release is called "greenwashing". It make the public think more highly of the auto company in question. Really just a form of sleazy advertising technically known as Institutional Advertising.
