Like every other revolutionary form of technology, next-gen "renewable" cars have thus far been largely out of reach for the average driver.
Thankfully—as happened with those other technologies—the price point of electric vehicles looks to be on a possible downward slope:
[GM and Honda] announced on Tuesday that they will team up on electric car development with the goal of selling millions of low-cost electric vehicles. All of the vehicles will rely on a shared battery architecture, but they will be continue to be branded distinctly as either GM or Honda cars. The automakers will also explore ways to develop new, cheaper batteries that improve vehicle performance and sustainability. GM and Honda are already examining new options like silicon, lithium-metal and solid-state batteries.
GM said that it will offer a compact SUV for less than $30,000 as early as 2027, though the company declined to say if it would be sold in North America. Honda declined to reveal pricing for new offerings that may emerge from the partnership. It has already said it will launch the electric Honda Prologue, an SUV, and an Acura electric SUV in 2024, and plans for additional electric vehicles later this decade.
This is great news. There is a whole lot to criticize about the Left's approach to renewable energy—progressives apparently believe that you can just kinda switch off fossil fuels and turn on green energy over the course of like a seven-year period—but the plain truth of the matter is this: At some point fossil fuels are going to run out.
It's probably going to be a good long while, maybe on the order of centuries, but it's going to happen.
The correct long-term approach is to continue using fossil fuels as long as we can while also investing hard in next-gen energy technologies.
That way we won't have to worry about when the oil and the gas dries up; with any luck, fossil fuels will be a still-viable yet antiquated form of energy long before it even runs out.
The future looks bright and full of energy—literally!
